SOILWORK have posted the following message at their website:

"The reason why we decided to put the previous post about guitarist audition in Swedish was because we wanted a Swedish guitarist who lives close by and to prevent that the inbox will turn into chaos.

This has nothing to do with that we look down on guitarists or musicians outside Sweden (I bet there's a lot of guitar players that could manage the Soilwork stuff!). As we said, we're looking for a Swede, wanna be a rehearsing band again, hope you understand!

Peace!"
