SOILWORK: Video Interview Available

March 20, 2009

Vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid and drummer Dirk Verbeuren of Sweden-based metallers SOILWORK were interviewed for the "Rock Circus" video show on February 18, 2009 at the Rex Theatre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Watch the eight-minute chat below.

In a recent interview with SuicideGirls.com, SOILWORK guitarist Peter Wichers spoke about what direction the band might take musically with its next album. "We talked about maybe taking a little bit of a different approach for the next record," he said. "Having me and Sylvain [Coudret, guitar] back in the band, I think that we're probably going to try to do stuff that might be a little more technical. We want to keep the element of the catchy chorus but at the same time maybe have bit more guitar solos than on "Sworn to a Great Divide" and also let Dirk [Verbeuren, drums] get more space on the record for drumming. That was one of the things I think that "Sworn to a Great Divide" was lacking a little bit. It's a good record but I think that with such talented musicians the next album definitely needs to have more performance."
