SOIL Finish Recording New Album

November 14, 2005

Chicago's SOIL have finished recording their new album at Bomb Shelter studios in Los Angeles, California with producer Ulrich Wild (STATIC-X, TAPROOT) for a tentative February 2006 release via DRT Entertainment. The group's guitarist, Shaun Glass, has issued the following update on the album's recording process:

"Well, all tracking is 100 percent done, meaning we have recorded all 12 songs and are extremely happy with the ones we picked to make this a true SOIL album. As usual, it will show all our sides — from the hardest shit we have ever written to the most melodic and intense stuff. Musically, Adam [Zadel, guitar] has some ass-shredding leads that were never present on any of our previous efforts and Mr. AJ [Cavalier] has done a great job adding a new dimension of vocals, from the heavy to the melodic — he does it all.

"People, this is the next level for SOIL. Trust me when I say this is our best album.

"As I sit here typing, Ulrich has begun the mixing of our new creation. Also we are set up in another location to begin jamming some shit. We are doing three shows back in Chicago with our metal bros in DISTURBED!"

SOIL's follow-up to last year's "Redefine" will be the group's first CD to feature singer Cavalier, who previously fronted the California-based DIESEL MACHINE (also featuring ex-DAMAGEPLAN frontman Patrick Lachman on guitar). The band's original vocalist, Ryan McCombs, has since joined the Texas act DROWNING POOL.
