SOLSTICE Rejoined By Drummer ALEX MARQUEZ
June 11, 2011Drummer Alex "Brutalizer" Marquez has rejoined the reunited South Florida death/thrash metal band SOLSTICE. According to the group, "He's leaner, meaner and better than ever!"
SOLSTICE will perform at this year's The Goregrowler's Ball on November 18-20, 2011 in San Antonio, Texas and is looking to book a tour. The band is also working on material for the follow-up to 2009's "To Dust".
SOLSTICE was formed in 1990 by guitarist Dennis Munoz and drummer Alex Marquez with vocalist/guitarist Rob Barrett (CANNIBAL CORPSE, ex-MALEVOLENT CREATION, HATEPLOW) and bassist Dave Smith. 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. Barrett and Marquez would go on to join MALEVOLENT CREATION. In 1994 Munoz and Marquez played with a hardcore band called ANGER and in 1995 SOLSTICE was reformed with a new lineup. A second album titled "Pray" was released but they soon disbanded once again.
Current SOLSTICE lineup:
Christian Rudes: Guitars, vocals
Dennis Munoz: Guitars
Alex "Brutalizer" Marquez: Drums
