-David Andersson (SOILWORK)
Sweden is a true home of heavy music, with plenty of metal & rock bands hailing from the country; it's obvious that at least one band would make an appearance at Bloodstock Open Air this year. Playing the main stage today is heavy metal band SOILWORK, who easily have gathered a huge audience to play for. Metal Temple speaks to guitarist David Andersson about potential new music and touring.

It's a great lineup; we love playing the UK, as we always have a great show. We have an afternoon slot and last week we played a set after midnight, which was strange, as I'm a daytime person, not a night owl.
There are quite a few bands I'd like to watch but we're unfortunately heading to the airport after our set.
Actually we had started recording them during the sessions for "The Ride Majestic" but they didn't really fit with the songs on the rest of the album, so they were kind of half done. When we had the idea for the compilation album, we decided to get them finished to release on the album.
We have a few ideas, but we're still discussing what direction we are going to go for the next album, but the process has begun for it. Hopefully we can begin recording from next spring.
To be honest, these days, it's hard to choose what we get to play as a band our size, so we take offers; we would love to do a headline UK tour though, so hopefully we get some good offers after our next release.
Oh absolutely, if it's a good line up we are open for anything.
We'd love to do something with other Swedish bands that came up in the 90's, as that would be fun.
