Biography
Solus
Ipse formed in Newcastle in the summer of 2001, after a few
name and line up changes they arrived at the Solus Ipse of
today.
They
formed the band with the intention of performing their own
material that was inspired by the music they were all listening
to. With influences ranging from Metallica to Cypress Hill
and Faith no More to Spineshank their writing style sits well
in the heavier side of alternative metal. With each member
of the band bringing their own influences to the fray their
sound has taken these influences and molded it into something
new.
After
a long period of writing and perfecting a large number of
songs, Solus Ipse began gigging in August of 2003. With regular
gigs and practicing they have become a very tight live band
and prolific song writers. They put some of these songs down
on their first demo shortly after their first series of gigs
at the end of August 2003.
In
the last year Solus Ipse have improved tremendously as a live
band and as individual musicians, as well as gaining more
fans in the local music scene. These improvements can be seen
in their new material, which is more diverse and ambitious,
making their older songs seem immature in comparison.
With
a number of high profile gigs coming up and a new demo in
the works the future is looking bright for Solus Ipse.
