SOiL is entering a bold new chapter of their career. The Chicago-bred hard rock band has reinvigorated itself with new music, new management, and a new label home, teaming up with manager Dino Paredes of Shelter Music Group and legendary independent Rock record label BetterNoise Music to release its first new original music in over a decade. Working with producers BlairDaly and Zac Maloy at Sienna Studios in Nashville, SOiL has built what the band calls its strongest material to date — tracks like“Enemy-X,” “Cage,” and“Hand Grenade” that fuse the band’s classic sound with a modern edge built to compete with today’s rock landscape.

That confidence is backed by nearly three decades of history. Formed in Chicago in 1997, SOiL broke out in the early 2000s when their single “Halo” ignited a major-label bidding war; music industry icon Clive Davis — the executive behind landmark signings including Aerosmith — signed the band to J Records (BMG). The result was the band’s major-label debut, “Scars” (2001), propelled by the hits “Halo” and “Unreal,” heavy MTV rotation, and Metal Edge magazine’sReaders’ Choice Award for “Next Big Thing.” SOiL has since sold more than two million albumsworldwide and built a catalog of fan favorites —“re.de.fine” (2004), “True Self” (2006), “PicturePerfect” (2009), and“Whole” (2013)— anchored by hit singles “The Lesser Man” and “Shine On,” the 2017 retrospective“Scream: The Essentials,” and the 2022 covers collection“Play It Forward.”

“To have a team like this in place is unbelievable,” says bassist Tim King. “It feels like we’re back in2001, with all the energy, amazing partners, and music we had when SOiL first broke into the mainstream.”

Prepare for a new era of SOiL — bigger, louder, and more powerful than ever.
