Sweden-based melodic death metal experts SOILWORK will release their forthcoming 10th studio album, »The Ride Majestic«, worldwide on August 28, 2015 via Nuclear Blast Records. »The Ride Majestic«, will be available in various formats (CD, Vinyl, TS/CD Bundle)!
SOILWORK have revealed the first single from the album, »The Ride Majestic«, available for listening now via lyric video at Billboard.com.
Vocalist Bjorn “Speed” Strid discusses the meaning behind the track, “'The Ride Majestic' was one of the first songs we wrote for this album. The intro sets a certain melancholic mood and after that it's all pure melodic mayhem. There’s a very epic and anthemic feel to it, which suits the album title perfectly. The lyrics deal with the fear of dying and the art of remaining sane while you're still alive. Not wanting to miss a thing, wanting to embrace every moment, and being able to bring it all back on your dying day, with a snap of your fingers. It's also a tribute to the ones we've lost and the comfort of hoping that they will catch us when we fall, on the other side. We believe that, if there is an afterlife, this song would be the soundtrack to that journey. It deals with the acceptance of life and death and possibly everything between and beyond.”
