Biography
Björn Ove Ingemar "Speed" Strid (b. September 10, 1978) is a vocalist with a resume that includes work in metal bands such as Disarmonia Mundi, Terror 2000, Coldseed, and most notably Soilwork. He also provided vocals for Darkane on their demo recording prior to Lawrence Mackrory joining the band before their debut album. As well he made a guest appearance on Zero Tolerance's "Prime Time Mind Surgery", released in September 2006.

Strid utilizes a varied vocal style, being able to quickly alternate between more guttural growls and higher screams and clean, harmonious vocals.

Strid grew up in Sweden and received the nickname "Speed" from fellow students as a result of the "extreme music" he was known to enjoy. He co-founded Soilwork in 1995 under the name Inferior Breed. This name was later changed to Soilwork once the fledgling band's sound began to take shape. Most of the lyrics are written by Strid as well.
