You might have everything commercially available from Soilwork in your country, but what about all those difficult-to-find bonus tracks? Or how about the Beyond The Infinite EP from 2014 that was only released in Japan? Fortunately you can grab the majority of the tracks missing from your collection, as well as two new tracks, on the band's upcoming compilation Death Resonance.
The compilation consists of a bunch of Japanese bonus tracks, the aforementioned EP, and the first two new tracks (presumably) written and recorded with bassist Markus Wibom. Here's the tracklist, which spans albums from 2005 to now.
01 – “Helsinki” (new song)
02 – “Death Resonance” (new song)
03 – “The End Begins Below The Surface” (“The Ride Majestic” Japan bonus track)

The band also comments on the importance of the compilation, as well as the artwork done by Mnemic guitarist Mircea Eftemie.
“The cover for ‘Death Resonance‘ is made by Mircea Eftemie and in many ways he has managed to capture what we went through while recording ‘The Ride Majestic‘: the sorrow, the close encounter with death, the aftermath and also the existential cogitation that came with it. It links those albums together, even though ‘Death Resonance‘ contains unreleased material from 2005 onwards. The cover almost seems like a link between life and death and not only captures where the band is right now, but also where we’ve been and what lies ahead.”
There is no pre-order option currently available for the compilation.
