{"product_id":"the-ride-majestic-cd","title":"The Ride Majestic: CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoilwork’s reputation as one of Sweden’s finest exports is well-deserved. Few bands\nhave melded the aggressiveness of metal with genuinely catchy choruses to such\nimpressive results. Soilwork have established a solid reputation alongside fellow\ncountrymen and women such as In Flames, Meshuggah and Arch Enemy and\ninfluenced bands such as US heavyweights Killswitch Engage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurfacing in 1997 with the five-track ‘In Dreams We Fall Into The Eternal Lake’ demo,\nSoilwork formed as a quartet before expanding for their first full-length release.\n‘Steelbath Suicide’, the band’s official debut, saw the light of day in 1998 and\nimmediately caused a major positive stir in the metal underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir mix of modern, melodic and progressive metal has created a distinctive sound\nspearheaded by the soaring vocals of Bjorn ‘Speed’ Strid. Albums like 2002’s ‘Natural\nBorn Chaos’ (produced by Devin Townsend) and the recent supreme double album\n‘The Living Infinite’ have helped build a dedicated fanbase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor their tenth new album, Soilwork are joined by new bassist Markus Wibom,\nformerly of Helsingborg hardcore group Hearts Alive. Wibom replaces longtime band\nmember Ola Flink, who has amicably left the group to focus on other endeavors.\nWibom has been a personal friend of the band for many years and has previously\ntoured with Soilwork as a guitar tech and lighting designer. Soilwork vocalist Bjorn\n‘Speed’ Strid states, “Flink will forever be a symbol for Soilwork and of all we were\nand still are about. That being said, we all could sense that he eventually would come\nto a crossroads. He understandably and respectfully chose to step down.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded by David Castillo (Opeth, Katatonia) at Studio Groendal and mixed by Jens\nBogren (Kreator, Amon Amarth), ‘The Ride Majestic’ is another collection of blistering\nmodern metal. Breakneck arrangements married with infectious melodic hooks\npepper the 11 tracks. 18 years on and Soilwork are as fertile as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1.\tThe Ride Majestic\u003cbr\u003e\n2.\tAlight In The Aftermath\u003cbr\u003e\n3.\tDeath In General\u003cbr\u003e\n4.\tEnemies In Fidelity\u003cbr\u003e\n5.\tPetrichor By Sulphur\u003cbr\u003e\n6.\tThe Phantom\u003cbr\u003e\n7.\tThe Ride Majestic (Aspire Angelic)\u003cbr\u003e\n8.\tWhirl Of Pain\u003cbr\u003e\n9.\tAll Along Echoing Paths\u003cbr\u003e\n10.\tShining Lights\u003cbr\u003e\n11.\tFather And Son Watching The World Go Down\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49978778222834,"sku":"727361349028","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-54339_1.jpg?v=1787664538","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/the-ride-majestic-cd","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
