Swedish modern melodic death metal maestros SOILWORK have announced some first festival gigs for 2013. More to follow soon.
Commented drum monster Dirk Verbeuren: “Yes yes folks, the SOILWORK summer tour schedule is taking form and we’re excited like little kids to once again bring our very own brand of Swedish metal to the old continent, the US and even Mexico for the very first time ever! Stay tuned for an energetic set blending songs off of our new double album, “The Living Infinite”, with past classics... And maybe even a few rare gems! See you there, metalheads!”
