SOiL

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) SOiL is a five-piece Alternative Metal band from Chicago, formed in 1997 by ex-members of renowned death metal acts Broken Hope and Oppressor. After three efforts (the EP SOiL, the EP El Chupacabra and the first album Throttle Junkies), they gained international success with their album Scars. Their success was helped by singles such as Halo and Unreal, which bear their distinctive harsh but emotional and melodic sound. The gloves are off, and Soil have come out swinging.

Doctrine Of Complicity

Created in March 09 in the sleepy little South Coast Town of Littlehampton, Doctrine of Complicity brought together a group of friends aged 21 to 45, with a wealth of influences and ideas, to create something a little different to the normal music associated with the area in which we all exist.....
