Soul Embraced started as a side project of drummer David Sroczynski and William "Rocky" Gray in 1997 in which time they have been appearing at underground metal scenes for over 16 years.

The band's first release was an EP on indie label Blood & Ink Records. In 2002, their first full-length album was released on Solid State Records, a subsidiary of Tooth & Nail Records, followed by two others.

The five-year gap between albums afforded the band a label change and a new opportunity to create different music.

Soul Embraced returns with a lineup that includes Chad Moore on vocals, Rocky Gray on drums, Cody Smith on guitar and Jon Dunn on the bass.

Rocky Gray, perhaps the best known member of the band, played drums with multi-platinum selling artist Evanescence from 2003 to 2007 and as a guitarist for Living Sacrifice from 1999 to 2003, in 2005, and from 2008 on.

The band is viewed more as a side project then a full fledged touring group, says a press release. However, they promise tour dates will be announced soon.
