Exclusive Cinemetal Premiere: Soilwork’s The Ride Majestic Official Documentary, Part One
1995 marks the twentieth anniversary of Soilwork, one of Sweden’s greatest contributors to the melodic death metal scene — which is really saying something, because for a time Sweden seemed to be churning out great new melodeath bands every week.
The band will commemorate the occasion in the best way possible: with a new album, The Ride Majestic, and, of course, lots and lots of touring all across the world!
Today, MetalSucks is pleased to be debuting the first half of a two-part documentary commissioned to coincide with the release of The Ride Majestic. In this installment, founding vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid discusses the band’s formation and two-decade majestic ride towards The Ride Majestic. It is a must-watch for all Soilwork fans.
Check out the video below! Come to MetalSucks next Wednesday, August 5 at 11 a.m. EST to see the second half. The Ride Majestic comes out August 28 on Nuclear Blast. You can stream the title track here, and pre-order the album here (North America) or here (Europe). The band’s extensive tour itinerary is below the video. We’re sure we don’t have to tell you that these dudes rip live — make sure you catch ’em!
