SOLSTICE - Pray For The Sentencing Collector's Set Due In June; Details Available
May 4, 2012, 12 years ago
The Florida based death metal band SOLSTICE was formed in 1990 by guitarist Dennis Munoz and drummer Alex Marquez with vocalist/guitarist Rob Barrett. In 1991, they recorded a demo produced by legendary producer Jim Morris and signed a deal with Germany’s SPV/Steamhammer and their debut album was released in 1992. It was originally to be titled The Sentencing, but delays in correspondence didn’t reach Germany in time so it was simply known as Solstice. The following year internal issues combined with Rob Barrett departing for a position in CANNIBAL CORPSE forced the band into hiatus, but in 1995 they regrouped (adding guitarist/vocals Christian Rudes) and returned with the sophomore album, Pray.

Both albums are considered classics in the death/thrash crossover genre because at that time few bands were pushing the limits like Solstice. The band is currently active once again and in 2011 guitarist Dennis Munoz remixed Pray as an exclusive addition to this collector’s set. Pray For The Sentencing is something underground metal fans have been talking about for years and Divebomb Records will release on June 12th. It contains a new interview with members of the band, both legendary albums in original form (remastered), plus the newly remixed version of Pray as well as the original Ed Repka cover illustration.
