July '08 Mini-Tour Thank Yous

Solace of Requiem would like to thank everyone involved with their Mini-Tour this July. A very special thanks goes out to the club owners and promoters who were foolish enough to ask SOR to visit their town! If we forget to list your name, it's because we were too high to remember you and not because you weren't important or appreciated. So anyway, here's our thank you list:

Juan from 5th Dawn and Waco Jesus. Thanks so much for letting us eat your food and wash our asses at your home. Just glad you still had a house for us to go to after that storm! Luke and Weenus from 7 year existence, as well as Susie the queen of Metal and liquor. Thanks for your Illinois hospitality. Shawn and the fellas from SandSkin and everyone at Shea Riley's in Omaha Nebraska. Thanks for having us in your homes!

Tim, Jimzilla and everyone at the Root Of All Evil Radio Show. Thank you guys so much for the interview and having us in the studio while we were in Minneapolis. You guys are awesome! (R.I.P. Earl Root) The guys in Jaundice, we will need to do this again sometime soon, after we drink our memories away of this last time!

The great people at Racers Edge, Waskos Campground, Club Underground, The Landing and everywhere else we played. Indian Wade (AKA Chief Bum A Smoke) Aaron Lott (AKA Andy) and the guys from Enshrined. Aaron and Skard Inc. John with Cavitation. Chris Young (a true friend) NYDM for all their promotional support. And all the fans and bands we had the pleasure to hang out with on the road. Thank You All ! ! ! !

The 2008 Demo Tracks Have Not Been Released
The New Material Is Coming Soon....

Solace of Requiem has teamed up with producer Andy Classen in 2008 to usher in a new era of Death Metal. While others in the genre have strived to become more technical on their instruments, SOR has strived to become more technical with their song writing. There is no doubt that musicians should be good on their instruments but the technical aspects of music should not be limited to the instrumentation alone.

Solace of Requiem has created a sound in 2008 that is not only instrumentally technical but is also technical in structure. The main focus for SOR is to properly orchestrate the emotions between lyrics and music, while maintaining a high level of technicality in instrumentation and composition. The band has blended together Death Metal, Black Metal, Doom, Thrash, Jazz, Rock and many other forms of music to create an extremely diverse sound that is incomparable to other bands.

Thank Yous

Solace of Requiem would like to thank all of the fanzines, ezines and metal magazines across the globe for all of their support. A special thanks to Metal Maniacs in the USA and BW&BK in Canada for covering SOR from day 1. Radio play has also been a huge factor in promoting the CDs. The band would like to thank all of the radio and webradio stations currently playing their tracks around the world; especially XM radio and our hometown favorite Shelley at FM99 WNOR (98.7 FM) who played them first.

Supporting local metal is a must in our society. It becomes even more important with death metal and black metal. Do your part to support the underground metal scene wherever you are.

Support local metal in Tidewater by listening to the HomeGrown Show - Tuesday nights at 11pm
Hosted by Shelley on FM99 WNOR
