US heavy rockers SOiL have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

"I'm sure you are all wondering what is happening in the world of SOiL after all the rumors and statements that have been going around. Late last week we learned of AJ's intentions as he notified us of his "indefinite hiatus". Then we learned of Tom's intentions, As did all of you, via the Blabbermouth statement he issued a few days ago.

We have decided that the show must and will go on. We refuse to let the fans, promoters, and radio stations down on such short notice. We decided to ask our friend's Jordan Lee (vox) and Mike Tignino (drums) to fill in. Both Jordan and Mike are awesome musicians and have been long time SOiL followers and to us it is an honor to have them join us for the already confirmed shows. We will take full advantage of this opportunity to perform some classic songs we haven't played in years and can promise you we will deliver a powerful and energetic show that will meet and surpass the standards we have always set for our live shows.

You can either take a bad situation and make it worse, or you can rise above and make it a fun event that everyone can remember and walk away from having a good time. We plan on doing just that. So to the fans, come out to see some classics we haven't played in ages, Have a good time and enjoy yourself! After all that is what rock and roll is all about!

Humbly,
Tim & Adam."

"Hey there you crazy people! We haven't given you an update in a few months, so here ya go! The Mayhem show we did in Chicago (which was amazing btw, thanks again to the fans for going nuts) will be our last till probably next year. We are hard at work on the new album and will be entering the studio by fall. The songs we have so far are coming together great and we are just enjoying the writing process more than ever.

We'll keep you posted on the progress, as well as, get you in studio video footage and all that good stuff. Things have been quiet for now since we are in writing/recording mode, but thanks to you guys for sending all the e-mails and pics to the myspace page. We definitely try and get to all that we can.
