Swedish metallers SOILWORK are back with a new single, “Spirit Of No Return”, along with a music video. The track marks a significant milestone in the band’s evolution, with longtime live guitarist Simon Johansson recently officially joining the ranks of the band.

Watch “Spirit Of No Return” below.

SOILWORK frontman Björn “Speed” Strid comments on the song: “‘Spirit Of No Return’ is a fierce reminder of the past, but also an introduction of the new SOILWORK era, where we’ve taken the thrashier early days and dressed it in a new heavier suit. Lyrics are dealing with the urge of belonging and fitting in — and how it in the end can be disastrous as you abandon your true self.” In October the band will embark on their biggest tour adventure yet, supporting IN FLAMES and ARCH ENEMY on a European arena tour. SOILWORK‘s high-class creative consistency, which they have been delivering solidly throughout their career, is the virtue that probably best defines them. Founded at the end of 1995, SOILWORK released their debut album “Steelbath Suicide” in 1998, garnering a great early response. By 2001 SOILWORK had joined Nuclear Blast, and by 2003 they already had five records under their belt. Continuing their tradition of high-quality musical output, 2022 saw their twelfth studio album “Övergivenheten”, which represents the band in their growth and their current phase of life — marked by a time that probably no one on this planet will forget so quickly. SOILWORK is: Björn “Speed” Strid – vocals Simon Johansson – guitars Sven Karlsson – keyboards Sylvain Coudret – guitars Bastian Thusgaard – drums Rasmus Ehrnborn – bass
