US rock outfit Soil are credited by many as being the pioneers of a genre that has birthed bands of the calibre of Godsmack, Spineshank and Mudvayne.
Regardless of whether you subscribe to that theory or not, one thing that is undeniable is the impact Soil have had on the music landscape since bursting onto the scene in 1997. The seeds for rock revolution were sewn, but it wasn’t until Soil’s major label debut album Scars in 2001 that the world stood to full attention.
One song in particular from that album – Halo – is still on high rotation around the world to this day and is instantly recognisable as Soil and their trademark style.
The album was that well universally received that Soil are returning to Australia next week for a run of shows with Static X where they will be performing that groundbreaking album in full – but with a unique twist.
HEAVY caught up with bass player Tim King to find out more.
