“On their debut demo, Solarsphere plays symphonic metal with all the conviction of a veteran band. This is a positive step in the right direction for this young Chicago band.”

— Review by Tony Cannella, Solarsphere - "Demo" (2011)

“From Chicago, Illinois, the band Solarsphere plays melodic symphonic metal, adding a touch of other influences here-and-there to create their debut 3-song demo. Solarsphere is led by vocalist Rachel Sabine. She has got a beautiful, melodic slightly operatic style to her voice...This is a good start...Starting off with drums, bass and Rachel’s vocals, the song slowly builds as a rock solid guitar riff joins in. This song has loads of atmosphere (thanks in part to the haunting keyboard arrangement) and a simply addicting melody... is a Beautiful start to the 13-minute demo.”

— Review by Tony Cannella, Solarsphere - "Demo" (2011)

“...and then the stage was prepared for the next act, Solarsphere. Now it was time for fully amped metal! They kicked off the show with heavy guitar-riffs accompanied by keyboards in the background. Then when Rachel Sabine delivered the vocals, they revealed their true genre: symphonic metal. The operatic style vocals brought a nice contrast to the music. They played a good variety of songs, many with prominent melodic sections, others that were quite heavy.”

— Joel Beverley-The Happy Headbanger, Friday, August 26, 2011 DAME NATION 2011 (Concert review from July 29th, 2011)

“The three tracks this band does have for us show the makings of a strong band. Lush keyboards and vocalist Rachel Sabine’s ethereal vocals float over a bed of heavy guitar work and pounding drums, creating a bit of an otherworldly atmosphere....””

— Max Levites, Check it Out: Solarsphere

“While many bands can only dream of being on the Dame-Nation stage, others actually live it. This Summer, July 29th, Solarsphere is one of the bands that will perform on the grandest stage of them all; Dame-Nation™. Dame-Nation is an event where talented, hard working musicians come together to be showcased to the many fans that may have never heard of them until now. As with many bands throughout North America, the bands that have contacted or been contacted by Eric Sanchez (owner/producer) of Dame-Nation have proven to be a top-notch band. Solarsphere is no different. ”

— Eric Sanchez, Solarsphere will be making the trip to Chicago, IL for Dame-Nation 2011 on July
