Unsoiled

It had come to my attention that the person who petitioned the authorities to stop Watain from playing here was also responsible in the attempt to halt Soilwork. If this doesn't speak of paranoia, then it's definitely fashionable. Please be wary of attention seeking individuals who ride on minimum intellect to stir insecurity among the masses. Just because you did one, you'd want to do another.

Screw you.

By the way, we know who you are. 

Gonna get

I'm so gonna get these 2 releases. I've heard some stuff from both & they sounded like they way they should be- like themselves.

I was off Soilwork since A Predator's Portrait. The releases thereafter were rather lost in definition. No it's not about the guitar tones but the music per se; they sounded like those metal-core (for want of a better adjective) outfits trying too hard to impress when they should know they are impressive to begin with. This is happening  to The Haunted in the meant time, unclear if it's a rite of passage thing for Swedish bands.

Dark Throne had been defiant to their flagship genre for a good three releases but the chaps treated that as a discovery passage. According to them they still sounded like themselves but many of us would disagree after being ingrained by the band's black metal fodder. This isn;t exactly a return to familiar pastures but it's more Dark Throne than what the last three releases could offer. Well at least to me.
