Solacide was founded in autumn 1996 by Kimmo Korhonen and Masa Jauhola. Solacide worked under the name Dim Moonlight until late 2004. First three years the band spent finding its musical direction and going through several line-up changes. In spring 2000 Dim Moonlight recorded its first demo …To Tranquility at Studio Kuja, Lahti. The rest of the year 2000 the band went again through many line-up changes, writing and rehearsing new material.
Late 2002 Kimmo and Masa went to Oriville Studios to record a new demo, Pleasure Of Existence. This time they had a keyboardist Olli Rytkönen (Moment Aftrer Scarlet) with them, but this collaboration didn’t work out, so Kimmo ended up playing most of the keyboards on the record. In late 2004 the band changed its name to Solacide, and two new members joined the band; bass player Sami Tikkanen joined in early spring 2005 and guitarist Joonas Vanhalakka in September 2005.
In November-December 2005 Solacide recorded Waves Of Hate -demo. It was recorded at their rehearsal house, and was released in January 2006. In April 2008 Gökhan Korkmaz joined as lead singer, and Solacide recorded new demo Baptized In Disgust in May 2008, which will be released in the beginning of the year 2009.
