+++ NEWS +++
Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are excited to announce the signing of Italian melodic rockers, Soul Seller, for the release of their brand new studio album, "Fight Against Time".
The story of Soul Seller began in Turin in 1999, founded by brothers Dave and Mike Zublena. The band spent its first decade producing demos, self-releasing EPs, and performing live dates across northern Italy with the goal of finding its signature sound. In 2010, after several line-up changes, they signed with German label, Avenue Of Allies, for the release of their debut album, "Back To Life" (produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio). The album gained recognition in the melodic rock scene, and included the popular track "Keep on Moving” featuring Oliver Hartmann, which was featured in the Classic Rock Magazine compilation.
After additional tour dates and line-up changes, the band returned to the studio in 2015 to record their second chapter, this time with the support of Italian label Tanzan Music. The result was "Matter Of Faith", a work which saw the band exploring a more modern and refined sound. Following its release back in 2016, it received great feedback from fans and specialized press around the world.
The band then supported major acts such as Europe and Harem Scarem in selected live dates across Italy. In 2019, new members, Alessandro Rimoldi, Stefania Sarre and Dale Sanders joined the band. With a renewed enthusiasm, Soul Seller shared the stage again with another major act, Bonfire, in 2021, before returning to the TANZAN MUSIC studio to record their third album, "Fight Against Time".
In 2024, the band signed a deal with Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group, for a spring 2025 release. Band mastermind Dave Zublena states: "We’re starting the new year with a bang! We wandered the face of the earth for the last few years, but now we finally found a place to call HOME! Very proud to be part of the Burning Minds Music Group family. There is definitely a lot of music coming your way in 2025. Stay tuned!"
Further details of the album, release date, final tracklist, cover artwork, and more will follow in the forthcoming weeks.

The story of Soul Seller begins in Turin in 1999 by an idea of the brothers Dave and Mike Zublena. The band spends the first 10 years of its life demoing, self-producing EPs and playing live in northern Italy trying to find the right sound and its artistic dimension.
At last, after various line-up changes, in 2010 the band signs with the German label Avenue of Allies, and in October 2011 releases the official debut: “Back to Life”, produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio (prominent international producer, known for his works with Hardline, Jorn Lande, Sunstorm/Joe Lynn Turner, Glenn Hughes, Fergie Frederiksen, Deen Castronovo, Roger Glover, Bobby Kimball and many others). The album, also released in Japan by Rubicon Records, obtains unanimous approval among the specialized media of the melodic rock market.
The success among public and critics allows “Back to Life” to be considered one of the best debut albums of year 2011. One of its songs, “Keep on Moving” (featuring singer and guitarist Oliver Hartman, especially known for his work with Avantasia) is included in a compilation sold with the infamous English magazine Classic Rock on theirspecial issue about the new generation of international melodic rock bands. After a short tour in northern Italy, the band takes a pause from live concerts to concentrate on Back to Life’s follow-up. During this period of live inactivity, the band goes through some other line-up changes leading to an unexpected extension of the work for the second album. Finally, in January 2015 the band with a brand new line-up featuring the singer Eric Concas, enters the studio with Alessandro Del Vecchio at the helm again.
Soul Seller sign with the Italian label Tanzan Music and their new album “Matter of Faith”, introduced by the first single “Tide Is Down”, is released on September 19th, 2016. The tour supporting the new album starts the same day of its release and the band supported several big international acts like Europe, Harem Scarem, Masterplan, Boulevard, Vega and Bonfire.
In 2019 three new members enter the band: Alex "Wallino" Rimoldi on keyboards, Stefania Sarre on bass and Dale Sanders on lead guitar. After several concerts that helped the new line-up to find the right alchemy, among them supporting act for the legendary band Bonfire and a headlining festival celebrating 20th years of activity, the band released on December, 10th, 2021 a brand new song called Diamonds Rain.
