Soulbender
Soulbender was founded by
Queensryche
guitarist Michael Wilton, as an outlet to perform the harder
music that his main band has gradually drifted away from
in recent times.
The resulting 2004 self-titled album is a low-key affair, very much
a heavy rock album with a slight laid-back feel,
perhaps best described as post-alternative
metal with just a hint of later grunge (possibly due to the
influence of former
My Sister's Machine vocalist Nick Pollock).
A hardened Queensryche fan might hear some familiar riffing
from Wilton, but in general this is far from a Queensryche-sounding
album.
Wilton stated that Soulbender is an ongoing band and not just
a solo project, though with his continuing work in QR, this band
will probably exist as a band only during QR downtime.
A decade later, four new tracks were recorded and packaged with the
first album remastered, released as Soulbender II.
