About Me

Sol Asunder is devoted to making epic, brutal music while not polluting the overall sound with unjustified dissonance and self-indulgent, pretentious creativity. There are intense elements of death, black and melodic metal established throughout Sol Asunder composition. We play what we like; There is no compromise. Though the band does not like to descend into genres, it's most accurately classified as brutal, melodic metal.

Sol Asunder continues to build recognition from its inception in 2003. Armed with humble home recordings, and extreme live performances, we continue to grow a base of awesome, dedicated fans. Over the last few years, our resume has grown considerably: In our first year, we produced a music video for "Hate Fueled Anger" (available in the videos section) which helped us spread our sound in a visual medium, which was a great first step.
As an unsigned band, Sol Asunder has supported such bands live as Origin, Deeds of Flesh, Severed Savior, Impaled, Dark Tranquility, and Himsa in our first years. Our most recent big win was landing a spot on the soundtrack for "Tony Hawk Downhill Jam", one of the first games to be released for the Nintendo Wii (released 4th quarter 2006). In 2004 we came out blaring with our first studio EP release, "Asunder The Surface" which features 5 songs from old recordings unreleased. This upped the ante, and after a year of great responses from zines and websites, we came together with some songs old and new for our 2006 album "Horribly Human".
With a vast catalog of unrecorded songs, we have laid out the framework and music for the next two full-length albums. We are currently in search for a label to help us move mighty metal forward!
