Melodic doomsday death metal from sweden
Hailing from the frozen landscapes of Östersund, Sweden, Souldrainer, formed in 1999, stands as the next breed of melodic death metal. Our sound captures the raw beauty and brutality of the cold north—huge, ominous landscapes that are both breathtaking and unforgiving. Imagine dying violently in a serene and beautiful way; this is the essence of our music.
With thickly layered rhythm guitars, atmospheric angel choirs, string ensembles, and ripping vocals, we create a distinguished harmonic aggression that hits harder than a brick wall to your face. Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Swedish melodic death metal of the 1990s, we combine those roots with modern production techniques to deliver a sound that is as massive as it is haunting.
Souldrainer is a powerhouse quartet featuring Marcus Edvardsson on vocals and guitars, Gustaf Bennmarker on guitars, Joakim Wassberg on bass, and Hugo Nylander on drums. Together, we bring every song to life with precision, intensity, and emotion. Our lyrics explore themes of the end of the world, the collapse of humankind, and the shadows lurking within the human soul.
Every album is crafted at Metallfabriken Studios, ensuring that each note resonates with the depth and power we strive for.
Step into our world of darkness, beauty, and brutal melody.
