Soulburn is a Dutch death metal/black-doom band.
History Soulburn formed after the dissolution of Dutch death metal band Asphyx in the mid-90s, when founding members Eric Daniels (guitars) and Bob Bagchus (drums) looked for a separate outlet for their Bathory and Venom admiration. After a demo and the Feeding On Angels debut album via Century Media Records in 1998, which featured singer and bassist Wannes Gubbels (Pentacle), Soulburn disbanded when Asphyx reformed and released On the Wings of Inferno in 2000 with the same line-up.Review at Rock hard
Sixteen years after their debut album, Soulburn reformed with a new line-up featuring Eric Daniels (guitars) and Bob Bagchus (drums), with Twan van Geel (Legion Of The Damned) as vocalist/bassist and Remco Kreft (Nailgun Massacre) as second guitarist to record their second album, The Suffocating Darkness. It was recorded with Harry Wijering (Harrow Productions) and mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios. The front cover was designed by Timo Ketola (Watain, Deathspell Omega, etc.) and additional art was provided by Roberto Toderico (Asphyx, etc.). A video clip for the song “In Suffocating Darkness”, off The Suffocating Darkness, is available online.Review at Powermetal.de
