Swedish melodic metallers, SOILWORK, recently broke into the Billboard Top 200 chart selling an impressive 5,000 copies of Sworn To A Great Divide their first week and coming in at #148. Lead singer, Björn “Speed” Strid, took a moment from his hectic touring schedule in Europe with DARK TRANQUILITY, CALIBAN and SONIC SYNDICATE to express his joy over the news: “I’m really psyched about getting into the Billboard charts at 148, which I’m told is our highest position ever in America!
