Originally a side project of drummer David Sroczynski and William "Rocky" Gray from Shredded Corpse formed in 1997, the band dissolved after creating one song for a metal compilation in 1998. Rocky would reform the band with fellow Living Sacrifice member and Christian metal legend Lance Garvin (drums) and his brother in-law Chad Moore (vocals). When Rocky and Lance weren't busy with Living Sacrifice, they would hammer away at making material for their death metal side project. The band released an EP (The Fleshless EP), and three albums (For The Incomplete, This Is My Blood, Immune) over a five year span. Soul Embraced's debut album 'For the Incomplete' was re-released in 2003 by the independent label Blood and Ink Records. Evanescence's song "Tourniquet" from their debut album Fallen is a cover of the Soul Embraced song "My Tourniquet". Since 2003, Rocky has been busy with Evanescence as their drummer and his numerous other bands. Gray said in an interview after the release of 'Immune' that the band planned on releasing two to three more albums and in 2006 announced two new band members: Jack Wiese (who is also Rocky's drum tech for Evanescence) on guitar and Jeff Bowie on bass.
