Soilwork is a Swedish melodic death metal band formed in 1995 in Helsingborg.

Formed in 1995 in Helsingborg, Sweden; associated with the Swedish melodic death metal scene.

DeBaser reviews trace Soilwork's journey from 90s Swedish death roots toward more melodic, accessible sounds. Critics praise moments of songwriting growth and experimentation while noting inconsistencies and commercial leanings. Several albums (A Predator's Portrait, Stabbing the Drama, The Living Infinite) stand out for different reasons.

For:Fans of melodic death metal and readers interested in Soilwork's musical evolution.

 A Predator's Portrait is a concept album, which recounts the story of a serial killer, whose distorted mind is musically portrayed with the typical violence of the Swedish thrash death combo, which although still anchored to their early style, manages to create evocative moments thanks to a greater dosage of melody, robust use of keyboards, and a nod towards progressive sounds.

 Ultimately, we are facing a record made with passion but also with great attention to the pursuit of commercial success (which does not always have negative and betraying connotations), as the leader "Speed" Strid has expressed more than once in no uncertain terms in his latest interviews published in the specialist press.

 Recording and composing a double album isn’t something just anyone can do - no matter the musical genre - but the flip side of this release’s coin immediately reveals a big mistake... the inconsistency!
