Band/artist history
BIOGRAPHY SOULSTEELER
It all began in December 2001.
After the split of Jeroens former band he found new members to form another. From that moment Soulsteeler was born.
(Soulsteeler: Soul = your inner spirit/ Steel = to change something in steel)
Members Soulsteeler December 2001
Jeroen Dhondt : Lead and Rhythm guitars
Ken Van Steenbergen : Bass
Raf Nijs : Keyboards Pieter Verachtert : Drums
Because its difficult to find good vocalists, Jeroen took care of the singing parts and started to write lyrics to complete the songs. In november 2002 Pieter Verachtert decided to leave the band because he didnt have time for it anymore due to his schoolwork. A long search for a new and capable drummer started which kept going on until September 2003.
Luc Seeuws, the former drummer of Patriarch joined us.
While Luc practiced the songs we allready had, we composed new ones. In december 2003 we were ready to enter some stages. Soulsteeler participated at a Rock Rally in Arendonk.
The people who saw us were very positive about our music.
In February 2004 we decided to record a Demo-CD at the DIGIT Studio in Westmalle. Cosmic Fire contains 5 tracks: Cosmic Fire, If you run in the dark, Soulsteeler, Last Recall and Cry in the Darkness. As it was hard for Jeroen to sing and play the guitar both at the same time, we started to look for a real and good singer which we found in May 2004. Johan De Bruyn, ex-Mandylion, Celestian completed our lineup.
With his melodic voice Johan adds an extra value to the
music. From the moment he joined forces it all made sense.
The music of Soulsteeler can be described as technical and
melodic Power Metal but with its own characteristics and
atmosphere. We decided to record a second Demo-CD with the new
lineup in November 2004. Victims of Power contains 3 new
songs and 2 songs that also appeared on Cosmic Fire but
offcourse with different vocals. The tracklist of the new
demo-CD: Victims of Power, Desolation, If you run in the dark,
Soulsteeler and The Curse. So far we got plenty of good
reactions and were glad we can perform live on a rather
regular base. We also have the intention to send our Demo for
promotion and reviews to magazines and e-zines, so we hope we
can bring you some more exciting news in the coming months.
In the meantime were always interested to perform. So dont
hesitate to contact us!
