2008 sees the return of Solitary and a new album “Requiem”, over a four-year period fraught with personal highs and lows the band have created a Thrash Metal Monster, which is a must for the fans of Testament, God Forbid, Slayer or The Haunted. Influenced by the aforementioned bands and the 80’s Bay Area bands.
“Requiem” contains a guest vocal appearance from Chris Astley of 80’s Thrashers Xentrix on the track “Hatred” the CD also has cover of Testament’s “Into the Pit”. When writing the album Solitary used inspirational albums such as “Slaughter of the Soul”, “ The Gathering”, “ A New Darkness Upon Us” and “Gone Forever” as reference points to help them create the same feeling as those albums generated when they first heard them whether or not they’ve done that remains to be seen.
The artwork created by bassist Michael Park uses the original cover of a book published in 1736. The band are also shooting a video for “Keep Your Enemies Closer” in early September as well as having tracks on the CD cover mounts on Metal Hammer and Terrorizer in the UK
Solitary formed in 1994 and signed to UK label Holier Than Thou Records in 1997, they made their first appearance on the HTT compilation “Genetically Fresh” which attracted interest from the JMG Agency who lined up support slots with Kill 2 This, Reign and Deranged from Sweden. May the following year Solitary record “Nothing Changes” Solitary then embarked on two UK tours to promote the album, which was released in November1998.
The reviews of “Nothing Changes” were very favourable; the music press compared Solitary to the likes of Fear Factory, Machine Head and Pantera. UK Metal Magazine Terrorizer stated “Solitary could even help break the longstanding British empass” Despite the great reviews distribution of the album was lacking until JMG hooked up a deal with UK distributors PHD.
Solitary toured the UK again on the back of “No Reason’s” inclusion on Terrorizer’s cover mount CD in December 1999. June 2000 saw Solitary launch their official website and HTT release “Heavier Than Thou” a compilation CD featuring “Within Temptation”. Solitary headlined a HTT showcase at Nottingham Rock City, but after three fruitless years with their label Solitary part ways with Holier Than Thou Records.
“Within Temptation” reached No 2 in the Peoplesound.com Metal Charts after clocking up a staggering two thousand downloads in just four months. June 2001 saw the bands mailing list now over six thousand strong handled by Copro Records issue a free CD, featuring “The Downward Spiral” Solitary kick-start their live career again on the Rocksound sponsored Nu Titans Tour.
April 2002 “A Second Chance” toped the mp3 Metal Charts having on average been downloaded two thousand times per month. Solitary were positioned at no 12 in the global downloads charts above the likes of Elton John, Anastasia and Creed.
The band return to Assembly Line Studio’s to demo four new tracks one of the tracks “15 Years” is included on the compilation CD for the Rock detector “A-Z of Thrash Metal” book.
October 2003 sees the new line up tour the UK again prior to the visit of Danish Metal band Lipid with whom they depart on a co headlining tour the following March. November 2004 Casket re release a repackaged “Nothing Changes” with bonus tracks, which include the Sacred Reich classic “The American Way”.
