Solstice Coil is an alternative progressive rock band formed in Israel in 2001. The band's core members are Shir Deutch, Opher Vishnia and Shai Yallin. The band describes its musical style on its official website as "combining the emotional with the intellectual", and proclaims itself as "Israel's first alt-prog-rock band to be formed on the web". Solstice Coil has released three albums, A Prescription for Paper Cuts (2005), Natural Causes (2011) and Commute (2015). Natural Causes had been picked up by the Orlando-based progressive rock label Melodic Revolution Records and Commute was released on Taklit Music, Subterranean Masquerade guitarist Tomer Pink's new label. On July 5, 2011, Solstice Coil released a parody of Dream Theater to YouTube titled "The Natural Causes Carries On", spoofing Dream Theater's "The Spirit Carries On" documentary about their search to replace founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy. The video became immensely popular among Dream Theater fans and was subsequently promoted by guitarist John Petrucci on his official Facebook and Twitter accounts. Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess has also given his seal of approval, stating the video was "very funny". On July 19, 2011, during Dream Theater's second concert in Israel, the parody was screened before thousands of fans, moments before Dream Theater took the stage. == History == Solstice Coil was established in late-2001 with Shir Deutch on vocals and guitars, Opher Vishnia on lead guitar, Uri Goldberg on drums and Guy Matityahu on bass guitar. During the first years of its existence, the band played a mix of Hebrew and English songs, mostly influenced by brit-pop and brit-rock. After going through several line-up changes, the band released its debut album, ''A Prescription For Paper Cuts'' on September 21, 2005 with bassist Diego Olschansky and keyboard player Shai Yallin; A self-produced effort, the album was mostly recorded, edited and mixed by Yallin at his home studio.
