Inner Wound Recordings are proud to announce the release of the second full-lenght album from the Brazilian power metal opera project SOULSPELL.

Savatage] and Edu Falaschi [Angra]. The release date for Europe and North America is set to October 8th!

The project is conceived by drummer Heleno Vale. Many vocalists play different characters in a story concerning the conflicts among human emotions. These characters face situations of internal conflict as they are requested for making decisions which, without their knowledge, affect and change the course of the present, future, and even past of all the other characters. The SOULSPELL story intends to make us wonder how a fifteen-year-old boy, a powerful evil dragon, or even a simple humble lumberjack, by simply living and believing, can interfere in the lives of all in every possible dimension.
