About

Soilwork is a melodic death metal band from Helsingborg, Sweden, founded in 1995 by Björn "Speed" Strid and Peter Wichers. Over twelve studio albums - from the debut Steelbath Suicide (1998) to Övergivenheten (2022) - they have built a reputation for pairing aggressive riffing with soaring melodic choruses, and are widely regarded as one of the genre's defining acts. The band is signed to Nuclear Blast and has toured alongside Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, In Flames and Arch Enemy, among others.
