Soilent Green was formed in October of 1988 when guitarists Brian Patton and Donovan Punch joined forces with the drummer Tommy Buckley, a bass player and a vocalist in New Orleans, USA. For three years they recorded a half dozen heavily circulated demos and played numerous shows in their home state as well as Texas. In 1993 the band recorded a demo which secured a deal with the Los Angeles based label Dwell Records. The band has had to coordinate their activities with those of Eyehategod since their guitarist Patton has been a member of both bands since 1992. Former bass player Scott Williams was killed on the night of Monday, April 26th, 2004, in an apparent murder-suicide after a fight with his roommate.
This message was posted at Blabbermouth.net on October 2nd 2005: According to a posting at NolaUnderground.com, former SOILENT GREEN vocalist Glenn Rambo was found dead his mother's home Saturday afternoon (Oct. 1). "His ex-girlfriend Stacy and some National Guardsmen went to Glenn's mom's house on Guerra Drive in Violet Louisiana [on Saturday] because Stacy had not heard from Glenn since before [Hurricane Katrina]," a friend of Glenn's by the name of Melissa writes in the posting. "They discovered the bodies of Glenn and his mom still in the house. Glenn had a broken leg, and he and his mom had no car to evacuate. If you know them you probably know that his family didn't have much money. I'm not sure where they are going to bury them, or if there are any next-of-kin that could help. Maybe we can all take up a collection to make sure that they are buried properly and have grave markers. I don't even know how to go about doing something like that. It just makes me sad to think that after we have all lost so much, we are now finding out that we have lost good friends as well. Glenn was an important part of the [New Orleans] music scene, and a good friend to many of us. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered."
