  • :grammarnazi:

  • Too much metal for one hand.

  • who knew 240p rocks that much? xD

  • @Ruby7834 That's weird actually, because it was in 360p not long ago. Fucking YouTube ruining everything ;( Now it's in shitty mono sound.

  • Swedens BEST BAND EVER!

  • one of the bands to get me into metal scene. such an awesome voice for metal.

  • Youtube has this cool feature that actually lets me know Soilwork is on tour. Too bad this particular US tour was cancelled due to injury or whatever.

  • knowing the genres is good for your metal culture:) nothing else(not for bashing for sure)

  • Oh Soilwork...

    You will never let me down

  • WHAT. GENRE. IS. THIS BAND. i mean... the 1st 2 albums were like death metal... then it started gettin like slightly melodic death metal... AND NOW THIS SONG ALMOST HAS A METALCORE INTRO THAT TOTALLY KICKS ASS.... god i love this band!!! but... what genre are they considered?!!?? everythings so mixed.... I love it. :) maybe this is the only band out there that can combine genres....

  • @MrBogeytime Who cares. It's Metal. But they've been classified as Melodic Death Metal all along. I'd say they could still be classified as that after hearing The Panic Broadcast.

  • @MrBogeytime "Soilwork" was one of the founding Gothenburg Melodic Death bands, but rarely ever are considered that now. They are more known for starting the Melo-Death movement. Melo-Death is the same as Melodic Death but has both singing and screaming, but isn't Metalcore either. Though many metal rookies (6yrs or less listening to MDM) use Melo-Death and Melodic Death interchangeably, its not true. SW is Melo-Death & used to be Melodic Death with the typical Gothenburg sound.

  • @TheARDENWOOD I've NEVER heard the term Melo-death..it's called Melodeath, and it's an ABBREVIATION of melodic death metal, which means they mean the same things, they are synonyms..Soilwork was melodic death metal, but they did not start it at all, ATG/IF/DT did. Nowadays I don't know what Soilwork are, only retards spend this much time categorizing this or that, who the fuck cares really? All I know is that they kick ass, and that you are wrong. Have a nice day.

  • @Krofius ATG/IF/DT are the 3 main bands most people consider the founders of Melodic Death especially when talking about the "Gothenburg Sound". However for most MDM Veterans, we consider SW as a founder as well. For a long time many IF considered SW a rip off of IF. Then they changed their sound and branched off and started singing creating Melo-Death. You NEVER heard of it because you are pretty new to the genre. SW is a kick ass band, no argument there.

  • @TheARDENWOOD No, I'm not new to the genre at all. SW was to late to be a founder, even Arch Enemy released their debut in 1996.

  • @Krofius The name "Melodic Death Metal" didn't even exist until the late 90's. For nearly a decade we just called it "Gothenburg Metal". The name changed when bands with similar sounds started coming from other countries other than Sweden. By then Soilwork had already changed their sound which set them apart from their friends IF. When bands started copying SW sound the term Melo-Death came around to seperate bands that have screaming and singing without being Metalcore.

  • @Krofius I know you have only been listening to this music for 6yrs or less. Otherwise you would know what I'm talking about.

  • @TheARDENWOOD Well, stupid term is stupid, as you abbreviate melodic death metal melodeath it makes zero sense that there would be a separate ''genre'', but it's retarded, you can't call ONE band ''Melo-Death'', not enough for it to be a whole new genre lol.

  • @Krofius Its only stupid because you haven't heard it before & offended because someone else knows something you don't. SW is very different from your typical Melodic Death band and SW isn't the only one with that sound. Countless bands sound like SW. Because bands like SW sound so different but aren't Metalcore we needed a different name to put these bands into. A lot of people like DT, Arch Enemy, and ATG but don't like bands that sound like SW.

  • @TheARDENWOOD I did not get offended lol. I said the term is fucking retarded because it has the same name as the way you abbreviate Melodic Death Metal, which gives it both synonymous meaning, AND a new term. But I don't care to argue about this shit anymore, it is and will always be a retarded term.

  • @TheARDENWOOD wtf? Melodeath and Melodic Death Metal are EXACTLY the same thing...what makes you think they're different? Melodeath is just Melodic Death Metal shortened, tard

    and who honestly gives a fuck what genre it is? it kicks ass

  • Soilwork FTW!!!

  • makes music worth listening to! every bit of melodic metal!

  • man i love soilwork, use all their songs when i work out soo much drive!!!!!

