Soilwork bring the Tour Majestic to Australia in 2016
Visionary Swedish melodeath metal masters Soilwork are set to embark on a national tour of Australia this summer, the announcement coinciding with the release today of their tenth and triumphant studio album, The Ride Majestic out today, Friday 28th August.
Currently trekking through North America as part of their extensive world tour, Soilwork’s Australian club dates will kick off in Perth with shows in Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney before wrapping up in Melbourne.
Having toured the world, released a critically acclaimed double-album, a live DVD and a five-track EP over the past two and a half years, it’s clear that Soilwork remain tireless masters of their craft. Now, they return with The Ride Majestic, another jubilant moment for a band whose body of work stretches across twenty years.
Stylistically, The Ride Majestic picks up where the band left off with their previous record, The Living Infinite (2013) - each track tempering instrumental aggression with soaring, intoxicating melodies. Lyrically the album is driven by an unshakable fixation with mortality, as vocalist Björn Strid explains: “Just about every member of the band had a death in the family while recording the album... We came up with this title to remember what we've gone through together and make it a hymn to those we've lost and celebrate their lives...”
