SOULSEARCH - Austria's finest in doom music, ceased to exist in 2000. This page is dedicated to the music, which shall not be forgotten. Since the official page went offline some weeks ago, we hereby offer you the possibility to download the last SOULSEARCH release - the Iherno-10"-EP, completely. You can download & compile your own CD-R release with covers here:
Two members of the original line-up (Thom & Mucho) play in OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON US now. Visit their myspace site.
Classic Pagan-Doom Folkmetal with strong and heroic german lyrics and many medieval elements. Soulsearch started in the early 90ies to create their own, unique style, which would today be called Folkmetal. but at that time Soulsearch were alone in the fields. 10 years later, Folkmetal (or Metalfolk) as we know it nowadays, began to establish as a own musicstyle…
..Those that became struck by SOULSEARCH in the cold days of the winter 1991, did not recover until today. Led by the vision of Doom Metal in all its multiplicity, SOULSEARCH followed restlessly the musical way of the metallic, gloomy and epic arts. For the first time they drew media interest in 1993 with the MCD "Nature Falls Asleep" (limit. 500 pieces). This black mixture out of Doom, Death and Gothic Metal at that time already found many friends and is now a sought piece. SOULSEARCH grew slowly however steadily and consolidated the name through all kinds of concerts in Austria and Germany. The first Underground Labels already showed interest, but nevertheless they remained without a contract. Also the second sound-recording in 1995, the MCD "Die Essenz" (limit. 500), was recorded independently and presented a refreshing Heavy-Doom Metal version with Folk influences. This also became the first time where next to English, also German texts were used. Again SOULSEARCH could be seen live with their always extravagant presentation. Two years went by as SOULSEARCH prepared for the first full length. It was going to be a concept album with epic hymns of the celts. After long preparation, „Gwynned“ saw the light in 1997. However, instead of the self-production it was intended to be „Gwynned“ was released as cooperation with Serenades Records/ Last Episode Productions. Dark and diverse as never seen before SOULSEARCH showed their face, a grimace of Doom, Dark Wave and Ambient. "Gwynedd" received raving critics from the European press which called SOULSEARCH one of the hottest secrets of the Black/ Doom. Gothic scene.
In August of the year 1998 SOULSEARCH went back to Sonic Flow studio to produce the successor to their Debut. The title "Abred vs. Annwn" already shows the textual direction. "Abred" - the human world, against "Annwn" - the world out of the celtic mythology, symbolizing the contrasts in life of each individual. Next to the symphonic force, the compositions on "Abred vs. Annwn" especially live on diversity. Powerful Doom rolls, epic Metal anthems, rythmic Folk songs and gloomy Ambient pieces make "Abred vs. Annwn" a highight in music.
In 2000 the band released the 10" vinyl “Iherno” , which was limited to only 100 copies. “Iherno” contained two epic monuments of doom metal, heavy as lead! The masterpieces “Heervater” and “Narbenvolk” are the best compositions they ever made!!!
In 2006 Steinklang/Ahnstern Rec. released the compilation “Liedersammlung”.
All songs on this album were recorded between 1993 and 2000. The CD includes the final Soulsearch release, “Iherno”. the other songs are a fine selection from their early albums (each album has sold 3000 to 5000 copies in the 90ies.) and one unreleased track. after they split in 2000, two ex-Soulsearch members (Mucho,Thom) joined again in OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON US, a angry sludge formation. Another ex-Soulsearch member (Hajot) is one of the basic-members of STURMPERCHT. Hajot Mucho and Thom recently formed MAGDALENA (alpine suicide songs). They will release a track on a Steinklang label compilation in the end of 2007 (guest vocals by clara) and their first album on Ahnstern records in late 2008.
My new 3 album box set ODESSA delves into the disgusting involvement the United States government had in hiding Nazi war criminals that were deemed, "intelligence assets", to be used against the Russians. ODESSA also examines the enthusiastic role the Franciscan Order, Argentinian and Chilean Governments, and Arab leaders who hated the Jews played in hiding and finding new homes for former fascists. It seems many nations had a reason to keep these monsters from being captured, and this is my attempt to expose the establishment of a Fourth Reich in South America that still exists to this day.

I am now
recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These
cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment)
for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon
Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute
tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him
(Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to
the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting
rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection,
and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will
be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for
the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be
shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of
purchase!!!
"Also
hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the music
of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and abandoned
Mithraic fiddle pieces evoke images of lost Keltic lands inundated by
the oceans, lost Iberian & Armorican sea peoples and lost times
from beyond the beyond." Julian Cope
Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.

Wenn man eine Band mit Salzburgs Hardcore/Metal-Szene in Verbindung bringen will dann ist das wohl Misbegotten. Seit nunmehr 15 Jahren gehen June, Günter & Co allen Trends zum Trotz unbeirrt ihren Weg. Mit brachialen Riffs, fetten Grooves, intensiven Vocals, schweißtreibenden Live-Shows und viel Herzblut haben sich Misbegotten bis weit über Salzburgs Grenzen hinaus einen festen Namen in der „harten“ Musik-Szene erspielt. Und das wollen sie gemeinsam mit Anima, The Äth und natürlich mit euch bis in die frühen Morgenstunden gebührend feiern! Gleich nach der „15th Anniversary Show“ werden Dj Rotator & Dj Alex mit einem ausgewogenen Mix aus Hardcore und Metal für die passende musikalische Untermalung einer ausgelassenen Aftershow-Party sorgen…außerdem gibt’s noch eine Verlosung die ihr nicht verpassen sollte!
