Natural Born Chaos

Natural Born Chaos is a work on which SOILWORK bound the sharp guitar of melodic death metal to a more modern, tight rhythmic feel. Keeping speed, the songs also gain catchy hooks and electronic textures, and the sound image greatly advances. Produced by the master Devin Townsend, the sound became more powerful and refined. On “Follow the Hollow,” “Natural Born Chaos,” “Mercury Shadow” and “The Bringer,” aggression and ordered production balance splendidly. Songs like “As We Speak” and “Black Star Deceiver” breathe the band’s full melodic sense too. Keeping the coldness of Nordic metal while gaining a big 2000s-style drive, it is a full record counted among the band’s signature works.
