Comprised of vocalist Ryan McCombs guitarists Adam Zadel and Shaun Glass,
bassist Tim King and drummer Tom Schofield, the Alternative-Metal band
SOiL formed in 1997 in Chicago, Illinois USA.
The group started their career by releasing two independent records:
a 5-track EP titled "El Chupacabra!" in late 1998 and their
debut full-length album, "Throttle Junkies", in the spring of
1999.
The quintet re-emerged nearly two and a half years, in September 2001
with their J Records debut, "Scars", this album climbed into
the top 10 of the Billboard Heatseekers chart spawning two Mainstream
Rock top 30 singles in "Halo" and "Unreal", triggering
more than a year on the road, tours ranging from sold-out arenas with
Ozzy Osbourne, Rob
Zombie and Mudvayne, to large clubs
with with Static-X, Sevendust
and Drowning Pool. That same year,
SOiL unleashed a self-titled EP through Olympic.
In March 2004, the Chicagan metallers delivered their third full-length
CD, the second for J, "re.de.fine", it peaked at #78 on The
Billboard 200 list while the main single, the album's title-track, rose
to #11 on The Mainstream Rock chart; but the band parted ways with their
long-time vocalist, Ryan McCombs, soon after the album's release.
SOiL issued their fourth album, "True Self", in May 2006 on
DRT Entertainment, this is the first to features new singer AJ Cavalier
who replaced McCombs, now in Drowning
Pool; the first single off the CD is "Fight For Life".
