Soil
Chicago's SOiL carved their niche in the early 2000s nu-metal landscape with vocalist Ryan McCombs's gritty, emotive delivery and a sound that leaned more toward melodic hard rock than the rap-metal of their contemporaries. Their 2001 debut 'Scars' and its standout track 'Halo' earned significant rock radio play and a loyal Midwest fanbase. After lineup upheavals and McCombs's tenure in Drowning Pool, SOiL have persevered as a reliable live act and a testament to Chicago's contribution to the nu-metal era.
