Soulslide was formed in a summer night in September 2002. David (guitar) and Lars (drums) decided, that the future must bring more possibilities for their musical progress. The new band should consist of musicians who are close friends and who know exactly what they want. They want to move straight forward in the future. So it came to the following cast:

The important part on keys was filled by Simone. Since a long time they played together with her, and because of the strength of their friendship it was an easy and well done decision. For the bass-job they decided to take Hendrik, a very impressive and experienced musician. Once again they could win a close friend as a band-member. The only thing missing in this dream-team was a powerful vocalist. Luck was on their side and so they found Sandra. After visiting a rehearsal she decided to give her voice to Soulslide.

Soulslide recorded their debut album "Dreamshade" from January to February 2003. The CD includes four songs recorded at the Play-it-Loud Studio in Duisburg (Germany).

At first Soulslide recorded those four tracks for the Promo-CD so that they could find a label, and to respond to the great demand of the fans they also produced 100 pieces signed by the band members. The CD includes the tracks 01. Nightmare 02. The Dreamer 03. Soulslide 04. Alone in the dark.
