Solace Within

"Solace Within is clearly the loudest and fastest band of the night. The announcement of the metalcore band from Hengelo is cut off by the loud cheers of the crowd." "Jozef (who recently became a father) presents himself as a true frontman and shows hes there. Solace Within puts down a solid set for the Metal fan." "The loudest band kicks off, Solace Within. Thight heavy guitar riffs and lots of grunts." "With his wireless set he uses the whole hall to exhibit his nimble-fingered riffs. From the balcony he stands as a true rock god scattering notes down on the audience. Great to see. It is a true metal circus with Solace Within." "The new song is nailed severly. A beautiful end of a colorful show. " Obviously Solace Within isnt a band your parents would like to listen to. SWs agressive songs arent for the fainthearted. Fast drumming and lots double bass gets your heart pumping, as do the fast and heavy guitar riffs. Jozefs unique and insane screaming makes your hair stand on end. Once starting out as an alternative rockband, SW took a u-turn when the final lineup change occured in 2009. Metal-, Emo- and Hardcore all inspired SW in writing the heaviest of songs. SW works hard, but always enthousiastically, on establishing itself within the scene. Something which is already bearing fruit. SW played shows with locally well-known bands like When All Light Dies, Kudra Mata, Deadbeat and Troops of Doom. SW was the first metalband to have played in the Escape in Amsterdam. In May 2010 SW recorded a demo which was well recieved. After a great show in Atak Enschede, SW was asked to participate in Winter Offensief 2010 in Enschede. SW won first prize and recieved 12 hours of studiotime with Tom Meier (known for recording Deadbeat, Treatment and Roadkill 55). A very welcomed "extra", since the band was also asked to be part of a special project by We are the Artillery called We are the Troops. A dozen bands will record an EP of which 1 song will feature on a splitcd. All bands will join forces on 1 hardcore anthem which will also be on the cd. SW starts recording in Januari 2011. Besides recording and writing new songs, SW will keeps on focussing on perfoming live, bringing the party to you! So we are on a break. No shows anymore.
