SOILWORK / STABBING THE DRAMA

Soilwork’s last album "Figure Number Five" was ground breaking for the band and made the Metal world sit up and listen with its powerful catchy chorus’s, Melodic Death Metal at its best, similar to Dark Tranquillity / In Flames and this CD carries on from where the last one left off.

The key ingredient is the subtle but effective keyboard touches that are an essential part of the songs throughout and help to punctuate the aggressive riffing with memorable, catchy hooks. You only need to hear "Stabbing The Drama" once, to hear exactly what I mean and there are plenty more like it on this top notch CD, put this together with the superb guitar work and what you get is a modern classic.

Best tracks include; "Stabbing The Drama", "Fate In Motion", "Weapon Of Vanity" and "Blind Eye Halo"
