SOILWORK Drummer Checks In

April 24, 2008

SOILWORK drummer Dirk Verbeuren has issued the following update:

"It's been a few weeks since the Scum Of The Earth tour, and we're getting all geared up to hit the road again! The month of May will be somewhat special, since it will see SOILWORK's first-ever visit to Russia, followed by a long-awaited headlining trip to Australia and Japan where we haven't played since 2004. Prepare for some Swede-tacular live action!

"Unfortunately, our previously announced shows in China and Indonesia were cancelled due to visa issues. We hereby apologize to our Chinese and Insonesian fans, and we promise to do our best to plan a new tour as soon as possible.

"In other news, we're very proud to announce the imminent release of an exclusive 7" vinyl picture disc of our latest single 'Exile'! Side B will feature the furiously blasting 'The Pittsburgh Syndrome'. This little jewel will be strictly limited so keep an attentive eye on the Nuclear Blastwebstore.

"Furthermore, you can now purchase official SOILWORK t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts at the brand new SOILWORKonline store. Different items (such as girlie shirts, wristbands and more) will be made available over time, and quantities will be limited, so better act fast!"

Capital Chaos has posted video footage of SOILWORK performing on March 31, 2008 at The Boardwalk in Orangevale, California. Watch the clip below.

SOILWORK recently parted ways with guitarist Ola Frenning due to Ola's "resistance to the demands of the road." David Andersson filled in on the band's tour with THROWDOWN. The group will then tour Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia before returning to Europe for festivals and a headlining U.S. tour in the fall.

SOILWORK sold 5,000 copies of its new album, "Sworn to a Great Divide", in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 148 on The Billboard 200 chart.
