Wretched Soul is a Modern sounding British Metal outfit formed in late 2008 in the historic city of Canterbury, Kent. The band’s potent melding of Thrash, Black, Death and Traditional Heavy Metal –hailed by Terrorizer as ‘Something altogether new’– has earned praise as a genuinely unique and cutting edge sound. Offering brutality and melody in equal measure, Zero Tolerance Magazine describes Wretched Soul as ‘refreshingly difficult to categorise’.

Having made a massive impact on crowd and critics alike at Bloodstock Open Air 2012, Wretched Soul are fast-gaining a national reputation for their intense and genuinely engaging live shows, recently sharing stages with Orange Goblin, Savage Messiah, Vreid, Eastern Front, Brutal Truth and Extreme Noise Terror among others. In November 2013 Wretched Soul completed a 9-date UK tour with Finnish Death Metal band Re-Armed; before supporting Iniquity as part of the ‘Terrorizer Bloodletting Tour’ in December. Following from the success of these tours, Wretched Soul headed to Norway in January 2014 to play Stavanger’s Hostile Terrortory Festival (With 1349 and Taake) and were special guests on select dates for Savage Messiah’s ‘Fateful Dark’ 2014 UK Tour in March/April. Wretched Soul provided main support to UK Symphonic Black Metal Legends, Hecate Enthroned in July 2014 and later that year embarked upon the ‘November Necromancy’ UK tour supporting Bloodshot Dawn and Savage Messiah respectively.

In December of 2014 Wretched Soul returned to the studio to begin recording the follow up to their critically-acclaimed debut album, Veronica. Produced by the legendary, Grammy-nominated Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Exodus, King Diamond.) The band’s sophomore album is expected for an early-mid 2015 release.

Confirmed 2015 Festival appearances include: Incineration Fest and Thrashersaurus IV.
