By far one of the biggest bands in all of Sweden is the aggressive Metal force known as Soilwork. For quite a few years now the band have steadily built a reputation that has given them great repoire with the Modern Metal world. Combining all the elements that make a great Metal album, the guys have truly struck gold with their latest work of genius Sworn To A Great Divide. Melodic, yet painstakingly fierce the band have the ability to hold an audience at bay with relatively little or no effort at all. they are natural born leaders (no pun intended) in the Metal realms. Minus the departure of their original guitarist Peter Wichers in December of 2005 the band have remained a driving factor in the evolution of the Metal genre. I recently caught up with drummer Dirk Verbeuren to discuss with him the latest developments in the bands busy career as well as the various other projects that he is involved with (Scarve/One Way Mirror). The following inside look came at the tail end of Soilwork's successful North American tour alongside fellow openers DevilDriver and headliners Killswitch Engage and Lamb Of God. The band are expected to return to the states come March for a much anticipated headlining tour.
