Finnish band Dyecrest is returning after a long hiatus and has just released a new song called "Red Alert". It is a second single from the upcoming full-length album "Are You Not Entertained?" to be released later this spring via Inverse Records."Red Alert", represents more aggressive side of the new album. Besides Salo, the song features also Soilwork's frontman Björn "Speed" Strid on lead vocals.

""Red Alert", is all about that "take no prisoners" attitude and it works as a charm as a duet between Björn and Mikael!" says Dyecrest's guitarist Matti Pasanen with a grin.

"In your face" vocals and tight riffing in the verses combined with a catchy chorus spiced up with a massive choir," describes Pasanen.

Adding that "This was one of the songs I counted on already in the early phase of the production. Listening to the final mix I'm glad to state that I was right. It's a total killer, no doubt about that!" Pasanen ends with a cheery smile.

Sweden melodic death metalles Soilwork formed many years ago, have toured the world, released and written material and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Drummer Dirk Verbeuren took some time to discuss the band's ninth album to date as well as how the current headlining tour is going for them.


1. How did you guys come up with your band name?

Dirk: From what I know it was a word that one of the guys invented and means "Working from the ground up" we have always been a hard working band so that's what it means and where it came from.

2. What lyrical theme do you guys use in your music? What message do you want to send?

Dirk: The lyrics are inspired by personal experiences having a strong connection to the ocean. There's a lot of positive messages even with the dark themes, we have a solid line of lyrics on this record so anyone can relate to them.

3. What bands have influenced your band and its sound?

Dirk: There are so many. I think when we formed it began with At The Gates and In Flames but as the years went on we now listen to everything Napalm Death, Nine Inch Nails, everything comes in different ways. We all had contributed different material with this album so we're all open to bringing that material just letting it flow as it comes.

4. Why did you want to release a double-disc album this time around?

Dirk: It was something different to do, we wanted to make a statement, doing something we had to get use to at first we felt it was the right thing to do. It shows the fans or anyone else that listens to our music know what we do and how we're succeeding when making a recording that shows how strong we are.

5. How would you describe the overall sound of the new album?

Dirk: I would say it has a lot of different elements in it but more of the older material we used on the old stuff. A lot of the new elements we also used has some songs starting differently we just went with it writing something and seeing where it would take us. We have a strong identity in what we play so it keeps that Soilwork touch having a strong melodic metal style is the best way to describe it.

6. What are your expectations for the CD?

Dirk: It's a great album that we're super proud of.

7. It's been a while since you guys have toured as the headliners, how does it feel to have the spotlight?

Dirk: It's awesome being out on the road in the U.S. We worked a lot throughout the years and now it's good to be back again. We can play a fairly long set, changing it up, it's good to be back on the road.

8. What are your favorite things about touring in the US?

Dirk: Meeting fans eye to eye, feeling the music, those are the good moments that come together. It's where all of your hard work pays off showing that whole experience when your touring.

9. What have you done to prepare yourselves for the tour?

Dirk: We had rehearsed for about a week preparing the new material, playing the same stuff over the years we wanted to bring material we may have never played before or played so mixing so it all came together and I think it's going good for us. We're really excited about it.

10. You guys have toured a lot over the years but where hasn't Soilwork set foot in?

Dirk: We've never been to South America. We will be going to Mexico City, China, and India hopefully we will get to those places on this touring cycle.

11. What can the fans expect to see from you in the future?

Dirk: Just playing the new material, getting the new ideas out there, and playing shows that's what we're really focusing on getting everything stepped up.

12. Anything else you want to add for your fans?

Dirk: Go to our website to check us out if you don't know who we are. go check out the new album and we look forward to seeing you guys on the road.

Swedish melodic metal act, Soilwork, has officially announced the arrival among its ranks of guitarist and long-time friend, David Andersson (Night Flight Orchestra).

“We’re super stoked to have David with us,” said vocalist, Björn “Speed” Strid. “He’s a blast to be around and a kick ass guitarist. Plus, we’ve known him for so many years, from all the touring together, we just know he’s a perfect fit for us.”

Andersson has toured on and off with Soilwork since 2006, and most recently during the 2011 festival season in support of the band’s acclaimed eighth album, The Panic Broadcast.

Regarding the recently announced split with founding guitarist Peter Wichers, who first left the band in 2005 only to return four years later, Speed commented, “We just had to do this. It’s in the best interest of both him and us. Soilwork was born to be out there, tearing up the stage. Peter’s been unable to commit to the kind of touring we need to do and it’s time for us to move on. David’s played with us for so long, he’s really grown into the band. It feels natural, like a seamless transition. We’re thankful for everything Peter has contributed to Soilwork over the years and we sincerely wish him the best.”

Soilwork is currently in the process of writing new music for its ninth album, The Living Infinite. “We’re working our asses off to put this record together”, said Speed. “It’s gonna be fantastic, the songs and ideas are flowing like crazy! As far as the musical direction goes, there’s tons of crushing, high energy, in-your-face metal. Trust me, we’re not about to go mellow anytime soon!”

Stay tuned for more information on Soilwork and The Living Infinite.
