There are few artists that need no introduction, but Sweden"s Soilwork are definitely one of them. Their reputation as one of the country"s finest exports (aside from mustaches, meatballs and Swedish fish) is well-deserved. Few bands have properly melded the aggressiveness of thrash with genuinely catchy choruses with such impressive results. Before you start name-dropping the latest metalcore sensation, let us just get one thing straight: Soilwork did it first and continues to do it better! Soilwork, their name itself a nod to their journey from the ground up, have followed in the footsteps of countrymen like In Flames, Meshuggah, Arch Enemy and Dark Tranquillity. Now with the return of guitarist and founding member Peter Wichers and a invigorated sense of purpose, The Panic Broadcast is the strongest album in their aresnal since the groundbreaking Natural Born Chaos in `02.
