The band started to jamming in 1997 by guitarists Maksim and Feyzi. Maksim also did the vocals in early days of first four piece line-up until 1999.
At that period Baris Cagirankaya (ex-voc.) had joined the band and started to do the vocal work. The band take it to higher level than being an amateur metal band.
In 2001, Sevan (ex-bass) and Cagri (ex-drums) had joined the band, and new line-up started to work. The band recorded their first demo, "A gift form an angel" which was used for promotional, with this line-up also, played in Barisarock I, H2000 III, Blind Guardian, Orphaned Land shows with this line-up.
In 2003, the band has departured and the door is opened for the line-up of future. Onur who played drums for the band "Myst" at that time joined Soul Sacrifice, then Ozgur joined the band as a bass player and vocals who worked with the group several times before.
Then the band decided to put the ideas together as an album with this line up.
...And Finally the first recording "Stranded Hate", which was recorded by Hasan Umut Onder between Sep. 2004 - Jan. 2005, was released. So many musician did excellent jobs in this album, with likes of Demir Demirkan, who is a strong guitarist and a songwriter in Turkey, who wrote the song that is the winner of Eurovision for Turkey, and played guitar for the best metal heroes of Turkey "The Pentagram (Mezarkabul). The band is working for their second release at the moment, and looking for shows and festivals in summertime.
The band is going to produce a tour with the release of second album and in September Soul Sacrifice is going to join the "Clash Of Sounds" tour, in Germany and Poland, with Orphaned Land, Disillusion and Nu Clear Dawn.
