SOULDRAINER was born 1998 in a studio as a three man project and
recorded the first material 2000. (Johan Klitkou - Vocals, Nils
Fjellström - Drums, Marcus Edvardsson - Guitars). The goal was songs
of the slower kind but with an attitude and brutality never
approached before. The foundation was Death Metal with additional
strings and huge church choirs that made it evil and beautiful at the
same time in a morbid mixture. It creates a feeling of dying
violently in a beautiful way.
Time passed and the songs became more and more popular among the
people and the fan base grew. This encouraged SOULDRAINER to plan
live gigs and to record even more songs for the public. The three
piece band could not make it in a live gig so more musicians was
needed. During this time some musicians had already showed their
interest in the band and even had new music ideas for SOULDRAINER.
2003 was a turning point for SOULDRAINER. Additional musicians
(Daniel Dlimi - Guitars, Joakim Wassberg - Bass) officially joined
the band and it took SOULDRAINER to a new existence. Live gigs was
made and new songs was written.
2005 the first official release, a three track Mini CD titled First
Row In Hell. This MCD was a taste from the upcoming full length debut
album Reborn that was finished later. Labels, magazines and concert
halls received this recording and the response was huge. Journalists
praised it with full scores and labels started to show interest.
The full length album Reborn was finished 2005 before any label laid
hands on SOULDRAINER.
Nils had less time for SOULDRAINER since it became a live act and was
no longer was just a studio project. He needed to put more priority
on his other main band and decided to quit. Arttu Malkki entered the
drum throne and became a member of SOULDRAINER.
2006 SOULDRAINER inked a deal with Mascot Records and the debut album
was released in May 2007.
2007 Debut album REBORN was released in May. Vocalist Johan decided to quit the band
2008 Guitarist Marcus took over the vocals
Current lineup:
Marcus Edvardsson - Guitars and Vocals
Daniel Dlimi - Guitars
Joakim Wassberg - Bass
Arttu Malkki - Drums
