Souldrainer

小简介
1998 - 2000
The idea of 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
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 MCD First Row In Hell was released. 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.

Arttu Malkki entered the drum throne and became a member of SOULDRAINER since Nils had less time for SOULDRAINER when it became a live act and no longer was just a studio project. He needed to put more priority on his other main band and decided to quit.
