His knack for easily transitioning between shouting in the verses to singing gracefully in the choruses is quite distinguishable, as Soilwork have been doing this for a while, and it’s never been more upfront than it is here. ![]() He pretty much carries the rest of the band on his vocal chords, giving his best effort of any Soilwork output and making this album what it is. ![]() Stabbing the Drama is great for people new to the wonderful world of metal, but it leaves much to be desired among those who look for things that are even vaguely challenging or memorable.Įasily the best aspect of Stabbing the Drama is the vocal performance of Bjorn “Speed” Strid. There’s nothing wrong with any of that, mind you, but there’s not a whole lot right with it, either…and that’s not even taking into account what kind of stuff this band used to play.
