- Soilwork - the title track from 'natural born chaos'.
But Natural Born Chaos is an album which easily ranks among their best work. They took a risk and for me, as a listener for musicality rather than just metal-ness, it paid big dividends.
This is the first album with current keyboardist Sven Karlsson.
This is also the first release from the band to include elements, such as alternative metal, a style that would become more evident in the band's following release, Figure Number Five.

With disc number four, the Swedish band strays from its Scandinavian black metal roots and, consciously or not, managed to tap into the nu-metal breed somewhat. Don't believe it? Compare the title track to anything that Static-X has ever released. The keyboards have moved from lush and atmospheric to punchy and pointed for the most part, and even the vocals of Bjorn Strid are less abrasive overall and alternate between heavy and serene. Old fans might have a difficult time adjusting to Natural Born Chaos, but it's an impressive disc in that it combines two seemingly disparate styles seamlessly into a unique listening experience.
