Checking in from The Trocadero in Philadelphia during the band’s current headlining tour, SOILWORK vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid has the following to say about the multi-chart news:
“We are so stoked to see the incredible success of our new album The Living Infinite! Landing this high on the Billboard chart is simply amazing! It’s our highest chart position in the USA ever... and being #1 on the iTunes Metal charts is also jaw-dropping for sure! We wanna extend a huge thank you to everyone who bought our new album, digitally or physically! Everyone seems to love it and we can’t wait to hit your town on our current North American tour and perform the new songs for you live! Thank you all for your amazing support!!!”
