US melodic death metal two piece THE NEOLOGIST has just announced that in addition to recording their sophomore album The Promise of Eternal Separation, they will also be recording an entire SOILWORK tribute album. To get the party started, they will be having a guest drummer who is well known throughout the metal community for their first release from the album, “Shadowchild”. The mystery drummer has not been revealed yet, but stay posted for the official announcement.

THE NEOLOGIST is coming off the release of their debut album The 26 Letters of Your Universe which the band has been giving away for free via their Bandcamp site (http://theneologist.bandcamp.com). Fans can also download all of their covers on their album IN FLAMES We Trust: Volume I which is also on the Bandcamp site. The follow up album, The Promise of Eternal Separation, is set to be released in early 2012, and just like their first album, the band is giving away the entire album for free. A sampler of the album can be heard on their YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtppE-7P7jk&list=UUqCualetdCQK2eLxMyEbgKw&feature=plcp)

In addition, THE NEOLOGIST wants to engage fans and let them choose which SOILWORK songs they will cover on the new album. You can leave a message on their website with your thoughts on which songs they should cover (www.theneologist.net).
