Swedish metal legends Soilwork have commenced recording their new album, due later in 2018/early 2019 for their long-time label Nuclear Blast Records. The band is at Nordic Sound Lab studios in Skara, Sweden, and have been sharing posts from their social media accounts of them at work on the production. The new album will be the follow—up to 2015’s acclaimed release, The Ride Majestic. It will be the bands first new music without drummer Dirk Verbueren, who departed the band to join Megadeth last year. New drummer Bastian Thusgaard (The Arcane Order) will make his recording debut on this release.
