樂團BIO
銜接哥登堡正宗血脈與新世代能量 大膽嘗試更多元的進化之作
充分獵取各方音樂精華並確切掌握自我特質 為旋律死金開闢全新路線
創團初期扛著正統Melodic Death Metal旗幟闖蕩樂壇,
原名Inferior Breed的Soilwork在新世代樂風交替轉變時刻確切掌握自我特質,
充分獵取各方音樂精華,加重了Clean Vocal份量以及雕琢的旋律,
不但令聲勢扶搖直上,更常被拿來與In Flames相提並論,
名正言順成為旋律死亡界第二世代的掌門人。
來自瑞典Helsingborg,目前陣容為主唱Bjorn Strid、雙吉他Peter Wichers、Sylvain Coudret、
鍵盤Sven Karlsson、貝斯Ola Flink和鼓手Dirk Verbeuren的Soilwork於1996年成軍;
音樂上傳承哥登堡正宗血脈並融合歐陸Power/Heavy元素,
兼具穿透性十足編曲模式以及與深受Pantera、Meshuggah、Carcass等樂團影響所散發出的Deathrash狂猛衝勁讓樂團顯得特別耀眼。
在Michael Amott(Arch Enemy)居中牽線下Soilwork加入了獨立廠牌Listenable Records,
期間分別發表的「Steel Bath Suicide(1998)」、「The Chainheart Machine(2000)」作品雙雙獲得不錯迴響,
順利在眾強環伺情況下殺出重圍,各大媒體讚譽有佳,
並如願和Defleshed、Cannibal Corpse、Marduk等樂界前輩共同巡迴演出!
因具有突破性發展的「A Predator’s Portrait」在市場上反應相當熱烈,
讓Soilwork能夠大膽放手去嘗試更多元音樂創作;
請來金屬怪傑Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad)監製拱出全新大碟「Natural Born Chaos」,被BW&BK雜誌選為2002年度最佳專輯。

感想
Soilwork這個團體,
算是旋律死金中,
我比較少接觸到的一團,
通常我對那種可能每年或是一兩年就會出一張專輯的樂團,
會比較不感興趣,
與其說不感興趣,
應該是說會有主觀意識認為不會有這麼多的好作品。
但是不可否認的,
Soilwork的作品,
在我很認真的去接觸後,
它屬於我滿喜歡的風格,
主唱的唱腔,
厚實,有力。
而樂曲的部分,
除了Melodic Death Metal 的元素外,
還融入了Deathrash(死亡鞭金)的元素,
讓他們的作品,
多了很多元的風貌。
但在市場壓力下,
樂團也漸漸的走向比較modern rock的風格,
已經漸漸失去了原本旋死鞭金的特色,
是比較可惜的一點。
單就旋死的部分,
早期的soilwork屬於很不錯的團體,
旋律性夠,
且歌詞意境都滿到位的,
但後期,
歷經團員改朝換代後,
風格逐漸走樣,
如果就我而言,
這樣的團就是爛掉了,
soilwork在2010年也出了新的single,
已經嗅不到旋死的氣味了。

Soilwork - Stabbing The Drama
My declaration hurts, just wanna stab it right now!
Congratulations, you've found yourself
Been preaching too many times to an hysterical mind
So won't you fucking behave yourself...
It's all in there, without despair
So you've saved your soul?
It always depends who will deliver
Have you ever known
Such a beautiful mind that gives you shelter
I'm waiting for something to show,
I might as well...
Just drag me down so low!
I'm down the drain and I've got nothing to fear
With a polluted mind
I had my share of losing
Don't you ever cross that line
So you've saved your soul?
It always depends who will deliver
Have you ever known
Such a beautiful mind that gives you shelter
Break the record, in a second, cherish your mental weapons
Watch the progress from an aspect that's stabbing the drama inside..
I'm waiting for something to show,
I might as well...
Just drag me down so low!
I'm aiming for something to show,
My punishment
For being down so low!
I can't believe how it used to be,
Selfish minds were abusing me
Self pity and determined to crawl
Manipulation of a merciful - soul!
Solo: Frenning
I'm waiting for something to show,
I might as well...
Just drag me down so low!
I'm aiming for something to show,
My punishment
For being down so low!
