Lost Soul To Reunite!

NEW YORK (Lost Soul Official Website) - As of March 2008, I have heard the rumor of Lost Soul's comeback. Well, it is 100% true! Bryan Reilly (Lost Soul guitarist) and Mike Mykill Aresco (original Lost Soul drummer) are rehearsing in a warehouse in Hartford Connecticut, and Lost Soul will be around again.

"Lost Soul was formed in 1989 by Anthony Mica and Charles Burke. The 2 founding members would search New York and Southwestern Connecticut for members to permanently join the band. After a year of no luck, musician friends of the 2 would agree to help compose a song, Credence, to lay the ground work of a demo that would be distributed in the area to audition prospects for full-time members.

1994 Mykill Aresco auditioned and got the full-time drummer slot. Now complete, the band relocated to Meriden, Connecticut. About a year and a half was utilized composing songs and rehearsing them 3 nights a week. Having decided on recording a 3 song EP before any live performances, they went to a studio in Cheshire, CT.

The 3 titles were The Holy Words, The Mirror, and Unbridled Passion. The self-titled EP would be handed out and sold everywhere that was permitted, and a fan base began. For the next few years they would rehearse 3 nights a week and gig (live performances) 3-4 times a month. As the attendance at shows grew, so did the violence. (Most noted show for violence was the Meriden VFW show 1/27/1996.) In this time, from 1994-1998, Lost Soul composed roughly 14 songs that would, collectively, be their live show set list. October 1998, Mike Aresco left. This was a needed break for the band to let things calm down in the New England / New York area.

More fans, more violence, more problems. Unlike in the past, the problems and violence started to spread among band members. Band members started getting involved in illicit 'activities' and in the violent crowds behavior. At this point, they were opening up for just about every major metal act that would pass through Connecticut and Massachusetts. In 2003, a record company offered Lost Soul decent a contract for studio time, a 6 month supporting spot on a major act tour, and national distribution of their CD. Before any of this could be signed on the dotted line, turmoil among the band destroyed it that same year."
