True Self is the fourth album by the Chicago-based music group Soil. It was released in the US on May 2, 2006, via DRT Entertainment. This is the band's first album with the new vocalist AJ Cavalier, formerly of World In Pain and Diesel Machine. True Self was leaked onto P2P and BitTorrent sites on March 4, almost two months before its official release. The album sold 4,000 copies in the US during its first week of release.

A music video was filmed for "Give It Up" and released shortly before the album.

In promotion of the album, Soil did a European/USA tour with Staind, USA tours with Sevendust, 10 Years and Godsmack, as well as numerous UK and European festival and headline tours. Soil ended the cycle with the summer 2007 True Rock Tour.[1]
