Biography Soulsteeler

Soulsteelers flame was enlightened in the year 2001 by Jeroen Dhondt (guitars), Raf Nijs (keyboards) and Ken Van Steenbergen (bass).

In 2003 drummer Luc Seeuws joined the band. In this line-up the band recorded a first demo “Cosmic Fire”.

With the arrival of singer Johan Debruyn in 2004 the sound was complete, so the time was right to record a new demo called “Victims of Power”.

After the release of our demo in November 2004 we "gigged" through the year 2005 until januari 2006.
We decided it was time to start writing new songs, performances were set on hold and a quieter period began for the band. Looking back maybe not our best idea, because in summer of 2006 bass player Ken (joined Black Jack and Killer) and drummer Luc (now in Crusader) left Soulsteeler. Instead of calling it a day, we (Raf, Johan and Jeroen) decided to go on.
In October 2006 we were glad to announce that the line-up was complete again. Bass player Sus Kaethoven and drummer Bart Janssen joined forces and gave a fresh shot to the band.

Line-up 2007:
Johan Debruyn (Vocals)
Jeroen Dhondt (Lead & rhythm guitars)
Raf Nijs (Keyboards)
Sus Kaethoven (Bass)
Bart Janssen (Drums)

In June 2007, after a whole lot of rehearsals, the Hype studio’s were booked for the recording of the MiniCD “In A Glow Of Crimson Red”.
This MCD is released under the bands own management and contains five tracks

:
1. Break down the Walls
2. Somnyphobia
3. Prelude to Insanity
4. Crimson Red
5. Destiny’s at Hand

The music of Soulsteeler can be described as a blend of Power- and Progressive Metal, spiced with lots of melody and elements of good old Heavy Metal.
