Album: "INEVITABLE COLLAPSE IN THE PRESENCE OF CONVICTION (CD)"

Year: 2008
Media type: CD

They say only the strong survive, and for Louisiana swamp extremists SOILENT GREEN no truer words were ever spoken. Hardly strangers to adversity, SOILENT’s two-decade-old history is fraught with lineup changes, van collisions, murder, suicide and a hurricane casualty. And yet, they soldier on, driven by passion, patience, perseverance and a will to dominate.

And dominate they will! Their fifth album “Inevitable Collapse In The Presence Of Conviction” is a statement, a call to arms, a declaration of willpower!

Founding member and guitarist Brian Patton comments: “It’s a pretty heavy name, I came up with it. I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues in life. We’ve had a lot of deaths in our little circle. [Our former singer] Glenn passed away in the hurricane [Katrina], our old bass player ended up getting shot and you know, we’ve had a lot of issues with just family. It hasn’t been all peaches and cream out in this area. So it’s just a depression type theme; when you’re given hope and it’s taken from you. It’s pretty heavy.”

It’s decidedly unpleasant subject matter packaged in a raw, downtrodden fusion of death, grind, doom and sludge with a subtle blues swagger seemingly inherent to bands from the Bayou State. It’s thanks to this mixture that Rolling Stone named SOILENT GREEN “one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands” in 1998, and that the legendary PANTERA took SOILENT out on tour, not once but twice!

“Inevitable Collapse In The Presence Of Conviction” lives up to this praise once more. Epic heaviness, anger and frustration – all culminating in eleven compositions that are beyond comparison, leaving behind a distraught listener with his sense of perception rocked to its very foundations.
Is there really no hope? SOILENT GREEN have got the answer!
