Scars (Soil album)
''Scars'' is the second studio album by the Chicago-based metal group Soil. The album was released on September 11, 2001, via J Records. Although the band's second album, it was their first major label release and proved to be their most commercially successful. Its popular single, "Halo", effectively launched the band into mainstream exposure. ''Scars'' was the first hard rock or heavy metal album released through J Records.
==Background and recording==
After the release of Soil's first album, ''Throttle Junkies'', MIA Records closed. The band started writing new material and, with the help of Johnny K, fleshed out several tracks. A three-song demo of "My Own", "Need to Feel" and "Halo" was recorded in three days of August 2000 and was plugged on the Demo Diaries website.〔DeRogatis, Jim (Fresh Soil ) JimDero.com (October 19, 2001). Retrieved on 6-02-09.〕 "Halo", with its aggressive hook, gained the attention of the radio programmer Pat Lynch of Orlando, Florida, and he gave the song considerable exposure on his active rock station WJRR. Within months, it became the station's most requested song and caught the attention of various major labels. In March 2001, after visiting four potential candidates, Soil became the first rock band signed to J Records who soon offered Orlando fans a free Soil sampler. At this point, Soil had already recorded more than enough material for an album and were eager to begin work on what became ''Scars''. The music industry legend, Clive Davis, responsible for signing such acts as Pink Floyd and Bruce Springsteen, signed the band, and stated that "you're gonna be my only rock band for now. You're going to be a priority, and I want to break this band."〔(Soil | interviews | musicOMH.com )〕
Bass guitarist Tim King noted how quickly J Records moved to maintain the momentum provided by WJRR: "Everything just fell into place so fast. What normally takes three months, we did in about three weeks. I have to say, J Records stepped up to the plate and did it like they had three months. It's amazing how professional and how hard working they are and what they did to get everything moving."〔
The band originally had 28 songs which were narrowed to 18 or 20 for pre-production. After further narrowing them down to about 15 or 20, votes were taken to decide a final track list. Two of the three initial demo tracks were simply remixed while "My Own" was left untouched. Two outtakes, "Damaged You" and "Center", were recorded during the ''Scars'' sessions and the band expressed hopes of seeing them possibly released on soundtracks.〔 The song "Center" appeared on the Japanese version of the album and both tracks were included on the digital 10th anniversary re-release of ''Scars'' in 2011.
