Swedish veteran metallers Soilwork have released a short teaser for the upcoming music video for the next single, “Witan”, which you can watch below. The song is taken from their long-awaited 11th album, Verkligheten, which marks their first in more than three years and also the first to feature Thusgaard on drums, who replaced Dirk Verbeuren in 2016.
The new album continues what’s been an exciting new chapter to unfold in the career of Soilwork, who debuted two decades ago with Steelbath Suicide and never looked back. Previous albums The Ride Majestic and double album The Living Infinite were jaw-droppingly effective slices of modern metal, and it appears the 3rd time will be a charm.
‘Verkligheten’ is set to be released on January 11, 2019 via Nuclear Blast. The first edition digipack, as well as the vinyl versions, will also contain the exclusive ‘Underworld’ EP, containing 4 more songs (see tracklist below).
The digipack version will also feature special artwork with lavish foil print.
The album as well as accompanying merchandise is now available for pre-order in various formats (Digipack + T-Shirt, Digipack, black/orange/purple vinyl as well as digital download/stream).
