May 13, 2011: On May 10, 2011 Soulless issued a cease and desist order to Earache Records regarding their upcoming US release of a UK band calling themselves “The Soulless”. Commented Soulless front man Jim Lippucci: “It's quite unfortunate that it has come to this. We notified the band months ago upon learning of their intent to use the name “The Soulless” that this name was pretty much Identical to ours. We were assured that Earache would be in contact with us to remedy the situation, but that call never came. We have nothing but respect for young bands and the struggle we all go through to make this music. At the same time though, we expect bands and labels to perform their due diligence and make sure that the intellectual property of others is respected. Through a simple internet search they would have ascertained that we have been performing, touring and releasing music in the US as Soulless for close to 15 years. Simply adding the word “The” does not change that fact. It pains us that the label that brought us some of metals most legendary releases from bands like Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, Carcass and so many others shows such blatant disregard for our rights. Litigation is the last thing we want at this time. We are a metal band and would prefer to focus on making music. At the same time, we have no choice but to fight for the protection of our intellectual property. We have struggled for years to establish our name and reputation and we will defend it with the same ferocity and fervor that we put into making music.” Ocotber 10, 2010 Hails Freaks! We figured it was about time for a little update, so here ya go... January
23, 2010: Greetings Ragers. We're thrilled to announce that we just recently finished
tracking the drums for our impending opus, tentatively entitled "Fixin'
Wagons & Holdin' Jaws; The Fourth Charge of The Serpent Reaper: Vol
3 - Beyond the Forbidden Zone" The drums were recorded at producer
Ben Schigel's Spider Studios in Strongsville, Ohio. The band will soon
be hunkering down to the confines of Soulless bass master David Johnson's
Bad Back Studios & Monster Metal Armory to record guitar and bass
tracks. March

June 7, 2002 The band is extremely pleased to announce that they have signed to the Japanese metal foundry known as Worldchaos Production. Worldchaos has been responsible for spreading great thrash metal mayhem to all corners of the globe with the likes of the mighty Terror Squad, Grimforce, King's Evil, and many others. Soulless will be the first non-Japanese band on the labels roster and are deeply honored by the recognition. Worldchaos specializes in an excellent brand of brutal, neckbreaking thrash metal and is a perfect match for Soulless. The ten song CD will be completed in July and should be released some time in the fall. Click here for more info on Worldchaos Production
June 3, 2002 Soulless will return to the studio in early July to finish recording and mixing our new album. We're looking towards a fall release...detailed info to follow....
May
3, 2002 It's been a while since our last update
and there's been a lot going on... After The departure of bassist Tony
Daprano, Soulless would like to welcome new bassist Dave
Johnson, formerly of Ascension and many other north coast miscreant
metal creations. Through a shear voracious hunger for metal, Dave was
able to join the band April 6 - 9 in the Mars Recording Compound as
they recorded 10 tracks under the mystical influence of the mighty Bill
Korecky for an upcoming release. The project should be completed within
the next four to six weeks. No label or release date are available at
this time.
February 3, 2002 After what seems like an eternity, Soulless will be entering Mars Recording in late March to begin the follow up to" The Darkening of Days", tentatively entitled "Agony's Lament". It looks as though this effort will again be self produced, as no labels have yet committed themselves to the band . Needless to say the band is disappointed by this lack of support, especially in light of the strong response the three song "Bleeding Darkness" promo has received from labels (We are particularly disappointed by the glut of "Nu Metal" crap that many so called "underground" labels have been releasing). The band is very confident that someone will distribute the new release based on the strength of the finished product. Here is the tentative track listing: Bleeding Darkness, Downward, Suffer the Fallen, Agonies, The Soulscythe, Exile, Terror of Twilight, The Empty Deadness plus three songs currently untitled. We also are still seeking parties interested in re-releasing our first disk, as quantities continue to dwindle. All interested in supporting our endeavors should immediately Contact Us with promises of large amounts of money The Band regrets to announce that bassist Tony Daprano has left the band, due to a conflict of interests. No replacement has been found. Guitarist Wayne Richards will handle bass duties when the band begins recording in March. We will be seeking a permanent replacement after the recording is completed. Parties wishing to audition should Contact Us. In addition we are currently searching for demented and talented artists to create album covers and t-shirt art. You too should also Contact Us. It seems it is a dark period for metal, first with the loss of Chuck Schuldiner and now the passing of TRUE Exodus vocalist Paul Baloff. Paul was quite possibly one of thrash metal's greatest voices. His contribution to metal will never be forgotten, and his legend and influence will live on.
November 24, 2001 We've posted an mp3 for "Soulscythe", one of our newer songs on our Hymns page . The song was recorded live in Cleveland in October. We've got some new photos in the Visions Section and have updated the Soulless Memoir. Chris will be on tour with Ringworm for the next month, So we'll be relaxing through the holidays. We'll be playing shows regionally through January & February after which we hope to begin recording our new album. As
always any labels, distros, or promoters interested in supporting our
endeavors, please Contact
Us
September 30, 2001: Soulless will be playing at the Revolution in Parma Friday Oct. 19. With Somnus & All That Is Evil. Check out Shows For details. Here's the flyer. Soon to come: Expect new Mp3's & photos around the middle of October along with review updates and hopefully interviews. Any zines that received promos should contact us, as we would like to post any reviews. If you have a website for your zine we would also like to post a link.
August
13, 2001: It's
been a while since our last update. My computer malfunctions over
the last three months are to blame. Congratulations to Soulless drummer
Chris Dora's and the rest of Ringworm,
who recently signed with Victory
Records. The band will enter Mars Studio in August
to record a full length. In addition guitarist Matt Sorg (Blood of Christ,
From the Depths, Dead
of Night) has joined the band. Beyond that, we've been writing new songs and shopping our new demo. We really aren't getting any real offers, so it looks like we may have to start trying to find a way to put our next album out ourselves, so buy lots of our merch.
May 6, 2001: We hope to play some shows and travel over the summer, but in the meantime we've been writing and refining new material. We continue to seek a label and are ready to record a bunch of material but no one is really interested yet... Look for live versions of new material to pop up here and there...Site Update (5/6/01) You can now purchase Soulless merch securely through this site. Look for a bunch of new stuff in the next few weeks. We need your money.
March
26 2001: Best wishes go out to Mike Saez Of Incantation
who was injured while trying to separate a friend and another individual
from fighting at a show at the Voodoo Lounge in Queens NY on Friday
March 24. Mike was stabbed in the arm, slicing the bicep, skin and tendon
and was rushed to the hospital. Chris Shaw of NY Death Metal
band Deathrune, Mike's friend and former band mate was stabbed seven
times in the back and received a massive slash to the face that ran
from the ear to chin. At this moment Chris lies in critical condition
at North Shore Hospital in New York. The assailant attempted to flee
the scene and was chased down by Incantation drummer Kyle Severn, who
held the man until police arrived. This was the 2nd night of the
World of Darkness tour with Immolation and Goatwhore and was to be a
4-week run across the U.S. from March through April. However, Incantation
was forced to end the tour due to the serious nature of Mike's injuries.
The band suffered another setback earlier that same day when their van
was broken into and most of their personal belongings and band merchandise
were stolen. Our thoughts are with our brothers and we can only
hope that those individuals responsible for these deeds receive swift
and brutal justice.

October 8, 2000-We regret to anounce that Soulless guitarist Jerry Kessler will be leaving the band in the fall of 2000.

Soulless plans to finish recording and mixing several new songs for a promo due out winter of 2000.
