SOILWORK Guitarist Says New Material Is 'A Lot More Technical'

December 18, 2009

Peter Wichers, the guitarist for the Swedish metal band SOILWORK who currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee and works as a producer and songwriter, has posted the following message on his MySpace blog:

"Here we are in the end of 2009 and it really makes me think we did this last year go.

"I have had a great fall, and I really enjoyed working on the upcoming NEVERMORE record ['The Obsidian Conspiracy'].

"Working alongside Jeff Loomis [NEVERMORE guitarist] was an amazing experience and I can truly say that he most likely is one (if not) the best metal guitar players in the business.

"The songs on the new NEVERMORE record should have something for every NEVERMORE fan. It has some of the most extreme stuff they have ever done, and also some of the most beautiful atmospheric stuff they have ever done.

"I am very honored to have worked with these guys and there is no doubt in my mind that this record will not be another milestone.

"I also did get the chance to work along side some great people from Barrie, Ontario [Canada]. The band's name is REMAIN and they have some pretty kick-ass stuff, and as I say it, beer-drinking friendly tunes.

"We spent about five weeks in the Carolinas too, where we tracked majority of the record.

"I have since the completion of their record, started writing new stuff for SOILWORK's next upcoming record. The material is shaping up quite well, and I am very happy with the direction that we have chosen to take on this record.

"The material is a lot more technical than before, but still with the catchy elements of our previous works.

"I will be handling the production part of the record, again outside of Lake Norman in the Carolinas. And we start recording drums in Asheville, NC at a studio called Echo Mountain.

"I will work alongside with Jens Bogren for the drums, and then I will fly to Sweden to participate with the mix in Örebro, again with Jens Bogren.

"Next year will be a busy year, and I am already taking on more productions between SOILWORK's schedule, so that will be fun."
