According to TAATM Press, SOILWORK lead singer, Bjorn Strid, has become a pioneer in the melodic death metal genre with intense and powerful vocals. For the first half of 2014, Strid is offering bands the opportunity to book him for guest/session appearances for recordings. From a single song to a full album, Strid will be lending his vocals and talents to the metal community.
No stranger to working outside of the SOILWORK realm, Strid has had a multitude of vocal appearances with other bands such as DISARMONIA MUNDI, DEMON HUNTER, I LEGION, KAMELOT, and TERROR 2000.
Any bands or artists who are interested in working together with Strid can contact him at speed.soilwork@hotmail.com

Nuclear Blast Records reports that the Swedish visionary metallers SOILWORK have announced a special show to take place at Circus in Helsinki, Finnland on Friday, March 21.
The show will be recorded for a future DVD release and thus be a special night in the history of the pioneering band. The repertoire is set to be career spanning, special guest appearances to be made as well as some not to be unveiled surprises to come up.
The choice where to record the first ever SOILWORK audiovisual live document was an easy one since Helsinki has always been a second home to the band. The venue itself, Circus, was just the right one to offer a full on SOILWORK show. Expect great things to happen.
The show will mark SOILWORK’s only scandinavian show in spring 2014 and will be produced by Jouni Markkanen and directed by Ville Lipiäinen who also shot the most recent NIGHTWISH DVD release »Showtime, Storytime«.
Tickets for this special show will go on sale on Wednesday, December 18, 2013.
SOILWORK have been heavily touring all throughout 2013 in support of their current output, »The Living Infinite«, the first double album in the history of melodic death metal. When released in March, the album received raving reviews from all over the world and hit the charts in several countries:
#02 Sweden Rock/Metal Charts
