SOiL has recently released their sixth studio album, “Whole” and also marks the return of the band’s original singer, Ryan McCombs who sang with Drowning Pool for 5 years. It is amazing when you check out this latest album. It has all the energy and intensity which is is the reason I first fell in love with SOiL many years ago! You can pick up your copy here.
The album starts right off with hard rock edgy guitars in Loaded Gun and the adrenaline filled rock continues through each song. I love the bad ass bass lines in “Ugly” and you really appreciate the return of Ryan’s vocals in “Way Gone“.
Another amazing song is “Shine On” which is dedicated to the SOiL fans for standing by the band throughout the years. They currently have a video out for their single, “Shine On” and you can check it out here:
The album continues on with the intensity and delivering their classic original SOiL sounds as in Wake Up and Amagalmation. SOiL is definitely WHOLE again as you can just feel the cohesiveness in the band’s music. Guitarist Adam Zadel explains, “This was by far the most comfortable and natural recording process we have ever experienced. From the writing, pre production, and through the main tracking and mixing, everything was smooth and fluid” I think Adam sums it up perfectly!
“My Time” has some heavy guitars and catchy chorus that keeps you captivated as you breath in the kick ass breakdown. Little Liar has some great precision drumming and I love the ride cymbal in it. It completely ROCKS! They finish off the album with One Love that is the perfect ending to this album. Incredible lyrics, intense vocals that grab you,smoking guitars, and climatic fadeout. Amazing work, gentlemen!!
SOiL will be performing this weekend at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento on Sunday, September 15th at 2:50 PM on the Ernie Ball Stage. You don’t want to miss this show! We will see if we can bring you an interview so we can all catch up with SOiL. If you haven’t yet, make sure to head over to Itunes and pick up your copy of WHOLE.
