The finish melodic hopeful SOULHEALER soon after the release of the song "Wicked moon" on the Metal Crusade-Sampler (Heavy Magazine) signed a worldwide Deal with Pure Legend Records. SOULHEALER play great melodic Heavy Metal without clichee or kitsch. So be curious on the follow up to "The Kings of the Bullet Alley". First listening impressions are very promising. "Wicked moon" will be the first song on the new album and the Debut will be first time officially released on Inverse Records and is available in our webshop!

The band´s statement:

"We are excited about the deal. For us this is a big step forward. We think, that Pure Legends is the perfect home for us, and we are totally happy about the coming co-operation. And we are confident, that we can present a killer release to the label and to our fans with the coming album."

SoulHealer announces Lineup change!

"Teemu Aho is forced to quit his active commitment as bass player in SoulHealer for personal reasons. But he will continue to be a part of the family as webmaster and wherever his help is needed. Although the band was hit hard with this decision, they didn’t lose any time in looking for a replacement. Sami Mikkonen thought of his best old friend Pasi Laakkonen, who has a Garage Rock Band running with Alpha Indigo at the moment. Both already played together in some cover band projects some 10 years ago, and for the last time about 4 years ago. Pasi was invited for an audition, where he left no doubt that he his the right guy at the right place at the right time. So we welcome Pasi Laakkonen as the new bass player in SoulHealer. He will give his live debut already at the next show on 7th September at Bar Bäkkäri in Helsinki. Beside that SoulHealer are working hard on the follow up for their debut album “The Kings Of Bullet Alley”. The song writing process is going great, and as usual every new song will be tested in the live situation. So you should not be surprised to hear some new songs on any upcoming shows. Only tracks that work live will find their way on the next SoulHealer Album. And the band is confident to have it ready and finished for a release in spring 2013 through Pure Legend Records." Tommy Schmelz, SOULHEALER Management.

SoulHealer Have Entered the Studio!

For the next few weeks the studio of sound engineer Teemu Ojalehto in Kajaani will be the home of SoulHealer. In several sessions the band will record the follow up for their debut album “The Kings Of Bullet Alley”, which received almost only great reviews by the press, and also the fan reaction was more than positive. So the expectations for the next album are high, as it will be also the first release through Pure Legend Records. SoulHealer signed a worldwide deal with the German label in June 2012. But the band does not feel any pressure, as they are more than confident that the new song material is not only as strong as “The Kings Of Bullet Alley”, but maybe even stronger. A release date for the still unnamed album is not set yet, but you can expect it to be out in spring 2013.

Album News from SoulHealer

"One year has passed again, and this was a really great one for SOULHEALER. One highlight was for sure our first show in Germany at the warmup show of the Headbangers Open Air, where we had a blast. And we hope and promise to be back in Deutschland as soon as possible. It was also great to share the stage with our heroes from ZERO NINE at Lankafest. And last but not least, we signed a worldwide deal with PURE LEGEND RECORDS, a sublabel of the German record label Pure Steel Records, last summer, where we will release our coming album.

"And here we can tell you, that we have finished our studio work there last weekend. All songs are recorded, and now Janne Tolsa will take care of mixing and mastering everything at Note On studio. We are more than happy with our recording sessions and how everything turned out. And we think that we have produced a killer album, with some of the strongest SOULHEALER songs ever. We know almost all bands say this about their newest album, but this is the feeling we have at the moment, and we want to share it with you. Well, you will be able to make your own opinion pretty soon.

"We are looking forward for another great SOULHEALER year 2013, and we hope you are doing too."

The new SOULHEALER - album "Chasing The Dream" is now available in our webshop. Safe 1. Euro during the preorder time. The official releasedate of the album is the 10th of May 2013.
Lex from Metalglory is very impressed about the album - he rated 10/10 points!!!
"This instinctive safety for high class, simple, compelling and yet so unobtrusive melodies combined with a breathtaking passion and feeling in the music I have not heard for years. SoulHealer are delivering music at the highest level and I’m sure that the album won’t get out of your mind for quite a long time. Even more, the album has immediately joined my personal classics of the past 25 years. Just forget one moment the mags with their colored adverts and great promotional texts and mark the 10th May in your calendar very fat, because this Melodic Metal / Hard Rock album is an absolute MUST-HAVE!!"

The release date of the new SoulHealer album "Bear The Cross" on CD is October 17th 2014. The preorder phase will start on October 3rd 2014 in our webshop.

Formed in 2009 SoulHealer from Finland made their debut with their second album "Chasing The Dream" on our sub label Pure Legend Records.

And now, only a bit more than one year later, we can proudly announce the third strike "Bear The Cross"! And the quintet does not leave their chosen path. The guys from the north still indulge Heavy Metal in the very melodic style, in the likes of happy harmonies from STRATOVARIUS, HELLOWEEN and similar bands, with filigree, sometimes double lead, guitar work, combined with unique and trenchant vocals. Most times staying in mid-tempo or using riffs inspired by ACCEPT ("The Viper's Kiss"), they don`t hesitate to push the pedal with some more speedy songs ("Unleash The Beast", "Fall From Grace", “Revealed”). On “Bear The Cross” it was again Janne Tolso in the "Note-On"-Studio in Kuopio, who gave the new album the same differentiated transparent sound, which already worked perfectly on the previous record. And also the cover artwork was made one more time from one of the most famous artists in that genre: Timo Wuerz.

So if you liked "Chasing The Dream" the new album will be an obligation!

Kai Vainionpää from Alpha Indigo will step in until Jani is back on track. SoulHealer would like to respect Jani’s privacy, so there will be no detailed info about his condition.

SoulHealer have also started a Crowdfunding Campaign for touring plans outside their home country:

The band says:
“As you know, we have only played in Finland so far, with some very few exceptions. We also know that we have fans in the whole world. And of course we want to give them the experience of the magic at a SoulHealer show too. The main problem that it did not happen until now, is the that touring and travelling costs money and the budget for a band like us is tight. So we came up with the idea that our loyal fans could help us out of the dilemma. And we started this Crowdfunding Campaign to raise some money for touring outside of Finland. Just check it out on Indiegogo

SOULHEALER – Video for brand-new song “Touch The Sky” released & free download!

Finnish Melodic Metal Band SoulHealer has released a video for the brand-new song “Touch The Sky”. The track was recorded during autumn 2015 in Kajaani, Nurmes and Porvoo, and was mixed and mastered at Dyne Engine Studio, Italy by Manuele Pesaresi. It features Kai Vainionpää on drums, who already replaced Jani Nyman for live concerts in early 2015. As the return of Jani is very unlikely, we welcome Kai as a full member to the SoulHealer Family. The video was filmed during the triumphant return of SoulHealer to Nord Session Festival in Kostomuksha, Russia, headlining both nights on November 27th and 28th 2015. The video was edited by Marko Karvonen and Esa Haverinen.



Celebrating their 5th Anniversary in 2015, SoulHealer have also a present for their fans. As a big Thank You for their support, and as Christmas present you can download “Touch The Sky” for free at this link:
