Soundisciples have toured with various known
artists including Janus Stark, Pitchshifter, Mortiis & Paradise
Lost. A few years ago there was also a Channel 4 documentary about
the band and their tour manager as part of a series about specific
bands and their Roadies/tour managers.
Amongst others the band has also collaborated
with Beth Gibbons ( Portishead ) & Gizz Butt ( former Prodigy
guitarist, Janus Stark, The More I See )
Gobz also co-own State of Art ( SOA ) Studios
in Bristol along with Geoff Barrow ( Portishead ) and is also
related to current Sisters of Mercy guitarist Ben Christo.
A few years ago Whores of
Babylon ( hyperlink :
www.myspace.com/whoresofbabylon ) was resurrected as a band in
it`s own right and now Soundisciples and Whores of Babylon co-exist
together with some member links between the two bands. Both bands
music can be loosely fitted into the category of Gothic Metal even
though they don`t sound quiet the same as Whores of Babylon are a
darker and more Classically bombastic beast where as Soundisciples
are a more experimental fusion metal band. There is even a third
offshoot from these two bands that is called `Whores of Babylon –
The Noiselab Project` ( hyperlink :
www.myspace.com/noiselabproject ), this also loosely fits into
the Goth Metal Genre although the styles played with within are more
along the lines of Industrial, Cyber-gothic , not too dissimilar to
the first Soundisciples album `Undefined`.
Having not played any gigs
anywhere since 2005, Soundisciples plan to get back on tour some
time in 2008 after completion of the next album `Killbox`, initially
doing a couple of warm up gigs in Bristol. In fact during 2008
there will be the strange occurrence of them appearing as
Soundisciples and Whores of Babylon at the same time ! possible
because core members are the same and both bands have a similar fan
base
How will this work? well
part of the set will be performed as Soundisciples and then with
some minor personnel changes, the other part as Whores of Babylon.
Although probably at some point both bands will split up into two
full gigging machines of their own.
Soundisciples have gone through member changes
in 2005. A third album is currently being recorded and released on
Gobz`s LoveGun record label during 2008.
