Just a quick article to remind you to save some pennies as we go into the new year for some upcoming releases…
Marc Rizzo
Soulfly/Cavalera Conspiracy guitarist Marc Rizzo has set the release date for his new LP Rotation, in stores March 30th via Combat Records/EMP Label Group/Amped in North America, and Combat/SPV in Europe. Rotation is the fourth solo release for Rizzo, following 2004’s Colossal Myopia, 2006’s The Ultimate Devotion (both released by legendary shred label Shrapnel), and the independently released 2010 LP Legionnaire.
Produced by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Hatebreed, Soulfly, Rob Zombie, Chimaira), and featuring cover art by Melody Myers (Escape The Fate), Rotation is a blistering showcase of Rizzo’s pummeling eclectic diversity, showcased on album tracks including “Spectral Intensities”, “Thrash Boogie”, and title track “Rotation”, combining Rizzo’s penchant for pummeling, low-end riffs, with thrash-intensive leads and heavy Latin flavour.
