There isn’t a band with such a dark and sad history as Soilent Green. Be it wrecks, severe injury, or death, it’s like they’re stuck in twisted game of whack-a-mole with some higher power. Over the years they’ve faced these issues, regrouped themselves, and continued to blast out great albums. This latest album, according to the band, is a great catharsis for everything they’ve gone through. I can’t stress to you enough how amazing this album is.
Inevitable Collapse… is a gritty metal album from deep in the bowels of the bayou. The songs assault you with sheer chaos then switch gears into meaty, heavily low-end slow downs. Then right when you’ve been lulled they throw you right back into it. With solid lyrics and completely badass artwork, this album has worked its way into my top 10. If you’re familiar with previous albums, you’ll find this one to be more raw and angry, with a little more Louisiana in the mix. If you have heard them before but weren’t impressed, this is definitely the album that will change your mind.