  • hah queer, this is a good song tho

  • KICK FUCKING ASS begin of the drums wish it was thrue a big part of the song aswell tbh. Soilwork ftw =D

  • Yeah, but Soilwork has some badass guitar in Chainheart Machine too IMO.

  • We're all sworn to a great divide...

  • lol why?

  • Finally, a band which makes me proud to live in Sweden. In Flames failed me tbh...

  • Was amazing... till Sense of purpose... Just makes me live in the IF past. Sense of Purpose wasn't bad... just, compared to their former... makes it atrocious.

  • Dude what about Meshuggah and Opeth ? You should be fucking proud :P

  • don't know how a metalhead like myself could not have found this band sooner. But it doesn't matter now. I am a Soilworker for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!

  • Reminds me of In Flames..

  • they are from the same town, in sweeden. they haw been in each others music videoes. they play the same musical genre. :P

  • Nah they aren't from the same town mate :)

    In Flames = Gothenburg

    Soilwork = Helsingborg

  • But they both started out as Swedish Melodic Metal. The Gothenburg sound.

  • Swedish Melodic Death Metal* You mean :)

    But they didn't have similar riffs at all.

  • Yeah, IF=Pioneers of it. I do believe. Or, part of the first 3. Them and then Jespers original band and uhh... Anders' original band too. didnt like either to much... But IF and Soilwork are my two favorites of All time. Till IFs new album. Wasn't terrible, just wasnt Anything like Soundtrack to your Escape or Reroute or Clayman... or Jester Race, or you get the point. Minus lunar strain.. not a fan. To each his own i suppose.

  • @Krofius that's true but the scene kind of took off in Gothenburg, although Soilwork started off a lot later than most NWSDM bands did, I guess they didn't have to be based out of Gothenburg

  • @vafhel

    in flames and dark tranquillity are from the same town. and they even switched the singers at some point xD.

  • @lordtrabant They are from the same town yes, but they never switched singers. Anders left dark tranquillity in 1993, and Jesper (creator of in flames) needed a stand-in singer, and Mikael sung on Lunar Strain from 1994, he was never in the band, only a session member.

  • they're both sweden based "melodic deathmetal bands" no surprise there...

  • Their chorus' are simply amazing, great songwriters and players without a doubt!!

  • Badass song.

  • Soilwork just RULZ.

  • Is there any bad song by soilwork?...

    NO!

  • no way dude can't happen

  • Their entire steelbath suicide album sucks aside from that nope

  • @Tradix1800 Yeah, the one that crashes my MP3 player XD

    Believe, The Chainheart crashes it XDXD LOL To much to handle for Creative... They probably didn't count on god like metal.

  • @Tradix1800 just 1... but thats the only 1 /watch?v=x60DdKy1GuY

  • one of, if not my favorite bands, this music quality isnt that great :-\ better than some other ones tho, thanks for posting :)

  • ;O it's as good as it can get on youtube atleast since it's an old upload, HD didn't exist only HQ

  • wow is this good

  • Soilwork swedish awesome

  • these lyrics are just amazing... i cant even express how much credit soilwork deserves.

    on the downside i wish nuclear blast didnt fuck with their recording equipment cuz all the melodeth/post hardcore bands have lost alot of bass and cranked the gain so the stuff sounds more like that intro... it depresses me

  • by the balance, this song reminds me of The Longest Journey :D

  • You were cool... until you wrote something such stupid

  • dom e svenskar ( they are swedish ) :D

  • soilwork OWNES!!!!!

  • i LOVE this band!!! the chorus is always amazing X3

  • you're so right man^^

  • I are kill you.. You haven't understood the greatness then. Listen to.. Distortion Sleep, Bastard Chain, As the sleeper awakes ETC!

  • don't like soilwork at all :P

    please don't kill me :P

  • FU ! :P

  • if you dont like them dont comment on them then loser :s

  • pie

  • <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • This is brutal.... I like it!

  • This album is a great comeback from Stabbing the Drama. Didn't like that album.

  • they started out as a deathmetal band and if you like these guys checkout Five Finger Death Punch

  • is that really the keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • Who ever posts on here trashing other bands or arguing who is better fails at life.

  • Finally, SOMEONE recognizes this truth!

  • Win!

  • huh?? BFMV aren't posers atall- they're just not so heavy as soilwork...

  • TEEK4Y, Yes they are.

