Proudly, Soilwork announce their twelfth and latest masterpiece, Övergivenheten, which will be released on August 19 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Musically and lyrically evolved, Soilwork release their most complex and elaborate album to date which marks a new phase of their career. Not only due to the tremendous effort and time they put in but also the results on the album reflect years of development and experience as a band, which is ultimately provided on Övergivenheten for the fans to enjoy.

Soilwork's Björn Strid comments on their new longplayer: "The title track of this album just might be the pinnacle of this band’s musical journey - it sums up everything that we’ve ever been about and the sometimes risky musical venture that this band embarked on some 20 years ago. To me this song is as close to the heart as it gets."
