Side project of Shane Embury and Lou Koller after meeting in the US on tour.
Blood from the Soul was a one-off project by Sick of It All‘s Lou Koller and Napalm Death‘s Shane Embury. It was the sum of its parts, no more and no less. Koller sang, while Embury provided all other instrumentation. The result was a simple fusion of Sick of It All vocals over early-’90s Napalm Death. Well, mostly — Koller took a break from his typically gritty lyrics to explore more abstract realms: “Painted life not real/Reflections coarse and untrue/Lie beneath veils of doubt/Forced to give birth.” His vocals also underwent more reverb than usual. Koller did well with what he was given, inflecting his signature bark with surprising expressiveness. Embury‘s dissonant drones came straight from Napalm Death‘s contemporaneous Fear, Emptiness, Despair. This album was heated up with the friction of slower speeds; “Natures Hole” was like a cyborg Black Sabbath, while “Blood from the Soul” evoked Swans‘ bleakness.
