Soilwork recently enlisted a new session guitarist ? Sylvain Coudret of the French metal band Scarve (which also features in its ranks Soilwork drummer Dirk Verbeuren).
Back in February 2008, Soilwork parted ways with guitarist Ola Frenning due to Ola's "resistance to the demands of the road."
Capital Chaos has posted video footage of Soilwork performing on March 31, 2008 at The Boardwalk in Orangevale, California. Watch the clip below.
Soilwork sold 5,000 copies of its new album, "Sworn to a Great Divide", in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 148 on The Billboard 200 chart.
