SOULFLY Guitarist's Solo Album To Be Reissued In August

June 27, 2005

Shrapnel Records has set an August 2 release date for the solo album from SOULFLY guitarist Marc Rizzo (COMMITTEE OF THIRTEEN, ILL NINO). "Colossal Myopia", which was originally issued on the Phlamencore label in February of 2004, will include four completely new, intricate instrumental metal-shred-type songs and new artwork.

"Colossal Myopia" is a mixture of all the music that Rizzo listens to. It's a combination of metal nuevo flamenco and jazz. "I don't really listen to one type of music and I think my record showcases that," explains Rizzo. "It's an all-instrumental CD for music lovers that want to enjoy pure music without all the politics and negative lyrical content."

Rizzo goes on to describe some of the music: "'Colossal Myopia' is a song that I wrote while trying to combine heavy riffing with flamenco buleria rhythms. 'Introspection of an Introvert' is pure shred metal, while the 'Piñata Hits Back' is nuevo flamenco guitar with salsa-style percussion.

"This entire record is a total trip and I'm glad to finally have put a record out that combines all the music I love on one record. 'Colossal Myopia' is really just a look into my CD collection, because I love listening to PACO DE LUCIA and then metal. These styles were meant to be together."
