Soilwork Endorsed By NASCAR Racer, Speed Checks In

Soilwork vocalist Speed checks in with a less than speedy (I couldn't resist) report on the last few months recording in Vancouver with Devin Townsend:

4/22
"It's Speed.. I'm reporting to you from the lovely town of Vancouver where I'm currently being held prisoner in Mr.Devin Townsend's dungeon. The vocal recording is going great! It feels really good teaming up once again with Devin, 5 years have passed since we worked together on the Natural Born Chaos album, can't believe it..

Well, he sure knows how to get the best out of my voice. He really knows what buttons to push to bring my personality to the forefront, even though he smells like ass and haven't showered since i arrived.
We're more than halfway through the album after 8 days of work and I truly feel it's my best performance ever.

He definately knows how singers feel, being stucked in a vocal booth for 2 weeks screaming their lungs out, so he has provided me with an amp and a couple of guitars that i can jam with during breaks, awesome..i thank him for that.. We'll keep you updated the coming days.."

5/5
"I´m back in Sweden now after finishing the vocals. I had a blast recording the vox with Devin, even though i pulled three muscles on the side of my torso from all the singing..crazy! Well, I tell you, i'm very pleased with the result! Thanx a bunch Dev for a good time in Vancouver!

In order to get some rest, i went to Phoenix before heading back home.
I also had the chance to go to Tucson and watch Nascar. My dear friend and Soilwork fan Stormin' Ron Norman was racing and won that night, what a blast! He has one big Soilwork sticker on both sides of his car, so i can proudly announce the official Soilwork Mobile! Check out the pics...

We'll be back shortly...

Peace, Speed"

The pics he talks about are posted here. He has followed up with some promising news on the upcoming video which will be for the song "Exile". The video recording will take place in Gothenburg. More to come...
