Blackened Soul
Blackened Soul comes from Cwmbran in South Wales except Brett the guitarist who hails from Merthyr!!
The band has been going for nearly 4 years now but the current line-up has been together for 6 months or so. We have decided to stick to being a 4 piece and are dropping the lengthy "solos" and concentrating on more diverse riffing and drum changes!!!
Our new My Closed Fist EP has just been uploaded onto Soundclick. It sees the band take a twist in its style. The EP was recorded at Le Mons in Newport by Chris (formerly of The Darling Buds).
We try NOT to put ourselves into a specific category but like our music, hard, loud and fast but "melodic" in places too....lol.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Far too much history to bore the tits off you....lol
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We try and gig constantly in the South and West Wales areas playing in Newport, Cardiff, Neath, Pontypridd etc whilst trying to break into playing in England.
Your musical influences
Slayer, Metallica, Chimaira, Machine Head, Lamb of God, Arch Enemy, Fear Factory , Slipknot and many many more!!

Just like to say that if you enjoy our MP3 then tell your friends about the Soulzz as they will probably be coming to a town near you real soon!!!
