Originally Soulburn emerged after a first demise of Dutch death metal band Asphyx in the mid-90s, when founding members Eric Daniels (guitars) and Bob Bagchus (drums) looked for a separate outlet to unleash their mutual obsession with Bathory and Venom.

After a demo and the cult Feeding On Angels debut album via Century Media Records in 1998, which featured Wannes Gubbels (Pentacle) on vocals and bass, Soulburn were put to rest when Asphyx returned with On the Wings of Inferno in 2000 with the same line-up.

[1] 16 years after their debut album, Soulburn resurfaced with their new line-up featuring the core of Eric Daniels (guitars) and Bob Bagchus (drums), teaming with Twan van Geel (Legion Of The Damned) as vocalist/bassist and Remco Kreft (Nailgun Massacre) as second guitarist to create their second album, The Suffocating Darkness.

It was recorded with Harry Wijering (Harrow Productions) and mixing and mastering duties were taken over by Dan Swanö and Unisound Studios.

[2] Soulburn released a split 7-inch EP with Desaster in 2015 featuring the new track “The Lats Monument Of God”.
