Wednesday, October 31, 2007

Swedish melodic metal titans, SOILWORK, recently broke into the Billboard Top 200 chart selling 5,000 copies of Sworn to a Great Divide their first week and coming in at #148. Lead singer, Björn “Speed” Strid, overcome with joy, took a break from touring in Europe with DARK TRANQUILITY, CALIBAN and SONIC SYNDICATE to type up this lengthy statement:

“I’m really psyched about getting into the Billboard charts at 148, which I’m told is our highest position ever in America! I’m very happy to see this and that people out there have stuck by us all this way. We´ll see you all on tour in November/December with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, LAMB OF GOD and DEVILDRIVER. Peace out!”
