Solstice Coil - A Prescription for Paper Cuts (2005) - ∞.

Band - Solstice Coil




Solstice Coil is an alternative progressive rock band formed in Israel in 2001. The band's core members are Shir Deutch, Opher Vishnia and Shai Yallin.

The band describes its musical style on its official website as "combining the emotional with the intellectual", and proclaims itself as "Israel's first alt-prog-rock band to be formed on the web".

Solstice Coil has released two albums, A Prescription for Paper Cuts (2005) and Natural Causes (2011). While both albums were self-produced and self-financed, Natural Causes had been picked up by the Orlando-based progressive rock label Melodic Revolution Records.

Solstice Coil's music is a cross-genre of progressive rock, alternative rock and progressive metal. The band members state mutual influences by artists such as Radiohead, Muse, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Genesis and The Mars Volta.

The music is characterised by complex structures, variable song lengths, unorthodox time signatures, multi-layered arrangements and wide range male vocals. The songs are often melancholic and dark, while the lyrics tend to be metaphorical and multi-faceted.
