Swedish melodic metal maestros, Soilwork, are currently in the studio with producer Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth, Bloodbath) recording the follow-up to their 2010 release The Panic Broadcast.

The Soilworkers have been toiling away and burning many a midnight oil to bring us not just one CD of amazing music, but two! That’s right, Soilwork’s upcoming album 'The Living Infinite' will be a double album!

Commented vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid:

"So here's the scoop. Me and the boys have been waiting to share this for quite some time now: The Living Infinite will be a double album! A REAL double album, in the true sense of the word, which means no fillers and no left-overs.

I've been wanting to do this for a while and I proposed the idea to the rest of the guys in the band, during our festival tour last summer. Everybody liked the title The Living Infiniteand also the idea of working towards the goal of releasing a double album. David Andersson was already playing with us last summer, so he has also been a part of this goal from the start. I feel very excited and proud that we've managed to find the inspiration and dedication it takes to create somewhat of a conceptual double album, especially since it's dealing with a lot of existential questions.

We would also like to reveal a brand new band shot by Hannah Verbeuren Photography. We are currently hard at work in the studio, putting this beast on tape. Things are sounding incredibly good so far. So excited about this and can't wait to share the awesomeness with you all!”

The Living Infinite, will also mark the recording debut of long-time touring guitarist David Andersson (Night Flight Orchestra).
