SOiL premiered the brand new video for "Shine On," the first single from their forthcoming sixth studio album, Whole, on
Loudwire.comyesterday. The song is currently gaining airplay on radio stations nationwide and will be available digitally July 2. The full album will be released August 20.
Whole is the first album with original frontman Ryan McCombs since 2004's Re.De.Fine (after which he became Drowning Pool's lead singer). It sees SOiL returning to the classic sound that fans have come to admire, calling it the album "that could have come directly after the SCARS album in 2001."
New Noise magazine recently called the album (in a 5-out-of-5 star review): "...dirty hard rock influenced alternative metal that's got more piss and vinegar going for it than anything I've heard on the radio these days...To hear something like this is just fing refreshing in all honesty; and it's the best thing I've heard from alternative heavy metal in years."
In touring news, SOiL will hitting the road on June 19 for a show in Bowling Green, KY at The Rustic Room along with Pop Evil. The band is currently lining up shows for the entire summer, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
