GET A KINDA SNEAK PEAK AT A NEW SOILWORK SONG

Thursday, February 25th, 2010 at 9:45am by

Dirk Verbeuren is a fucking MONSTER behind the kit. Dude could just be playing 1/8th notes on the hi-hat and nothing else, and he’s have more finesse and style than 99% of drummers in metal today who can out-blast each other into oblivion. Just sayin’.

Check out Verbeuren in this video (first posted on Blabbermouth) of the recording sessions for The Panic Broadcast, Soilwork’s forthcoming album. As if watching this guy pound away at the kit weren’t enough, we get the added bonus of (sort of) getting to hear the rest of the music, sans-vocals, of a new Soilwork track. We even get a guitar solo, presumably played by Peter Wichers. This video gives great reason to be hopeful that the new Soilwork record will be as good as we hope it will be.

    Awesome. I’d been avoiding the Soilwork studio videos(not sure why), but I couldn’t help but watch this. Looking forward to this album quite a bit.

    Beast. Soilwork is all need in my fucking life.

    And I see a post about PTH after this one, so the day starts pretty well here at MS…

    Dirk is probably the best drummer in metal…not only does he have crazy chops he’s got amazing groove too.

  • Fufkin

    Sounds very promising!

  • SourDeez

    Does anyone else think Henry Ranta didn’t get nearly enough credit for his kickass drum performance on A Predator’s Portrait?

    • Zoker

      Yeah I think he’s been important for the band, he played for the first three albums, was a great drummer himself and surely had a role in the change of sound of the band but, y’know, they replaced him with this guy…

      • Zoker

        Sorry.. five albums.. I criminally tend to exclude Steelbath Suicide and TCM…

        • derek

          Yeah Ranta was AMAZING on Chainheart, I thought i read somewhere that he did the drums for that album with like a week to work with

  • Kuranes

    Nice to see microphones on a drum kit instead of triggers.

  • Horeshine

    Sounds cool! I think this will be a good’n! Anything involving Peter Wichers is bound to be awesome

    I likes me some Soilwork! Sounds like this is going to be good!

    I’m more a fan of Henry Ranta’s work with the band, but Dirk Verbueren’s no slouch at all. The music was sounding pretty good too, so I’m hopeful for the next album. They kind of lost me with Stabbing the Drama and Sworn to a Great Divide didn’t do much for me either.

    As long as wichers is involved, the songs are gonna be at least average. Never a bad one from him.
