About Soilwork

SOILWORK is back with their twelfth studio album, which represents the band in their growth and their current phase of life. Unlike the albums before, the creation process of Övergivenheten was very lengthy and a representation of the emotional state of the guys from SOILWORK. Given the circumstance at the time of creation, there was no hurry to finish the album, which meant that the band was able to reflect on their music and savor the process of creating the album. Musically, Övergivenheten is the continuation of the SOILWORK legacy of the last years. To make the album sound as organic, among other things, acoustic elements have been incorporated into the songs, which help to make the sound experience so close and genuine. Övergivenheten can be translated to The Abandonment. To be surrounded by the thought of being abandoned or even abandoning others. The album deals with darker thoughts that have shaped the band itself and affected the development process of the album. The personal struggles align with social difficulties outside of the band. Guitarist David Andersson's songwriting has been used as an escape to deal with difficulties that are directly related to midway anxiety, which also resonates his lyrics. In terms of balancing the darkness of David’s lyrics out, Björn takes own inspiration with his point of view. Since both connect an intense relationship, music is the common language that brings both of them on the same level despite their different stages of life.
