SOCIETY'S
SOUL BIOGRAPHY
Every once in a while a band comes around that makes you stop
and take notice. A band where the words of the lyrics matter.
Where the voice of the front-man is one filled with the emotion
of the lyrics. Society's Soul presents a refreshing and different
type of voice in today's musical landscape. A voice that strives
to dig deeper into the psyche of society and humanity. A voice
that is brave and compassionate enough to ask what is going
wrong in the world. Taking a stand on the social and environmental
issues plaguing the world today, Society's Soul takes on these
issues with hard-hitting introspective lyrics that draw the
listener in. Even though by its nature some of the subject matter
may be bleak in songs such as these, they are always presented
with a positive and optimistic faith-based outlook which leaves
the listener feeling hopeful and empowered instead. That captures
the essence of what this band is about. That is what Mario M.,
the charismatic founder, songwriter and front-man of Society's
Soul, has been known for.
Starting his introspective journey many years ago with his
former band Vogue's Rogues and then continuing it during a latin
solo career, Mario continues his musical evolution and spiritual
journey with Society's Soul. Society's Soul approaches its songs
with musical aggressiveness and lyrical pleas to reform, not
conform. Mario takes great pride in his approach and philosophy
to making his special brand of music - "Lyrics that make
you think, music that rocks your soul". His aggressive
yet positive approach also is represented in the Society's Soul
live show.
Mario's unique relationship with his fans is well-known. This
is an artist who knows the importance and value of what his
fans mean to him. He is well-known for personally keeping in
touch with each and every one of his fans. Certainly an incredible
task but that devotion is what makes Mario a unique personality
and why his fans are so devoted to him. As Mario says, the
serious topics I discuss in my songs sometimes paint a too serious
perception of me so it's important and good for me to connect
with my fans on a personal level and let them see that I have
another side to me altogether! Interacting with my fans helps
me to see the world through their eyes and that helps me to
connect Society's Soul to my fans and to represent them and
my music even better.
The debut album for Societys Soul titled Soulscream
was released on March 25, 2014. It is an ambitious 24 track
concept album with a redemptive story of overcoming adversity
and finding faith in a ever scarier and confusing world. The
first single off the album titled "Flicker of my soul"
was released on January 7, 2014. This introspective song (and
it's music video) encapsulates the redemptive personal journey
that Society's Soul takes the listener on through the album.
It is a deeply personal and empowering song that listeners will
be able to relate to their lives in various ways. The second
single was the song "Pennies to the Rich". A song
about not letting problems paralyze you, inspiring the listener
to take action instead. The current single "Living the
Good Life" is a fast & fun rocker showing that everyone
has a different but valid perspective on what makes their life
a good one. These singles are a great introduction to Society's
Soul and what its "Society" and "Soul" represents.
They are just a sample of the emotional journey the listener
undertakes on "Soulscream".
With introspective lyrics, emotion filled vocals and music
that goes from hard rockers to acoustic ballads to spoken word
pieces, you can see this is no ordinary band. This is just what
is needed, an extraordinary band that reflects today's extraordinary
world.
New music is coming! The single "Money is God" (ID
remix) will be released on December 6th, 2019. It is the first
single to be released off the upcoming SS EP "ID".
ID is the first of 3 upcoming high concept EPs from SS based
on the 7 deadly sins and the 7 Virtues!
