SOULHEALER is made up of 5 Finns dedicated to melodic heavy rock. Founded in late 2009, they released their first EP “Dreamcatcher” in the summer of 2010; the initial run of 300 copies sold out in just 14 days. On July 17, 2011, the first full album “The Kings of Bullet Alley” was released independently, showcasing the band's quality and potential. And now it’s finally here, the 2nd album “Chasing The Dream” will be released on May 10, 2013.
The band says about the new album, “We are more than happy with the result. Anyone who loved our previous work will be blown away by ‘Chasing The Dream’.” The perfect sound was ensured by Janne Tolsa in his Note-On Studio, who mixed and mastered the entire CD. The stunning cover artwork comes from Timo Wuerz. A first listening impression of the new album is provided by the song “Don’t Look Back,” which can be downloaded completely and for free on Soundcloud.
