Vocalist Bjorn “Speed” Strid discusses the meaning behind the track: ““The Ride Majestic” was one of the first songs we wrote for this album. The intro sets a certain melancholic mood and after that it's all pure melodic mayhem. There’s a very epic and anthemic feel to it, which suits the album title perfectly. The lyrics deal with the fear of dying and the art of remaining sane while you're still alive. Not wanting to miss a thing, wanting to embrace every moment, and being able to bring it all back on your dying day, with a snap of your fingers. It's also a tribute to the ones we've lost and the comfort of hoping that they will catch us when we fall, on the other side. We believe that, if there is an afterlife, this song would be the soundtrack to that journey. It deals with the acceptance of life and death and possibly everything between and beyond.” EUROPE – Upcoming Headline Tour w/ HATESPHERE 11/27/2015 Malmö, Sweden @ KB 11/28/2015 Herford, Germany @ X-Herford 11/29/2015 Lyss, Switzerland @ Kufa 11/30/2015 Sion, Switzerland @ Le Port Franc 12/1/2015 Brescia, Italy @ Colony Club 12/2/2015 Munich, Germany @ Backstage Halle 12/3/2015 Wiesbaden, Germany @ Schlachthof 12/4/2015 Leipzig, Germany @ Hellraiser 12/5/2015 Czech Rep. @ Winter Basinfire Fest 12/6/2015 Berlin, Germany @ Bi Nuu 12/7/2015 Hamburg, Germany @ Logo 12/8/2015 Koln, Germany @ Luxor 12/10/2015 Tillburg, Netherlands @ 013 12/11/2015 Vooselaar, Belgium @ Biebob 12/12/2015 Metz, France @ Les Trinitaires 12/13/2015 Dunkerque, France @ Les 4 ecluses 12/14/2015 Paris, France @ Trabendo 12/15/2015 Rennes, France @ Antipode 12/16/2015 Bordeaux, France @ Rocher de Palmer 12/17/2015 Blois, France @ Le Chato'do 12/18/2015 Limoges, France @ CC John Lennon 12/19/2015 Lyon, France @ CCO | Sweden-based melodic death metal experts SOILWORK will release their forthcoming 10th studio album, The Ride Majestic, worldwide on August 28, 2015 via Nuclear Blast Records.
