Sölicitör - Seattle screaming banshee speed metal anniversary

October 25, 2019: Sölicitör - EP 2019 (2019), 12" vinyl, Gates of Hell Records (Reissue) [The Metal Archives shows May 19, 2019 as the original/earliest release date.]

On The Metal Archives, HighwayCorsair, October 16th, 2019 writes, in part: "When Substratum broke up, I mourned. Though they were only around for a few short years, they put out three full length albums, a couple of demos, and a couple of splits – not to mention that they put on a hell of a live show. Things seemed to be on the rise for the band when out of nowhere they broke up with the sudden departure of guitarist and riffwriter Max. Fortunately for fans, Substratum’s loss doesn’t mean the loss of all of the musicians involved, and both guitarist Matt Vogan and vocalist Amy Lee Carlson have carried on and started a new band – Sölicitör. Sölicitör riffs as hard or harder than Substratum ever did, delivering an absolutely blistering dose of classic speed metal with the joy and ferocity you’d want of any biker metal squadron. Though the band can indeed slow down when they want to, they almost never do, and carry consistently through the short play length of EP 2019 at a marauding romp that sometimes speeds up into near thrash territories."
