Soul Embraced is an American Christian melodic death metal band from Little Rock, Arkansas. It was originally a side project for Rocky Gray and David Sroczynski.

History

[edit]

Formed in 1997 as a side project of drummer David Sroczynski and William "Rocky" Gray from Shredded Corpse, the band dissolved after recording one song for a metal compilation in 1998. Gray reformed the band with fellow Living Sacrifice member Lance Garvin (drums) and Chad Moore (vocals).

When Gray and Garvin weren't busy with Living Sacrifice, they worked with Charlie T. West on their death metal side project. The band released an EP (The Fleshless EP), and three albums (For the Incomplete, This Is My Blood, Immune) over five years. For the Incomplete was re-released in 2003 by independent label Blood and Ink Records.[2]

In 2002, the band was part of a sampler for Tarantula Promotions, Arachnid Terror Sampler, which featured bands such as Sanctifica, Tortured Conscience, Frosthardr and Frost Like Ashes.[3]

Evanescence's song "Tourniquet" is a cover of the Soul Embraced song "My Tourniquet". From 2003 to 2007, Gray was Evanescence's drummer as well as playing with numerous other bands. Gray said in an interview after the release of Immune that the band planned on releasing two to three more albums, and in 2006 announced new members Jack Wiese on guitar and bassist Jeff Bowie. In June 2007, Wiese left the band to spend more time on other projects, and was replaced with Devin Castle (who is also in Mourningside with Gray, Bowie, and Wiese)

Soul Embraced released Dead Alive in April 2008.

Soul Embraced stated on their Myspace that they would "continue with a new guitarist next year when we get ready to record the new record". After 10 years and three records, Soul Embraced left Solid State Records on amicable terms.[4] Mythos was released on Rottweiler Records.[5]

In 2014, it was announced that former drummer, Lance Garvin, would rejoin with the new lineup of Rocky Gray (lead guitar), Chad Moore (vocals), Jon Dunn (bass), and Cody Smith (rhythm guitar).[6] In 2017, the band stated that they had a new album coming up.[7] The band was working on a new tour and announced that former bassist Jeff Bowie had Soul Embraced while also remaining with their labelmates Becoming Saints.[8]
