Soulpreacher is an American progressive doom metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. Influenced by Pink Floyd, My Dying Bride, and Anathema, their music focuses on similar themes of isolation and desperation.

Biography[]

Soulpreacher was formed in 1998 by Michael Avery, Anthony Staton, Mark Schindler, and Robb Hewlett. Their early sound focused primarily on hateful psychedelic doom metal. Mark Schindler parted ways early on, and Brian Watson was added to the lineup taking over on drums.

In 1999, Soulpreacher signed with the now defunct Man's Ruin Records founded by Frank Kozik, and soon released their debut studio album . The band went on to release the follow-up album in 2000 on the Colorado label .

Following Michael Avery's departure to law school in 2004, the band added Chris Hill and Trent Giardino. With the addition of the two new guitarists, the band's sound grew darker, and more melancholic.^{[citation needed]}

In 2004, the band released the Lost Words Demo.

In 2012, Soulpreacher founding members Anthony Staton and Michael Avery reunited to create Horseskull, with drummer Eric B. and bassist Joseph Pautz. Pautz was later replaced by Soulpreacher bassist Robb Hewlett.
