The band formed in the summer of 2006, playing their first gig to an audience of around 20 people. By their third show, they had replaced Abigail Williams on a tour slot as the main support act for Bring Me the Horizon and were playing to over 400 people. They were named as one of the best new English death metal bands, they have toured with the likes of Trigger the Bloodshed and Bleed From Within, and recorded a 6-track EP.
Two years later, the band signed a worldwide recording contract with extreme metal label Earache Records. They recorded a debut album, Of Winter Born, at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk in September 2008 with producer Scott Atkins (Sylosis, Gama Bomb).[2]
Of Winter Born was released by Earache Records on 10 March 2009. A limited edition version included a bonus disc with four additional tracks. Of Winter Born has been described as "...relentless in nature" by Kerrang! magazine;[3] "...an overpowering barrage of old school riffs" by Terrorizer;[4] "...a striking, technically superb brutally memorable debut" by Rock Sound;[5] and "...a taut and satisfying riff-storm that finds its melodic roots" by Revolver.[6] According to Metal Hammer magazine, the band had "...already found the right balance of technique, melody and brutality. While many young metal bands rehash clichés and old school encumbrances, this lot are threatening to be something altogether different and more demanding."[7]
On 23 September 2010, Ignominious Incarceration announced their band's name being changed to The Soulless. The group commented, "We wanted a new name which was easy to remember and say... the name has a dark, edgy feel to it, but is not instantly recognisable as metal and it's easy to say! We feel this represents us a lot better, as well as our new music."[8]
