Former SOILWORK Drummer Arrested For Carrying Hunting Knife In Public Place

May 19, 2009

Former SOILWORK and current 5TH SONIC BRIGADE drummer Henry Ranta was stopped by the Swedish police this past weekend after driving too fast. Since Ranta didn't have a driver's license, the police searched the car and found a huge hunting knife. In Sweden, carrying knives that can be used as weapons in public places is illegal and if prosecuted and convicted, Ranta faces up to a month in prison.

"What can I say? What happened happened! I just laugh at it," Ranta says of the incident.

5TH SONIC BRIGADE, which also features Marcus Öhrn (NOICE),Richard Evenlind (ex-CRISS '99) and Peter Samuelsson (ex-NIFTERS),just kicked off its first summer tour of Sweden and plays in Kristianstad on Wednesday.
