This is one of the best hard rock cd's out there. I saw the band in Corpus Christi, soon after the cd was released; they were truly awesome in concert,so I bought the cd at the show. Every track is Kick Ass, from the beginning to end. It is a very hard hitting and unique first album that any band would be proud of. I was excited to see one of the songs is going to be on a SAW soundtrack. I hope the band puts out another cd soon. I hope number 2 will as great as the first.

Tampa-based modern rockers Soulidium hit the scene in 2007 with their debut album Children of Chaos. The band, which has enjoyed some success supporting Sevendust on tour as well as a spot on the Saw 4 soundtrack, plays, straddles the line between post-grunge mainstream rock and nu-metal, and follows (very, very closely) in the footsteps of bands like Hoobastank, Linkin Park, Hinder, et al. Whether the world really needed another one of these "Mountain Dew commercial" bands is debatable.

They aren't breaking any new ground, but you have to give Soulidium this much: Children of Chaos is one hard rocking album. It doesn't matter how jaded you are or how little you care about the American mainstream rock scene, when you hear a song like "Drama" or "Crucify" you have no choice but to crank it up and bang your head. Honestly, the whole album is pretty damned catchy, even if you have heard it all before. That's what is so frustrating about this album. As rocking and catchy as Children of Chaos may be, if you own even one album by any of the bands mentioned above then you've pretty much already heard it.

Hopefully Soulidium will use whatever success Children of Chaos brings their way to further develop their sound and make it more unique. That the band has potential is obvious. I'll be interested to see what they do with it.

Dear readers, let us be honest: from a music standpoint, they're not very original. Though hardly the Breaking Benjamin ripoff they've been accused of-for one thing, Soulidium's Michael McKnight doesn't sing in the same warbally key that Ben Burnley goes for.

That being said, once you get past McKnight's appearance, the songs are well-crafted, lyrical content is original and his fellow bandmates seem to know their instruments and play them decently. With the exception of "Easy Kind of Girl" and "About You"-a paean about a groupie and a slow song about death, I could imagine myself giving this to a first-time listener without shame.
