A Dream In Static was recorded in Sweden with David Castillo (Opeth, Katatonia) and Jens Bogren (Soilwork, The Ocean).
SOILWORK’s Bjorn “Speed” Strid comments on the band joining the tour, “I first was introduced toEARTHSIDE when they reached out to me about doing a guest spot on their debut album. When I listened to some of their songs, I instantly became very impressed with the musicianship and the songwriting. Recording vocals for EARTHSIDE was one of the most challenging things I have done and I can't wait to see these guys on stage. Please welcome them on the last leg of this tour, you're in for a treat!”
EARTHSIDE drummer Ben Shanbrom adds, “EARTHSIDE is thrilled to be sharing the stage withSOILWORK and SOULFLY—both bands are institutions in their own right, and I’ve heard a lot of great things about SHATTERED SUN. We’re looking forward to watching their performances! We're excited to round out the bill with a sound and unique multimedia show that might be a little different from what fans normally might expect at a metal concert.”
