Combining vintage metal codes, electronic music, and modern musicianship, Holosoil is an atypical newcomer to the progressive music scene. Formed out of the ashes of previous outfit, R3VO, the Berlin/Helsinki-based quartet signed to InsideOutMusic debut with the single ‘Look Up’.
In 2019 Victor Nissim (Bass) and Jan Kurfürst (Guitar) formed R3VO and were later joined by Altaïr Chagué (Drums). The name change occurred after Emelie Sederholm joined the band as lead vocalist, following the departure of Eleonara Barbato. Although most of the band members are based in Berlin, Germany, Barbato. lives in Helsinki, Finland while Nissim and Chagué are both French. The result is a gathering of eclectic musicians; manufacturers of a freaky, explosive and sophisticated sound.
Signing to InsideOutMusic in 2023, the formation was previously featured as R3VO in Metal Hammer magazine, performed at Euroblast Festival 2023 and was notably approached by Trinity Music to open for Scottish band Vukovi.
Technical but never scholar, raw and mature, fearless to explore and borrow the codes of numerous genres, Holosoil follow in the footsteps of artists like Björk, The Mars Volta, Muse and Tool.
Debut single ‘Look Up’ is a raw 3-minute display of energy and technicality, marking the band’s first ever release. The band said of the track: “The song is about humanity’s blindness to what our modern lifestyles are doing to the living world around us. More than blindness it’s about our inability to get out of the spiral of destruction that our economic system has trapped us in. Nature is urging us to look up from our screens and see the real world! “
Concerning their signing, they commented: “We are thrilled to announce that Holosoil is now signed on InsideOutMusic! It is a great honour and privilege for us to be part of their roster. We look very much forward to bringing our art into the world, and are more than grateful for all their trust and support!!”
Label head Thomas Waber commented:”We are excited to add Holosoil to our growing roster of young bands. This international band from Berlin/Helsinki has a bright future ahead!”
The release of three additional singles will lead up to Holosoil´s debut EP, out in 2026.
