Swedish MMDMetaler SOILWORK have entered Nordic Sound Lab studios in Skara, Sweden to begin recording their eleventh album. The follow-up to 2015's "The Ride Majestic" is tentatively due later this year via Nuclear Blast Records.

"The Ride Majestic" was SOILWORK's last album to feature longtime drummer Dirk Verbeuren, who left the band in July 2016 to join MEGADETH.

In 2016, SOILWORK released a special collection of rarities titled "Death Resonance" via Nuclear Blast.

Verbeuren joined MEGADETH at the recommendation of LAMB OF GOD's Chris Adler who played on MEGADETH's "Dystopia" album.

Verbeuren was replaced in SOILWORK by Bastian Thusgaard of THE ARCANE ORDER.
