Soultone Cymbals offers a superior sound, feel and performance with excellent artist support for today’s most demanding performers. No matter what style or sound is desired by the performer, Soultone Cymbals delivers both traditional and modern sounds with less effort, more control, and, of course, beautiful, musical, rich tone that makes the drummer want to play longer – and play better. The “touch” and feel is unique and has a more responsive bounce to the stick allowing for improved precision without washing out the dynamics of the performance.

We added new band photos for 2010 and you can find them under MEDIA/PRESS in super high resolution in both JPG and TIF formats.

Vocal recordings are going well and we are seeing an end to it. Only a couple of songs left to record as you can see on the photo of the recording check list.

We are happy to announce that we are playing at Storsjöyran Festival with artist like Avatar, Dream Evil, Raubtier,  Friday the 30th July 2010.

Hello everyone, it’s been a week since we last checked in here from the studio session at Empire Studio and we’ve made a lot of progress since last time. Not only in the studio, but we manage to pull of a gig as well in the middle of everything.

Marcus have finished all rhythm guitar tracking and have only a couple of leads to do. We have started to track vocals as well!

we’ve got over 100 GB of video, covering every phase of the recording, will make a kick ass video report in the future when everything is tracked!

First of all we would like to thank Daniel for those past seven years as a guitar player in SOULDRAINER. Daniel decides to part way with us to focus 100% on his work with AEON and we wish him good luck with everything and we’re still good friends. This will not affect the ongoing album recording nor the future events and SOULDRAINER will now continue as a three man.

SOULDRAINER are pleased to announce that we have signed a management deal with UNDERTAKER MANAGEMENT.

11.00 am. Joakim is picking Marcus up before lunch and going to the store to buy food, beverages and other sweet things to stuff our faces with during the day. We’re preparing for a long and intense day at Empire Studio.

12.30 am. We have no idea what we’ve been doing the first 90 minutes but we didn’t record any bass guitar, thats for sure! One thing is for sure and that is Marcus’ guitar really needs to be adjusted by someone with deep ninja skills of the higher form of guitar adjusting art not yet known by mankind. Joakim pull his phone out of the pocket to dial Jon from the music store Hamm & Nilsson. It’s SUNDAY, but Jon arrives within a couple of minutes with his toolbox and make the guitar behave properly! The bass guitar gets a treatment as well and it feels like a new bass! Jon’s daughters are head banging, to the amazing songs wich are impossible to stand still to, in the hallway of the studio!

2.00 pm. Marcus record some takes again with the new adjusted guitar and they are sounding correct now, finally. Joakim grab hold of the bass and we start to track the first take of the day.

4.00 pm. 3 songs are down and we’re feeling the hunger eating it’s way out of our bodies. Food time! Frozen microwave stuff containing Koldolmar and Fårbiffar with Potatismos and it was pretty good for a dish that usually lacks taste and inspiration.

8.00 pm. Holy basses! Joakim just finished his LAST take on the recording. He’s now done with all thirteen songs and it sound so f*in fat we all lost our pants listening to them!

Songs recorded:

– Gate Guard
– “obecity boys” (work title)
– Killed Stuffed, Hung On The Wall
– “conqueror” (work title)
– Alien Terror
– “fighting the fear” (work title)
