Soulslide - Biography
Biography
Soulslide was formed in a summer night in September 2002. David (guitar) and Lars (drums) decided, that the future must bring more possibilities for their musical progress. The new band should consist of musicians who are close friends and who know exactly what they want. They want to move straight forward in the future. So it came to the following cast:
The important part ..s was filled by Simone. Since a long time they played together with her, and because of the strength of their friendship it was an easy and well done decision. For the bass-job they decided to take Hendrik, a very impressive and experienced musician. Once again they could win a close friend as a band-member. The only thing missing in this team was a powerful vocalist. Luck was on their side and so they found Sandra. After visiting a rehearsal she decided to give her voice to Soulslide.
Soulslide recorded their debut album "Dreamshade" from January to February 2003. The CD includes four songs recorded at the Play-it-Loud Studio in Duisburg (Germany).
At first Soulslide recorded those four tracks for the Promo-CD so that they could find a label, and to respond to the great demand of the fans they also produced 400 pieces, 100 signed by the band members. The CD includes the tracks 01. Nightmare 02. The Dreamer 03. Soulslide 04. Alone in the dark. The cd was sold-out after 5 month so they produced another 1000 pieces.
In the end of 2003 Sandra moved back to Austria and Lars left the band because of musical and personal differences.
Soulslide recorded their next demo in 2004 at House of Music together with engineer Achim Köhler and drummer Jörg Michael (Stratovarius). It was cool of Jörg that he helped out immediately after they asked him as he likes to play and was convinced by the material! This gave them the great opportunity to continue working on the newer songs. During that time Christian Lessner produced the videoclip to "Into Despair". It was a new experience for both sides and Christian made an excellent job and spend a hell of time into his work.
It was in the beginning of 2005 were Sandra told them that she got heavily diseased and that they only can wait and take a look if she can ever sing again. Fortunately she get well again but they had to split at the end of 2006 because of the big distance of their hometowns. It was impossible to rehears and do anything new. Another problem in the last month was to find a permanent drummer. Fortunately former drummer Lars decided to abandon his ineffective band journeys and returned to Soulslide.
They found the new singer Cynthia in the end of 2007 and recorded a new song after two month with engineer Andi Petri at Play-it-Loud Studio. At the moment they work out the old songs with Cynthia to prepare for first liveshows in the beginning of 2008.
In 2010 the former bass-player Hendrik left the band due to job-related reasons. He could replaced by Jochen, an experienced bass player, who played in different bands so far. In 2011 Soulslide was added by Markus as second guitar-player whose playing represents an enrichment for the band. But the position of a singer was still vacant and unfortunately it should be al long journey. In the last years Soulslide tested different female singers live and in rehearsals, but nobody fit to the band concerning various reasons. But neverless Soulside recorded and produced during this period nine lovely songs for the CD "Amaurotic", which was published in January 2014.
At last in September 2014 Soulslide found the right female singer in Juliane, who was playing in the medieval-sounded band Luxuria Auris so far. In her child- and girlhood she was a member in different choirs and involved in several different musicals and opera. Now Soulslide is complete and is working hard for new songs and live-gigs. We want out...and go on stage. We hope to be able to present sound samples with Juliane very soon. Soulsliders, be prepared for Juliane, we are absolutely sure that you will like her, so as we do! Being in Soulslide feels great again.
