SOULMAKER (FRANCE)
Biography
Soumaker was formed in 1999 by Salva (guitars), Sam (bass)
and Vivien (vocals). After undergoing several line-up changes, the band settles
down in 2002 with the arrival of Nico (drums) and Seb (guitars) in its ranks.
They adjusted their weapons playing heavy metal covers before deciding to make
matters in their hands and write thir own stuff. Despite a promising start
and a few shows, Seb is forced to sit out due to professional reasons, and
the whole band went on hiatus for one year.
In the begining 2004, Soulmaker is once again a full unit and finds its rehearsal
space. During this year, the band records a song for the "Into A Heavy
Circle" compilation and sets their goal on self producing its first Demo.
In October, it's ready and the band launches its website to push its release.
In 2006 Soulmaker is on a musical crossroad: while keeping the melodic aspects
and French lyrics, the band sets for a broader style of metal, taking elements
from every subgenre to achieve its own identity. The Demo release enables them
to play about twenty shows and land opening spots with PSYKUP and EPICA. At
the same time, the band joins the Myspace community and creates its own association,
Le Chant Des Ombres.
In early 2007, the band splits up with Vivien for musical reasons. Marina
is soon integrated in the formation and enables Soulmaker to enjoy a new start.
The band is finding its own strength and records "Obsessions" to
show its new face...
