Soilwork

A melodic death metal band from Helsingborg, Sweden. Founded in 1995 by vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid and guitarist Peter Wichers, the group initially went under moniker Inferior Breed, but changed name to Soilwork in 1996. Band's sound has evolved with every release, eventually reaching a commercial feel that enabled the band to emerge from the underground. 2003's "Figure Number Five" marked the band as one of the most successful Swedish metal bands along with In Flames.
