BIOGRAPHY
Solipsist is a five piece metal outfit
from Cleveland, OH. After their first EP “Medicate the Masses” in 2007
Solipsist has worked at perfecting a style of metal distinctly their
own. Using grassroots marketing and self- producing their latest record
“The Human Equation” the band has solidified its place as one of the
best metals band to come out of Cleveland since Chimaira. Solipsist’s
efforts have not gone unnoticed, performing with hometown heroes such as
the above mentioned Chimaira and underground legends Mushroomhead.
Headlining venues such as the Legendary Peabody’s Down Under to 600+
fans, the band is holding their own with Cleveland’s biggest acts. All
while continuing to write new music for the new E.P. "Extinction
Protocol" and performing regionally around NE Ohio.
They are a self-sufficient band that writes,
produces, and records all the music that you hear on each of their four
releases to date.
“The Human Equation” was Solipsists’ first full length studio album. Pre-production began in April 2010 and was release October 2010. The CD features 10 crushing tracks that display the musical diversity of Solipsist. This is the first release with current guitar player Mark Witherspoon.

In March 24th they released a masterpiece album that show the evolution of the band, for me is the best record so far, has heavy riffs, nice melodies an very good vocals. I realy im expecting that other people try to know and hear this very good band that i recomend.
Solipsist’s latest effort “The Human Equation” has helped to expand the band into new markets with their unique brand of brutality. Getting featured on national media sites such as MetalSucks.net and blogs nationwide it shows that awesome music and word of mouth can still go a long way.
“The Human Equation starts with the
sound of acoustic guitars. But the tenderness doesn't last long: Harsh
vocals and deafening guitars soon bust into the album's opening song,
"Heaven's Assault." Front man Noah Buchanan roars more than he sings,
sounding like a wounded demon as the band turns downright menacing on
songs like "The Catharsis of Man" and "Eternal Drought." And they get
brutally epic on The Human Equation's centerpiece, "Queen of
Abandonment." There's a bluesy swagger to "Heretic," and "New Form" is a
pretty acoustic ballad, but this isn't an album for the faint of
heart.. It's an exercise in vicious force.” (Jeff Niesel - Scene
Magazine)
Cleveland has always been notable for turning out great bands. Solipsist is the next one to watch follow in that line, after all this is the birthplace of Rock and Roll.

“Extinction Protocol” was released April 14, 2012 in their hometown. It is their most intense effort to date, featuring six tracks that will leave you with an experience to remember. The music shows their maturity and that they have no boundaries in the way they write their music. “Extinction Protocol” will solidify their place in the modern metal music scene.

“These songs are fierce, with a level of musicianship seldom seen in this genre.” (Chris Akin, Pittriff.com)
For the past six years, Solipsist has been producing and releasing albums independently. They do it for the love of metal, and are not concerned with conforming to one genre. If you ask them they will say “we are a metal band, and we play metal music.”
“These guys have a huge metal sound, and not the sound that plagues so many bands of this genre in an effort to just play fast.
The thickness and speed of the riffs on songs like “Trenches” is
absolutely compelling.” (Chris
Akin, Pitriff.com)
“Solipsist continues to not only redefine the term metal but the term heavy as well. Yet again Ohio throws down the challenge of brutal bloodied metal and dares others to step up and face the music. If there was justice to be found in the world of heavy metal Solipsist would no longer be an unknown name. For the time being those of us in Ohio should make the most of it and enjoy this underground bulldozer of a band.” (Andy Davis, Heavy Metal Time Machine)
“These guys are solid.” (Vince Neilstein, Metalsucks.net)
“I am absolutely sick of hearing old worn down cliché’s that “local” or “unsigned” talent is weak, because bands like Solipsist continually prove it wrong. Though there may not be another “local” metal band that can be compared to Solipsist, they provide other bands with a framework to work from, though now the bar has been set quite high.” (Christopher Marinin, Ghost Laboratories)
“Solipsist is more powerful than a ten ton grizzly bear with shoulder mounted machine guns that fire explosive bacon bits which turn into unicorns once digested, which in turn bust through your stomach with their all-mighty unicorn horns, leaving you to die a painful, agonizing, but yet delicious death.” (Bryson City Breakdown)
