Dead Souls Rising was formed in 1993 by Alastrelle (vocals),

Sébastien Ficagna (guitar, also member of Avoid Catoblépone) and Pascal X (bass).

During the recording session of their second album "Scented Garden" in 1997, Laurent (violin) joined them.
In 1997 Sébastien left the band and in 1999 the 2xCD compilation "Clepsydre 1993-1999" was released.
"Clepsydre 1993-1999" contains numerous live tracks, but also their remastered demo tracks and exclusive songs.
In 2000 Renfield was joined on guitar and in 2004 Sand followed on bass.
Dead Souls Rising music is influenced by bands such as Bauhaus, Christian Death, Siouxsie And The Banshees and Alastrelle's voice is inspired by artists like Kate Bush, Nina Hagen, Lisa Gerrard, Diamanda Galas, Björk and PJ Harvey.
The band has played concerts in various places in France and other parts of Europe.
