Verkligheten translates to "reality," per Google Translate

song is ok, definitely not Spectrum of Eternity-tier, but I'm still psyched for new Soilwork

This feels like a step down from Living Infinite and Ride Majestic but here's hoping that hot streak isn't broken

gotta love the black metal influences they put into this, not to mention there seems to be more emphasis on the keys this time around which is something they said they would be doing on this record

As a swede, I can confirm that the album title simply translates to "Reality". Song is actually great, haven't listened to these guys in years, but they're still killing it.

He was just the drummer though, not like it matters that much who it is. I might sound ignorant, but in a genre like this, I don't think the drumming is a big deal

Everything by this band is pretty good, except for STAGD. Also, FNF and STD are pretty selloutish and radio friendly, but they've been playing blast beats like there's no tomorrow so they visibly demonstrate how it's possible to rebound from mediocrity. Unlike In Flames, lol

Mallcore Soilwork was better than mallcore In Flames anyway.

Some of Soilwork's "sellout" stuff is still good honestly. I was always a fan of STD even if it was different/not as good as what came before it.

Chainheart machine is a muddled aggressive mess with a few good ideas. A Predators Portrait on the other hand is a badass melodeath masterpiece

Yeah that's just ridiculous. The Chainheart Machine is anything but a "muddled aggressive mess with a few good ideas". It's every bit as good as A Predator's Portrait. I'd give a slight edge to the latter just because it was the first Soilwork I heard but yeah, Chainheart slays.

And I'd definitely take any of Soilwork's weaker albums over post-Clayman In Flames. Plus Strid just has way better vocals.

Agreed. Chainheart Machine is certainly up there with last two for me. Its aggressive nature makes it awesome
