SOLSTICE Issue Studio Update, Line-Up Change
September 24, 2008, 15 years ago
Reunited Floridian metallers SOLSTICE have issued the following update:
"We're scheduled to start tracking for a new release on September 18th. We have 11 songs including a cover from our old buddies CYNIC, circa 1988. We also have a lineup change; Alex Marquez is no longer with us. Joining us for this album is drummer Brian Harris. Brian is a true asskicker and a consummate pro and we know he will bring an amazing dimension to our music. Check out his page hereIt's definitely been quite a while since the last 'update' was posted more than two years ago and a big thanks goes out to all of you who have been asking 'what the hell is goin on with you guys?!' We're excited as fuck about this recording and more than ready to get rolling. We'll definitely have more as things progress."
Solstice was formed in 1990 by guitarist Dennis Munoz and drummer Alex Marquez with vocalist/guitarist Rob Barrett (CANNIBAL CORPSE). In 1991 they recorded a demo produced by legendary producer Jim Morris. In 1992 their debut album The Sentencing was recorded but due to internal problems the band broke up the following year. In 1994 Munoz and Marquez played with a hardcore band called Anger and in 1995 Solstice was reformed with a new line-up. A second album titled Pray was released but they soon disbanded once again. In 2000 Solstice was resurrected once again and they were working on material for a third album.
