Soilwork is a band that has been through a lot. We don’t have to try and tidy things up by using clichés like personal
and/or musical differences. It has been hell. We have lost loved ones and significant others have fallen ill. We are not
young anymore, and our reality these days is the hellhounds on our tails, the ghosts in our subconscious and the coldness
of existence that starts eating at your soul the very day that you leave the womb.
We can no longer escape the fact thatwe’re vulnerable to the shortcomings of life itself. Verkligheten is the Swedish word for reality, the entity that we’re all trying to escape from. Verkligheten is our attempt to try and go somewhere else, to express all those things that are born in between hypnagogic states and frenzies of hyperrealism. 'Verkligheten' is the otherworldliness of Swedish suburban anxiety, accompanied by blastbeats and slide guitars.