  • Comment removed

  • children of bodom wins ^^

  • i agree :)

  • once you listen to a few of soilworks songs and you like them and you start liking another band you will probably listen to soilwork again

  • True

  • i could listen to soilwork forever. they never get old. i have to agree with archnemesis. they fucking blow my left nut tbh. ^ - ^

  • bullet for my whingingtime

    fucking shit band. soilwork rapes all

  • yeah BFMV are just posers.they really really suck

  • Love this Metalcore(?) shit =]!

  • It is melodeath not metalcore

  • Love this Melodeath(!) shit =]?

  • Soilwork ain't Metal Core, tards... It's Melodic Death Metal and Alternative Metal.

  • i have the tool shirt of the guy in the middle. it has a circle of eyes on tha bak lol

  • wow

    very good band!

    much more then the ather in this core

  • This is a soilwork video not a fucking bullet video.

  • Yep indeed, discussion ended: BFMV is pure fucking Metalcore. Not good metalcore either ;o

  • BFMV = Emo metal

  • I agree, don't compare them with soilwork

  • No disrespect to you BFMW fans but don't call them Melo Death please -_- They are pure metalcore. Maybe a bit trashy but metalcore. Not anywhere close to melo death.

  • bfmv is a good band...there's a big difference between this band and them but they are both good...depending on how wide your choice of metal is is how you'll like the bands your self...you can't just go by what everyone else says to chose the music you will like

  • killridemaster BFMV is labeled as metalcore. Never listenened to Unearth so can't give an opinion about that,

  • Discussions on what kind of genre Soilwork is are quite pointless... The way I see it, they just make some goddamn good fuckin' music. Every album they make is different from the next, and everyone should at least be able to appreciate one of them. I think that if you can't appreciate their later albums, than you don't know how to listen/appreciate Soilwork. Artists change, life goes on, live with it. I like all their albums, I don't care what any hater or "Tro0 Metal fan" says. Soilwork forever

  • your right about that. Some bands dont change for the better and you dont like them. So? Instead of hating on them stop listening to them or listen to the older or newer stuff you like from them dont flame them.

  • Yeah. That's the way I do it for example. I like only the three first albums and I'm very happy.

  • Agree!

  • sorry to bust your bubble there Krofius... but Unearth is also under the label of Metal-Core and they are not "crappy." and bullet for my valentine is hardly metal core.

  • Except for BFMV is nothing BUT metal-core.

    its just that BFMV is more CORE than METAL...whereas Unearth is more METAL than CORE...

    and to settle the whole "BFMV is Melodic Death metal"

    BFMV has NO ties whatsoever with Melo. Death...and there absolutely no proof...

    you CANT have hardcore pussy screams with clean vocals that sound like little girls whining, mix it with thrashy, happy ass guitar, and punk beats on drums, and call it melodic death metal...sorry, it just doesnt fly kids...

  • Didnt know that TheMostCleverName, of what i've heard they've been labeled as Melodic Death Metal from the very first beginning ;P

  • this isnt like their usuall stuff i like it!!=)

  • its swedish melodic death metal...

    but their original sound was considered deathcore

  • guys...bands need to progress..cant stay all the same...to tell you the truth i didnt like so much the new album,but an album in the shadow of the previous ones would be very bad.....what we are doing now is w8in for their new release....at 2009 or 2010

  • TheLiberator what is it that you don't like? The Vocal style? The music is almost the same. You can't be doing the same thing over and over again you need to progress, and that is exactly what In Flames has done, and succeeded aswell.

    I mean just listen to Eraser from the new album f.e.

    There is lots of killer guitars especially in Come Clarity. but you are free to not like them anymore i don't care tbh. I still like them. Tho i do agree they where beter before at Whoracle but they still kickass

  • I do not agree with you TheLiberator. And i'm sure as hell not the only one. You are a so called ''Old Fan'' and your opinions doesn't matter at all to me.

    Every album for them have been an experiment unless you knew.. Even Colony was. What has changed is his vocal style mostly, Before colony, he did not have an correct vocal style which you can hear in jester race album. But still i think they are as good now as they were from the beginning, Only album i dislike is Lunar Strain cause of vocals

  • Metalcore? NO way retard. Metalcore =Bullet for my valentine,Caliban etc crappy bands. Would rather call it some kind of Melodic Metal, i still think this counts as Melo Death though.

  • this is swedesh death metal

  • Yeah, this is more like Metalcore.

