SOILWORK release new single ‘Spirit of No Return’ EU/UK tour with In Flames & Arch Enemy begins this week
2nd October 2024Swedish melodic death metal legends SOILWORK are back with a brand new single, ‘Spirit of No Return,’ along with a powerful and visually striking music video. The track marks a significant milestone in the band’s evolution, with long-time live guitarist Simon Johansson recently officially joining the ranks of the band.
Listen to ‘Spirit of No Return’ here: https://soilwork.bfan.link/spirit-of-no-return‘Spirit of No Return’ showcases SOILWORK’s signature blend of frenzied intensity, soaring melodies, epic arrangements, and a touch of progressive complexity – traits that have cemented their reputation over the last three decades. Johansson’s contribution to the song’s writing channels the band’s essence while bringing fresh energy to their unmistakable sound.
The video is equally captivating, featuring a stunning sequence where the iconic SOILWORK symbol is reforged, representing the band’s resurgence and renewed strength. This visual narrative perfectly complements the song’s theme of perseverance and transformation.
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.”
The new single comes ahead of the band’s huge UK and EU tour with In Flames and Arch Enemy. UK dates as follows:
03.10. UK Glasgow – Academy
04.10. UK Manchester – Manchester Academy
05.10. UK Birmingham – O2 Academy
06.10. UK London – Hammersmith Apollo
