There are few artists that need no introduction, but Sweden's Soilwork are definitely one of them. One listen to the band's latest album, The Panic Broadcast, makes it obvious that they're still miles ahead of the competition. The Panic Broadcast showcases a newly energized Soilwork, steering clear of all conventions and fully embracing the “bigger than life” ethos. Everything on this eighth album is indeed bigger, better and stronger, from the massive real-life production courtesy of Peter Wichers and Jens Bogren, to the catchy yet adventurous songwriting and the stellar musical performance of what is without a doubt the band’s strongest line-up to date. Soilwork are a masterful incarnation, taking modern metal to the next level and thus generating a whole new genre of prolific music. (LP) (2010)
