History
The Beginning
Solitude was originally formed by Dennis Warelius, William Turner and Patrik Larsson. At the start of things the band had various names and it was just a couple of friends enjoying to play music together. In 2006 the name Solitude was taken and after that things got more and more serious. The song writing had started fully and with a couple home-recorded demo's in their past Solitude found their way of creating the music they enjoyed. In December, 2007 Solitude entered Studio Fredman to record their first EP together with producer Henrik Udd.
After one year of playing random shows across mostly the southern parts Sweden the new material was all set and in April, 2009 Solitude entered the studio once again to record a new EP. Hence good results of the recording in 2007 with producer Henrik Udd, the band couldn't think of a better option than going back to Studio Fredman again. The self-released EP was named The Revival and released on their official myspace the 23rd of April, 2009. Containing a playlist of 4 songs:
