The album peaked at #78 on the Billboard 200 chart[1] and included the single and video for "Redefine" which charted higher than any previous single of the band. The track "Pride" was featured in the video game Madden NFL 2004. According to the album booklet, the track "Remember" was dedicated to the memory of Dave Williams, the original lead singer of Drowning Pool.
Touring
Soil toured for a year in promotion of Redefine which included a European schedule with Drowning Pool and Damageplan. Touring ended in late 2004 when Ryan McCombs suddenly left the group. This forced the cancellation of future shows including a mini tour with Sevendust, a festival with Damageplan, and a UK tour. Soil was also scheduled to perform with Damageplan on December 10 of the same year, but ultimately did not, due to the murder of Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell two days earlier.
