Wibom replaces longtime band member Ola Flink, who has amicably left the group to focus on other endeavors. Wibom has been a personal friend of the band for many years and has previously toured with SOILWORK as a guitar tech and lighting designer. Wibom made his live debut withSOILWORK in Stockholm on April 30th.<\/p>\n SOILWORK vocalist Bjorn \u201cSpeed\u201d Strid states, \u201cWe all sooner or later come to a crossroad in our lives, when our focus of being fueled by the past, is just as strong as our visions of the future and we have to make that incredibly hard decision. Where do I go now? Flink will forever be a symbol for SOILWORKand of all we were and still are about. That being said, we all could sense that he eventually would come to the above mentioned crossroad. He understandably and respectfully chose to step down.<\/p>\n So, where do WE go now? Let me introduce you to one of the finest and most stand up people I know: Markus Wibom. He’s been a long-time friend and is an overall multi-instrumental amazing musician. He’s been with us before, on past world tours. He’s also an amazing character and I couldn’t think of a better person to fill Flink’s shoes, which indeed are very big\u2026 literally (Markus\u2019 shoe size is actually even bigger, if anybody wants to know). Anyway, as much as I will miss Flink, I’m just as excited to tour the world with one of my absolute best friends. Thank you Flink, you will forever rule. Thank you, Markus, for taking this on. I know you will blow people’s minds, once the world tour of The Ride Majesticcommences. Please give Markus a very warm welcome everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n Wibom adds, \u201cIt’s a great honor and a true pleasure to play with such skilled musicians and amazing people! It’s going to be awesome to share the stage with those guys after all these years on the road together, and with the new record coming up – it absolutely kills!\u201d<\/p>\n Catch Wibom out on tour with SOILWORK on their upcoming European headline tour, dubbed the \u201cThe Tour Majestic\u201d, with support from Hatesphere. The European dates will follow SOILWORK\u2019s upcoming U.S. tour with Soulfly, Decapitated, and Shattered Sun, in addition to several European summer festival dates coming up soon.<\/p>\n SOILWORK is also pleased to announce that they have already been confirmed for next year\u2019s Bangalore Open Air Festival in Bangalore, India. The band will perform on July 9, 2016.

Following two highly acclaimed albums Steel Bath Suicide (1998) and The Chainheart Machine (1999) on Listenable Records,SOILWORK joined the Nuclear Blast roster in 2001. The band\u2019s unique blend of melodic metal developed at a staggering rate as they released a new bombshell each year; touring aggressively throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Some of the highlights included Ozzfest alongside headliners BLACK SABBATH and IRON MAIDEN and an arena tour with LAMB OF GOD and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Their latest release, The Living Infinite, is the first double album in melodic death metal history! Adventurous yet true to the band\u2019s identity, this Jens Bogren-produced (OPETH, AMON AMARTH), twenty-song powerhouse is the ultimate proof that SOILWORK are true masters of their art and as relevant as ever!<\/p>\n Visit SOILWORK online at www.soilwork.net<\/a>.
