TRIVIUM Bassist To Perform With RICK ROZZ's M INC. In Saint Petersburg

January 10, 2011

Bassist Paolo Gregoletto of Florida metallers TRIVIUM will perform with M INC., the new Orlando, Florida-based band featuring former DEATH/MASSACRE guitarist Frederick "Rick Rozz" DeLillo, when the group makes its live debut as the support act for OBITUARY on Friday, January 21 at State Theater in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Gregoletto will be filling in for regular M INC. bassist Timmy Vazquez, who is unable to make the gig due to work commitments.

In other news, Rozz was interviewed on last night's edition of the "Psycho Realms" radio show on the Tampa, Florida radio station WMNF 88.5 FM. You can now listen to the program for the next seven days at this location. (Note: The Rozz interview begins around the one-hour and 15-minute mark.)

M INC. was formed in 2009 by Rozz, Terry Shrock (SHINE; since departed) on vocals and bass and Mike Mazzonetto (ex-PAIN PRINCIPLE) on drums. The group is said to be Rick's first foray into extreme music since the mid-'90s and his MASSACRE days. Indeed, the band was initially supposed to be called MASSACRE INC., but out of respect to MASSACRE's drummer Bill Andrews and a desire to not live in the past, the name was changed to M INC.

M INC. is:

Chris Jack (Vocals)
Mike Mazzonetto (Drums)
Timmy Vazquez (Bass, Vocals)
Rick Rozz (Guitars)

M INC. contributed an exclusive track, "Angel of Descent", to the Fall of Eden Records compilation "Fallen Souls". The CD features 14 other bands, including GORE SANCTUM (U.K.),MISCONDÜCTERS (U.K.) and MORDETH (Brazil).

Over the past decade, Rick has played in a number of other projects, including southern rock and acoustic bands.

Rozz was a member of the pre-DEATH band MANTAS alongside Chuck Schuldiner and Kam Lee and played on DEATH's seminal and unforgettable "Leprosy" album. As part of MASSACRE, he helped produce those massively influential demos that set the '80s tape trading scene alight and the classic album "From Beyond", not to mention the superb EP "Inhuman Condition".
