SOILWORK Frontman Explains Hamburg Cancellation

October 17, 2005

SOILWORK vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Just want to tell you that we're really sorry about the cancelled show at Markthalle in Hamburg. I tell you, it takes a lot for SOILWORK to cancel a show, we would never screw our fans... This time we didn't have much of a choice since our drummer Dirk's skin on his hands were almost peeled off... We did what we could to make it a nice evening and did a meet and greet with some give aways and stuff. I want to thank you guys for your patience and respect and we hope to make it up for you anytime soon."

SOILWORK are continuing to tour in support of their latest CD, "Stabbing the Drama", available now on Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2003's "Figure Number Five" was recorded at Fascination Street studios in Örebro and Dug-Out Productions in Uppsala, Sweden with producer Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, IN FLAMES, STUCK MOJO).
