Soulpreacher
Soulpreacher is an American progressive doom metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina. Influenced by Pink Floyd, My Dying Bride, and Anathema, their music often explores isolation and desperation. They formed in 1998 with Michael Avery, Anthony Staton, Mark Schindler, and Robb Hewlett. After Schindler left, Brian Watson joined on drums.
In 1999 they signed with Man’s Ruin Records and released Sonic Witchcraft, followed by When the Black Sunn Rises...the Holy Men Burn in 2000 on Game Two/Berserker Records. Avery left for law school in 2004; Chris Hill and Trent Giardino joined on guitars, making their sound darker. They released the Lost Words Demo in 2004.
In 2012 Staton and Avery formed Horseskull with other members; Hewlett later joined Soulpreacher on bass. The current members are Anthony Staton, Robb Hewlett, Chris Hill, Trent Giardino, and Marc Campbell. Their website is soulpreacher.net.
