About Me


It has become increasingly difficult with current rock groups to establish a link with their origins. Where is the “dirty” sound? Where is the free-style without constraints? Where is the thirst to play, no matter what it costs? If it was lost, Black Soap just found it!
Black Soap, started by Karim and David in 2005 in the basement of a Parisian cafeteria, quickly move to Belgium where they rapidly made an impact on the local scene…the fruit of a long history in love with rock music!
It’s great to hear Black Soap’s epic style, with the inspiring Karim as "guitar hero", Gerald (also in Soulbleed) with his low rolling riffs and David torturing his drums. Black Soap have recently been joined by Fabrice as rhythm guitarist.
Their sound is a very direct rock, with grunge and garage influences, with keys returning us to the punk era! Impossible to remain still in front of such power, rate, rhythm and volume, pieces delivered with rage inside! There is continuously the impression of being in a car speeding towards a wall, while saying to oneself: "this is crazy, go faster!" The proof of their misdeeds in 2006 came in the form of a very promising demo.
... so, Are You Ready To Die?
