Soilwork React To Dirk Verbeuren Joining Megadeth: Soilwork News

On Wednesday Soilwork React To Dirk Verbeuren Joining Megadeth was a top story. Here is the recap: Soilwork have reacted to the news that their now former member Dirk Verbeuren has been recruited to take over drumming duties in Megadeth on a full-time basis.

Frontman Bjorn Strid had the following to say about his former Soilwork bandmate joining Megadeth, "I just want to take the time to wish Dirk good luck on this new venture and thank him for 12 great years together. Together we have created a beast of a band and have pushed the limits musically further than we ever could have imagined."

Strid also addressed the future of his band: "In the recent years Soilwork have found new ways of expressing ourselves and as much as of a cliche it is, I strongly believe that this is very much of a new era for us and that we still have so much left to say, whether it being with or without Dirk.

"This band has grown to be quite a metal collective and an institution that paves the way creatively and we hope that you, the fans, can feel the presence and the heart in our music still to this day. Believe me, it's there. I can assure that you will forever get 100% Soilwork, as long as we release albums.

"We aim to surprise ourselves and the listeners by constantly developing our sound and songwriting, something I believe we have succeeded in doing and yet remained true to our roots. That is something to be proud of and we are. We appreciate all our loyal fans and are excited that so many of you share our musical vision." - Read more here.
