Immortal Souls is a Finnish melodic death metal band that has carved a distinctive niche for themselves in the metal landscape with their unique blend of aggressive riffs and icy, Northern melodies, a style befitting their self-coined genre of "Winter Metal." The band was formed in 1991 in the city of Kokkola by brothers Aki (vocals, guitar) and Esa Särkioja (guitar), along with bassist Pete Loisa, finding their rhythmic foundation with drummer Juha Särkioja joining in the fray.

Over the years, Immortal Souls has honed their craft and sound, with lyrical themes often diving into the realms of spirituality, life and death, expressed through chilling metaphors of wintry landscapes. The band's album "Wintermetal," released in 2015, is a testament to their growth and dedication to their thematic core, offering fans a blistering yet melodic auditory journey that solidifies their standing in the genre. Preceding this release, fans were treated to the introspective darkness of "IV: The Requiem For The Art Of Death" in 2011, the epic soundscapes of "Wintereich" in 2007, and "Ice Upon the Night" in 2003, each record building upon the last while showcasing the band's consistent quality and passion for their craft. Despite not being the most commercially known, Immortal Souls have earned a loyal following and critical acclaim within metal circles for their disciplined approach to songwriting and their capacity to evoke the stark, raw power of nature through music.
