Year: 2016
Soilwork is trying to be always in the spotlight keeping their name hot in the market, by giving their audience always something new every single year since 2013. To be more precise this year they do not offer exactly something new but mostly a mixture of old and new. The disc is opening with two new tracks, ‘Helsinki’ and the title track with their catchy choruses and melodic guitars, classic/typical compositions from the Swedes still wonderful and the rest of the album is made up from bonus tracks that the band had already released sometime, somewhere in the world. Actually the base is “Beyond The Inifite” the Japan-only EP while the rest songs beside the 2 new ones, are spanning through bonus editions of 2005’s ‘Stabbing the Drama’ up until last year’s ‘The Ride Majestic’. You can find some true rarities here, with some tracks being remixed and remastered in order to fit more to this release. This is a not only for fans made compilation but a worth its value album, almost an hour of quality music that captures the modern era of the famous band. Certainly some tracks could easily be in any album and not to been kept as b sides but this is a sign of how great Soilwork are and how many lethal weapons they got on their arsenal.
