Driven from the ashes of the sludge band Forsaken, Michael Avery (Guitar), Anthony Staton (Vokills), Mark Schindler (Drums), and Robb Hewlett (Bass) went on to form the band Soulpreacher. Their early sound focused primarily on hateful psychedelic doom metal. Mark Schindler parted ways early on, and Brian Watson was added to the lineup taking over on drums.
Soulpreacher then signed with Frank Kozik's label Man's Ruin, and soon released their debut album "Sonic Witchcraft" in 1999. The response was powerful in the doom and heavy metal scene and the band went on to release the follow-up "When the Black Sunn Rises...the Holy Men Burn" in 2000 on the Colorado label Game Two/Berserker Records.
Following Michael Avery's departure to law school in 2004, the band decided to add the double guitar talents of Chris Hill (Gods in Waiting, Sorrow Bequest (now Widow)) and Trent Giardino (Shadowlore). With the addition of the two new guitarists, the band's sound grew darker, and more melancholic.
In late 2007, the band recorded their third studio album "All the Drugs Are Failing," showcasing their growth and songwriting skills. With influences ranging from Pink Floyd to Slayer to My Dying Bride and Anathema, Soulpreacher continues to transcend the Doom and Heavy metal genres.
"The clean verses shimmer with understated melody and a desperately catchy vocal flow that I haven’t been able to get out of my head since I first heard it." - Hellridemusic.com
“SOULPREACHER are intense and a strong musical unit. If they continue their path, which they’ve taken with this CD, they will be a band you should count on for the future. Order this awesome release... because you shouldn’t miss it."
- CosmicLava.de
"...SOULPREACHER practices a doom death [style] with stoner/sludge influences with the most beautiful effect. An interesting discovery."
- Crypticmadness.com
“…SOULPREACHER mixes its doom origins with the limits of sludge and doom... Well produced and put together, and very heavy. Soulpreacher should satisfy all fans of that style." - LordsofWinter.com
"They have a lot of good hook lines, but their music is still dark and melancholic with a lot of anger about the world we live in." - Cosmiclava.de

The figure eight continues and around the board it moves. It’s slowing down, it’s slowing down. Come, spirit, talk to me right now, Tell us tonight, because we want to know . . Then the oracle stopped on the letter O.
You’re coming in so very clear, Now tell us why you’re roaming here, on this dark and stormy night. Speak to me, speak to me, Travel through this board to me. Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb. Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now. Then the oracle stopped on the U.
Y-O-U, Y-O-U, this isn’t making sense. You spelled out, YOU is this what you meant to do? Then the oracle stopped on YES.

Thank you so much for joining. I am Blondy, I will be running Riki's page for him. He is a down to earth, kind man. He has much guitar talent, similiar to his cousin Jimi, but with his own style and personality. He does watch his page often and is grateful for his new friends and the wonderful comments. Peace and 1love! Blondy
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER. However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer. He played bass with evil blacksters Grimness and he’s involved in Black Land, an awesome and obscure heavy psychedelic band from Rome. Practices have been going very well, and Willer is already adding a new, acid and exciting dimension to the band as a whole. His first gig will be at Sinister Noise Club in Rome on the 21th November: a special and drunken night celebrating the birthday of one of the most important Italian underground rock scene club! Stay tuned… and slower, harder, drunker!
Meticulously crafted and uttely expansive, "A New Constellation" combines the best cross sections of Prog-Rock and Jazz infused Art-Metal with a healthy dose of Doom oriented melancholy.
A precious weekend as you deserve in the company of The Silent Watcher New EP out : "Mourning Shadow" Cryptic Lyrics for those who can read it up in the picture section. -W-
