BLAK SOLSTIS is the latest addition in Georgia to the genre of Gothic Hard Rock. With imagery like Danzig and Celtic Frost in their cover art, BLAK SOLSTIS lets it listeners know that it is not making fun of anything but takes the kaos magik and darkness it conveys very, very seriously. Once known as TEMPLA SECLORUS (an adaptation of 80's goth groups such as Depeche Mode and Fields of the Nephilim) BLAK SOLSTIS decided that they could convey their love for all things gothic and alchemical through rock music and metal roots rather than the dying and currently unpopular sounds of their 80's predecessors. In hopes of building a serious fan base, Gorchymyn Stormbringer (now just 'Gorchymyn') has chosen lead guitarist Ahnrefn von Bloodstar (now just Ahnrefn) and former SCI-FU member Secondhand Electrik on drums, and has built BLAK SOLSTIS into a rocking powerhouse of sound. With catchy, flighty riffs that rip and grate into the depths of your soul, making you want to fly and die at the same time, BLAK SOLSTIS weaves songs that stay with you...some might say haunt you. With song titles like LAND OF ENDLESS COLD and DIRGE it is no wonder that this band's future looks bright. This band prides itself on being completely a NEW sound in the genre of Gothic Hard Rock. Gorchymyn, when asked who he thinks the band sounds like, said, "We sound like Blak Solstis...the band that we are...we are not trying to mimick or copy other bands styles or riffs...we rely on our own inspiration and the appearance of kaos and order in our studio time and practices." Based in the pretty much forgotten town of Hazlehurst, Georgia, BLAK SOLSTIS could rise like a phoenix from the ashes and take the world by storm.
