Each band member perceived the last two years differently in terms of boundaries and personal development.
However, concerning the album it has also been an inspiration. The pandemic influenced the band in more than one way. Not being able to do what every band loves to do, playing live for their fans, and being trapped in an inner circle, has turned out to be more difficult than expected. To build this experience and, above all, to give the listener the feeling of being right in the center of the band’s creative environment, balance was needed, something that the external circumstances made difficult, especially due to the current situation in the world. The album is intended to give the feeling of being in the middle of creating the energy and feeling the atmosphere. Therefore, among other things, acoustic elements have been incorporated into the songs, which help to make the sound experience as close and genuine as possible. The approach is to make the album sound as organic as possible. Musically, Övergivenheten is the continuation of the SOILWORK legacy of the last years. There was no hurry to finish the album, which meant on the other side that the band was able to reflect on their music and savor the process of creating the album. Recorded at Nordic Sound Lab in Skara, Sweden again with producer Thomas “Plec” Johansson, who also produced the last two projects, the album was written and recorded over three sessions between January and December 2021.
Unlike the albums before, the creation process of Övergivenheten was very lengthy and a representation of the emotional state of the guys from SOILWORK. SOILWORK is back with their twelfth studio album, which represents the band in their growth and their current phase of life, which is marked by a time period that probably no one on this planet will forget so quickly.
