Присяг к большому разделению - это седьмой студийный альбом шведской мелодичной дэт -металлической группы Soilwork . Альбом был выпущен 19 октября 2007 года для Европы и 23 октября 2007 года для США, как через ядерный взрыв . Все, кроме вокала, было записано в не совсем студиях в Хельсингборге . Это единственный альбом, в который входят Даниэль Антонссон на гитаре, который заменил члена -основателя Питера Вишерса после его отъезда в конце 2005 года. Это также последний альбом, в котором представлен давний гитарист Ола Френнинг, которая покинула Soilwork в феврале 2008 года.
Присяг к большому разделению был крупнейшим коммерческим успехом Soilwork во время его выпуска, продавая около 5000 экземпляров за первую неделю в США, составив график № 148 и достигнув 2 -го № 2 на вершине Heatseekers . Альбом в целом был поставлен на Myspace Soilwork 10 октября 2007 года.
Due to other commitments, Devin Townsend only produced the vocal tracks. The remaining production duties were in the hands of Ola Frenning and Peter Wildoer. While speculation led many fans to believe this would be a sequel to the intense Natural Born Chaos, Sworn to a Great Divide instead continued the band's more commercial progression, further deviating from the bands melodic death metal roots.[citation needed]
Promotion
[edit]"Exile" would become the album's single released on 3 October 2007. A music video was made for the song and shot in Gothenburg.[4] The song was also made available to download for use in Guitar Hero II on Xbox 360 on 15 October 2007. The album's title track would also find significant airplay on heavy metal satellite radio following its release.
Reception
[edit]Sworn to a Great Divide has been treated to largely positive reviews. AllMusic's Thom Jurek noted that despite upset expectations of a stylistic sequel to Natural Born Chaos, the album has "absolutely nothing to complain about." Jurek praised vocalist Björn Strid as well as the album's layered and melodic style. He concluded by calling it "well done, carefully executed, and aggressive enough to satisfy fans, while offering some new textures, spaces, and compositional elements to add depth and dimension to an ever-evolving sound."
The album received perhaps a more extreme review from Stylus which considers Soilwork's style a heavier incarnation of Nirvana and modern emo groups. It also speculates the song title "20 More Miles" as a possible "marketing move." Yet, in the same hand, the review considers Soilwork to "sound slightly 'more metal' than before." Sworn to a Great Divide is also praised for its catchy hooks, guitar harmonies, and Strid's outstanding singing abilities. It ends by stating, "That this falls under metal, as does Slayer and Sunn O))), is a credit to the music's breadth and resiliency."
