Following guitarist Peter Wichers’ departure from the band in 2005 many Soilwork fans are wondering how the songwriting will be affected, as Wichers’ was a primary songwriter for the band. Guitarist Daniel Antonsson (Dimension Zero, Pathos) was recently announced as Wichers’ replacement, but it is unclear whether or not he is involved in the songwriting process.

Fans of Soilwork’s 2002 release Natural Born Chaos will be happy to know that producer Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad) will be handling vocal production duties for the new, as-of-yet untitled disc.
