Soulpreacher is a progressive doom metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina USA. Influenced by Pink Floyd, My Dying Bride, and Anathema, their music focuses on similar themes of isolation and desperation.

Biography

Soulpreacher was formed in 1998 by Michael Avery, Anthony Staton, Mark Schindler, and Robb Hewlett. Their early sound focused primarily on hateful psychedelic doom metal. Mark Schindler parted ways early on, and Brian Watson was added to the lineup taking over on drums.

In 1999, Soulpreacher signed with the now defunct Man's Ruin Records founded by Frank Kozik, and soon released their debut studio album "Sonic Witchcraft". The band went on to release the follow-up album "When the Black Sunn Rises...the Holy Men Burn" in 2000 on the Colorado label Game Two/Berserker Records.

Following Michael Avery's departure to law school in 2004, the band added Chris Hill (formally of Gods in Waiting, Sorrow Bequest) and Trent Giardino (formally of Shadowlore). With the addition of the two new guitarists, the band's sound grew darker, and more melancholic.

In 2004, the band released the "Lost Words Demo". Soulpreacher is currently recording their third studio album due out in 2007.
