Soul's Chains

A voice Of Human Degeneration since 2005 Soul S Chains - Soul s Chains’s project was born in Modena in the early months of 2005. After little line-up changes and the first sound experimentation, Ephesian Zap (founder and guitarist) & Orpheus (co founder and voice) completed the band calling Nihlium (second guitar); Luca Setti (drums), Hel (bass) and Muriel (keyboards/female voice). Firstly, the band mixed gothic and extreme metal in their work ; lyrics were highly inspired by Lacrimosa and Cradle of Filth and that made this young band to collect a considerable success in the emilian area. The first EP was realized in 2007 and it was named as the band name “Soul’s Chains”. Seven songs including Poison PT1 - Running Between Black Flowers - Forever and Never, were extremely appreciated by fans both during live performances and on web sites. The band grew up, achieving remarkable positions in musical contests and became visible between (the) bands in the area. From 2008 there were changes of members and only the two guitarrists remained: Ephesian Zap and Nihilium, from the original formation. Ephesian Zap, however, continues the songwritings for the next album, while playning in other musical projects such as Gardenia, Ephesian Zap Project and Scarlet Cuptea. From the latter Zap met Nicholas, who after a few months joined the project "Soul's Chains" with Vehuel and Mr. Superfuck, an old friend of EZ. In 2010 was released "Darkness Behind Humanity". The new formation was composed by Ephesian Zap and Nihilium, guitarists, Nicholas became bassist, Vehuel K at drums and the lineup was completed by Mr. Superfuck as vocalist. The great harmony of this new formation, offered a more aggressive and darkest sound. Themes deal with: religion, wars, introspection, power, hardness of living..also maintaining a gothic/romantic vein visible in the first work. The album sold rather well..but a big curse lived on this band; Mr Superfuck left the band forced by what he denounced in his songs. Ephesian Zap decided not to searching other singers but to play and sing The band began to compose songs for the next album but in the end of the summer 2011 Nicholas and Vehuel left for personal reasons, the same was for Nihilium, tired of the numerous changes. After 2 years , and after some new musical experiences ( with abaddon and other bands) Ephesian Zap holding on the project as "One Man Band" published "Disharmony"; a double CD containing 10 unreleased songs and a new remastered version of Darkness Behind Humanity. Themes of Disharmony continue on the line of the previous CD while music gains a half baroque/half avant-guarde Dark and Aggresive sound. ; everything made by a large use of keyboards and guitars. In Disharmony there's also a collaboration with Jo Narcissa Friend of Ephesian Zap, as a maker of some lyrics. Once again in 2014 Vehuel come back as drummer followed by Syton on Bass and Bennez on guitar, after som gigs, on 2015 the chains started the 10 anniversary tour in some countries outside Europe, in the meantime the name of the band was changed to “SOUL S CHAINS” and E.Z started to write new music for the new album “Vis Ira Maeror” that will be out in 2018 | S O U L S C H A I N S | ►Symphonic Black Metal Sperimentale◄ A Voice Of Human Degeneration » Contacts : ephesianzap@gmail.com
