Solace

Solace, the acclaimed American stoner metal band, have left an indelible mark on the heavy music scene since forming in 1996. Hailing from the United States, they are revered for their formidable approach to stoner and doom-infused metal, pairing thunderous riffs with an unmistakable sense of atmosphere. Their discography stands as a testament to their creative force, with key releases such as the album "The Brink" (2019), as well as earlier works like "A.D." (2010) and the EP "Hammerhead" (2006), all of which showcase their relentless energy and distinctive sound. Tracks like "Bird of Ill Omen", "Burn", and "Crushing Black" exemplify Solace’s ability to craft intense, evocative music that resonates with fans of heavy and esoteric genres alike.

Live music has always been an essential part of Solace’s appeal. In August 2025, the band took the stage at The Victoria in Birmingham, lending their sonic weight as a support act for headliners like Mac Wood and Voodoo Blue. Their dynamic presence on stage is further evidenced by upcoming appearances in May 2026 at Desertfest London and at Underworld, where they share the bill with headliners such as Zig Zags and Bismut. These performances highlight Solace's ongoing dedication to delivering powerful concerts and their respected position within the broader metal community.

With a storied history and a reputation for enthralling gigs, Solace remain a vital force in stoner metal. For fans eager to experience their immersive soundscapes and catch them live, it’s essential to follow the band and keep an eye on their tour dates for the latest news on concerts and upcoming shows.
