Soulreaper was formed by two former members of Dissection soon after that band's breakup in the mid-nineties.
The new band originally went by the name Reaper, and it wasn't until their debut album was set for release that legal problems arose concerning the band name, and at that time they changed it to Soulreaper.
Not surprisingly, Soulreaper play death metal, but not the melodic variety that Dissection helped pioneer. Instead, the style here is more brutal, with some nods to current black metal as well.
Comparing their two releases thus far, it's the debut, Written In Blood, that is the more frenetic of the two, with Life Erazer being slightly more controlled, and with a bit better production as well. Both albums are solid bets for Euro death metal fans.
