Meet the Band

Five souls united by the power of metal, forging a sound that transcends boundaries

Our Story

Stolen Soul is a groove/melodic metal band formed in 2022 byIker Santos Villariezo, Argoitz Estébanez Barrado, and Andima Fernández, who had previously played together and decided to start this project to channel their most direct influences.

Some time later, Aritza Pérez joined as rhythm guitarist, eager to take part in the project. With a solid foundation in place, the band began working on the first sketches of their debut EP, refining and shaping the final tracks.

Meanwhile, the group was actively searching for a vocalist. After a few months, they found Javi, who became part of the band until late 2024. With him, they recorded their first single, “Steel Shadows.”

After this stage, the band decided to move forward, continuing to create music and pursuing the original plans set from the beginning. This is when Ángel Santamaría joined — a vocalist with a long career and experience. Together, they completed the lyrics and final touches of Stolen Soul’s first EP, Seek Revenge, recorded and released in 2025.

That’s how Stolen Soul was born.

…And now I seek revenge.