  • this isnt death metal

  • tung

  • death metal makes me happy!

  • Nah me. Some Death Metal makes me wanna break stuff...

    Melodic Death Metal makes me happy!*

  • Nah me. Some melodic metal push me to drink alcohol...

    Hardcore metal and Loud breakdown makes me happy.

    Girls too.

  • everyone likes death metal =D it soothes the soul

  • Uh, nah. Death Metal is pretty overrated these days. Scream, scream, scream (something everyone can do) and growl, growl, growl (something most dogs try to do, but fail).

    Melodic Death Metal is special because the vocals are meant to be heard and since it's clearer with pieces of clean vocals and chorus, it's the best...

  • ok then melodic death metal soothes the soul

  • Figure Number Five is my favourite album, followed closely by Natural Born Chaos... Sworn To A Great Divide is the following. They are always great, but I think In Flames are the best.

  • love this song

  • Dirk Verbeuren = drom god & born in Belgium 5 km from my place! ö

    Soilwork are awesome, but somehow i don't like their choruses :(

  • well, thats your opinion. me myself like all of Soilwork, even their choruses

  • we need songs like this, in flames, and children of bodom on guitar hero/rock band! i want to pretend im a nordic rock god too! :(

  • well, Take This Life is on guitar hero 3:O

  • Hah, I guess, if you like what In Flames has become during this decade. Clayman was alright, but I feel that marked the end of them.

    Anything Whoracle and before is more worthwhile than the 00's albums for all those Fisher Price games.

  • possibly the most fun riff to play on guitar ever!

  • rejection role <3

  • this is the first time i ever heard this band and i already think they're awesome.

  • Listen to Millionflame.

  • This is genious.

  • love how hes wearing a tool shirt

  • man i love this song. great guitar.

  • Damn what a Rythm xD...

    This band is godlike !!

    an the drummer is Jesus !!

  • what tempo is thsi song

  • WOW, DAMN !!!

    its 2 nice to be made by human hands^^

  • The greatest successful experiment done in the music's lifetime will have to be combining clean vocals and growl and screams! It's simply the key to connect a chain between all kinds of music styles. In Disarmonia Mundi it's all done digitally, and it's also very techno alike just as well as Melodic Death Metal!

  • Just heard this song on satellite radio and i gotta admit it..it's good!! ^_^

  • amen krofius haha

  • i don't like the screaming but the rest is good

  • this whole song rocks

  • slipknot means slip- knocked which means slip= underwear in french... and knocked what a name and actually the sound and look like my slip after cumming in it hahaha

  • rofl slipknot is a special knot dude, has nothing to do with frencht

  • Both Soilwork AND In Flames rule. Both are fantastic examples of what good metal should sound like.

  • Okay guys. We all know Slipknot sucks stop the arguing. This video is about Soilwork not Slipknot?!?! So if someone mentiones slipknot i'll have it removed, But feel free to mention In Flames, wintersun etc bands that actually makes good music.

  • exactly dude

  • In Flames rule...and this is a fucking great.

  • i think there both just as good

  • Tooooooool^^

  • i wouldnt even have a problem with Slipknot musically if it wasnt for their RETARDED, IGNORANT fans who think that Slipknot is better than every other band in existence.

  • yeah theres many like that but i am not one of them

  • why does some fag have to mention slipknot for every song of soilworks posted on youtube?

  • I know man...fucking losers.

  • sup, im'a pop in this covo real fast and say that slipknot can suck mah balls.

    peace *soilwork is king*

  • i have to agree that slipknot sucks

  • shut up with your poser ass, Slipknot is garbage...

  • this song is good

  • They actually sound something similar to Demon Hunter but more bad ass.

  • Soilwork and slipknot are both good gtfo.

  • slipknot suckass

    soilwork rules

  • FUCK YOU MAN, much respect to both bands but you dont have to be a lil fuckin bitch hating on slipknot.

  • i agree

  • wooohoo soilwork 4 life :)

    they rocks

  • how can you compare these guys to slipknot???

    these guys at least have an original sound

  • hell yeah they mention master of puppets

  • what are all these slipknot faggots doing here? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE FAGS!

    Anyways, I like old Soilwork usually more than the new, but I love this song.

  • That's what I just said!

  • slipknot sucks, gtfo newfags

  • better than slipknot anyways. it´s simply better to listen to.

    <33

  • i agree.. Easier on the ears :)

  • They are a lot more melodic than Slipknot...
