Additional notes:
Soilent Green are named after a sci-fi movie from the Seventies in which people only have one thing to eat (Soylent Green, probably changed to Soilent Green by the band to avoid copyright infringement) and they later find out is made of deceased humans.
The band usually borrows artwork from the painter Alfons Mucha for their album covers.
Scott Williams was shot and killed in 2004.
Ben Falgoust is the owner of Incision Records.
Not to be confused with the Speed/Thrash band from Minnesota.
