Once upon a time, in a rural town in Sweden, in a cozy little home that still has wooden furniture, a bearded aging man finds something from another time that awakens the beast of his own youth within him: a VHS cassette tape featuring the recording studio antics of his fellow countrymen SOILWORK.
And hey, with streamed digital files, holographic projections, and possible direct electronic transmissions into the occipital lobe of the human brain… who won’t be aching for the simpler times of old?
Check out the video for the soul-soaring SOILWORK track, “Rise Above The Sentiment,” on YouTube: http://youtu.be/_LEKU7cBOak
The song comes from the band’s ninth studio album & first dual-disc release, The Living Infinite which will be released on February 27th in Asia (via license to Marquee Records), in Europe on March 1st, and in North America on March 5th. Produced by Jens Bogren (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, BLOODBATH), the album features artwork by 2005’s Stabbing The Drama artist Mircea Eftemie Gabriel of MNEMIC.
