Soul Corner
Official Website
Soul Corner is a Finnish alternative rock band consisting of four ol' crazy rock and rollers who all have a long history of playing all types of music with different rock bands.
The band has published independently two long plays so far: Twilight Report (2006) and Partners in Crime (2008). Both albums contain a mix of music styles dominated by screaming guitars and insane vocals.
Some describe the band as "alternative metal" influenced by acts such as KORN, which may have a seed of truth, especially when it comes to the attitude of creating ever-surprising and non-compromising and heavy tunes. However, as is the case with Korn, Primus and several other "soulmates", Soul Corner's music cannot be categorized under any specific genre.
