Displaying many differing qualities all lending to emotive, intelligent and soulful music Solais possess a truly unique sound. Melding the free-form brutality and technical elements of progressive metal with the subtlety and imagery of the ambient soundscapes crafted meticulously to convey the feelings of loss and despair - every song written is a thousand levels deep into the heart of human emotion.

Vocalist/Guitarist/Composer Rhys Grimley formed Solais in mid 2004 with a group of friends. After a promising start, there began a string of setbacks and soon enough, Rhys found himself as the only member of Solais. A reformation with one particular member remained fruitless and plans were once again put on hold. After nearly 3 years, a recording has finally produced, showing the reasons why Rhys has stuck with the project for so long. Rehearsals have begun, with 5 full-time members (Josh, Paul, Marty, Shake and Rhys). Solais plans to be gigging in the very near future.

Rhys Grimley: Vocals/Guitar
Nik Matviko: Guitar
Nick Wilson: Keyboards
Matt Jordan: Bass
Shekar Thaivarayan: Drums

Hey guys - just noticed the DT influence... Ocean Machine is hands down my favorite album of all time. What are you guys up to? Gigging? CD ready? Has Devy heard this yet? You should send it to him.

I am blown away. Finally, I've found some new music where I can just listen to it and disappear. I will be buying the CD, I will be going to the show, I will be purchasing the merchandise. Front to back brilliance - there is not a single dull moment. 10/5

Cool Man , good playing , fresh style , i like i like , you should mix the vocals a bit louder in the song "Catching Pieces" because you have a good voice but besides that ( but thats a very picky judgement), very nice indeed.
