SoulHealer - melodic heavy rock made in Finland.
The foundation for what was to become SoulHealer was laid in late 2009.
After a few line-up changes, the last of them almost directly after the recordings, they released their first EP Dreamcatcher.
The first 300 copies of the EP sold out in less than a fortnight which was a whole lot quicker than the band or anybody else had anticipated.
After an EP launching gig SoulHealer did shows around the Kainuu area, always with a huge response from their crowd. At the end of 2010 SoulHealer enjoyed their first international appearance in Kostomuksha Russia at a local festival Nord Session, invited there by none other than the mayor of the city of Kostomuksha.
In February 2011 the band began to record their first album "The Kings
of Bullet Alley", which was released on 17th of July , and received almost
only great reviews from the press. The following tour "The Bullet Alley
Road Show" was a great success and brought the boys to places in Finland,
they have never been before. One of the most memorable shows of the tour
was the appearance at Sotkamon Syke festival opening for Amorphis and
Tarot among other big names.
At the beginning of 2012 SoulHealer started to write new songs for a
follow up for their debut album. Rough mixes of 3 new songs "Wicked
Moon","Never Turn My Back On You" and "Into The Fire" have been put online
for listening pleasure for the fans as those have already found their way
into the setlist of current shows. One highlight in 2012 will be the first
concert ever in Germany at the Warmup Show of the Headbangers Open Air at
the Lauschbar in Itzehoe on 25th July.
