SOILS OF FATE was formed in 1995 with a goal, to be amongst the elite in extreme music. Sweden has always been known for housing melodic/Black metal music and deathmetal legends like Entombed and Dismember.
Mange(Guitar) and Henke(Vocals/Bass) had something else in mind. Fascinated by the extreme sounds from the US, especially the New York and Texas styles, they were greatly influenced by these bands which came to shape their style.
With bits and pieces from the states and yet with the European touch they recorded a Groundbreaking tape, "Pain…Has A Face" demo -97. Lots of heavy parts and a groove that no other swedish band have ever had before. But they wouldn´t stop at that.
A year later they recorded "Blood serology", again they raised themselves up a level in every aspect of their music. At this point record labels started to show interest. However, the band kept a low profile due to problems with band members and the fact that musicians were impossible to find. It would be over 2 years until "Sandstorm" saw the light of day.
During wintertime 2000 they were contacted by Retribute records who succeeded where all other labels had failed, they came to an understanding and early 2001 "Sandstorm" was released.
Seven tracks of pure Ultra Guttural Blasting Sickness plus two songs taken from their earlier recordings as bonus tracks. "Sandstorm" was a huge success worldwide and although the band was not 100% happy with the recording it still is one of the best albums in the genre.
In late 2001 S.O.F took the opportunity to do a European tour, replacing Brodequin on a 5 week long tour with the Slovak maniacs Sanatorium. The tour was obviously a great experience for S.O.F, playing with Sanatorium and bands like Rotten sound and Synthetically Revived only inspired to raise the level of their musicianship both on and off the stage.
In 2002 SOF released the their 2nd cd, CRIME SYNDICATE with KEVIN TALLEY (ex-DYING FETUS, SUFFOCATION, MISERY INDEX now with Chimaira) on drums and RUBEN ROSAS (DEVOURMENT) on backup vocals. At this time the band got the opportunity to play at the first MARYLAND DEATH FEST 2003. The reaction was amazing.
SOF is now back with a new cd, HIGHEST IN THE HIERARCY OF BLASTING SICKNESS, a cd containing demos, unreleased tracks, and videofootage.
To sum it up we guess the lines taken from the internet at Wikipedia says it all: "They are considered to be the first slam death metal band from Sweden, and even groundbreaking in Europe. "
Be sure to follow the progress of S.O.F as they´ll leave a mark of Ultra Guttural Blasting Sickness wherever they may appear. SOF is on the rising…
