SOULFLY / CAVALERA CONSPIRACY Guitarist Marc Rizzo On XM's Liquid Metal Today
January 7, 2010, 14 years ago
An interview with SOULFLY / CAVALERA CONSPIRACY guitarist Marc Rizzo will be featured on XM42's Liquid Metal program today (January 8th). Air time is 5:00pm EST. Go to this location to tune in.
As previously reported, Rizzo has once again has stepped out from his six-string tour of duty with Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy to deliver his new solo project, Legionaire on Phlamencore Records. This new album reveals a phenomenal command of the guitar that Rizzo has become known for.
Legionaire was written and recorded over a two year period, while touring worldwide with Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy. Having time to write this record while on the road and in between tours, Rizzo would break and get into the studio to record, then back out on the road.
“I’m really excited about this record”, exclaims Rizzo. “I had a lot of time since my last record to really think about this new album. I think traveling all over the world, writing all the new material, really influenced the sound. After two U.S. solo tours in 2008, I think I really figured out what songs work well live. I’m really excited to play these new songs in front of a live audience. It’s very cool to see kids slam dancing and going off to instrumental music.”Rizzo is touted a master musician with deep musical roots in metal, classical and flamenco guitar. His raw energy combined with the talent of a new-generation shred-master is a much needed breath of fresh air to the instrumental rock genre.
