Solitary Confinement - Skyline
All of the original members went to school with one another. They met up at their local (and current) rehearsal space and started jamming out various covers. It was in the spring of 2011, when they were in year 10 that they decided to form a legitimate band under the name 'Solitary Confinement'. Following into the autumn months of 2013, a combination of band issues and in-differences drove to the and to an unfortunate break-up. They did however, all remain friends throughout this period regardless of the band situation, but putting an end to a career of three years. This however was only a short-lived event, February 1st, 2014 marked a brighter time for the band as they decided to put their differences aside and having time (five month interval) to clear their heads, they reformed, back under the name Solitary Confinement, to continue from exactly where they left off.
Shortly after reforming, the band page jumped 250 likes in a matter of days, which say the band - astonished them all, but no surprise – people know good metal when they hear it! The band are currently writing/preparing material for the studio, featuring studio session Vlogs and teaser demos coming soon, with other bright aspirations on the none-too distant horizon. Solitary Confinement did at one point change their name to Skyline but since then decided to revert back to their old name.
“The single is powerful and shows great imagination with meaty anthemic lures, the elements working perfectly well together - it just goes to show that you are never quite alone where Solitary Confinement are concerned!”
Skyline
This is one highly exciting track that has breathed new life into the lungs of a band that I have certainly missed seeing live. The mesmerising weighty grooves of metal riffery, can still be experienced through-out the track by Lash and Pat as well as a captivating vocal from Ryan. It comes together exceptionally well and highlighting the changes the band have gone through since its hay day and humble beginnings. This sound is meatier and hosts a more imposing musical texture with stronger bass hooks from Connor and offering a good slab of robust drumming from Lewis into the mix too!
To Sum up:
Solitary Confinement have really blossomed since performing live as young kids at my Helrazer event back in 2011, and they were pretty epic then! Now just as the band have matured, so has their music, but without losing the raw side of what makes them an interesting band to experience. Solitary Confinement have experimented with sounds such as thrash, metal core, hard core, and groove and finally decided that with the bands maturity and varying musical tastes to settle on progressive with hints of Djent. It has proved to be the right direction for them and will no doubt gain the band further recognition as they start gigging again and get out there once more.
The single is powerful and shows great imagination with meaty anthemic lures, the elements working perfectly well together - it just goes to show that you are never quite alone where Solitary Confinement are concerned. I can thoroughly recommend this band and if you have never seen them live before then that treat awaits you. It’s all for the taking and Solitary Confinement know just how far to take it and that’s all the way! Superb!
A comeback gig is in the offing for the summer, so I am informed – Can’t effing wait!
