BIOGRAPHY

From the cold woods of northern Quebec comes a new force in the Black Metal dimension. Indeed, SOUL OF DARKNESS has already been reckoned as one of the best Canadian efforts since the new millennium.

Originally formed as a trio in 1998, the band quickly gained a solid reputation in its native region of Saguenay, where acts such as Voivod and NecronomicoN were born. Influences such as At the Gates, Cannibal Corpse, In Flames were combined with medieval music to obtain an attractive dark and melodic result. With the final addition of Silomen on keyboards two years later, SOUL OF DARKNESS was then complete with its 4 lord vampires representing the 4 directions.

Despite their fairly “new” status, SOUL OF DARKNESS already did remarkable performances alongside Dark Funeral, Anonymus, NecronomicoN and Overbass among others, as well as participating twice on the Polliwog festival. Montreal-based agency B.C. Productions released the quartet’s first mini-cd entitled “Cry of the Inner Pain”, under license by Skyscraper Music. Already highly awaited by reputation, this release has been getting airplay by many local stations, yet without starting any promotional campaign.

The pain has only begun…
