Solarisis was formed in October 1995 in Enschede, The Netherlands
by Gijs van Ouwerkerk. It
has been a one-man band from the start, by conscious decision. March
1996 saw the release of the project's first work, Ecliptica, a 6
track demo of melodic death metal which was primarily sold amongst
family and friends. Its successor, Illumination, followed soon after
in October 1996, displaying a more atmospheric style of modern death
metal. This demo was exposed to a wider audience and gained Solarisis
a humble underground reputation through some very positive reviews.Now,
after a delay of about one year and a half due to having to find
a way to record the new material and a label to release it, the
full-length CD Holland Is Made Of Tofu is about to be released on
Morbid Records, Germany. The new album contains all new songs and
its variety of styles and the diversity of its influences make it
nearly impossible to categorize in the pigeonholes that exist in
the current metal scene. After the release of the new album, Solarisis
will aim to play some European shows with the help of some session
musicians.
