history
The band was founded in 1990 by guitarist Dennis Munoz, drummer Alex Marquez and singer / guitarist Rob Barrett (Cannibal Corpse, ex- Malevolent Creation , Hateplow ). In 1991 they recorded their first demo which was produced by Jim Morris . In 1992 their debut album Solstice , which was initially called The Sentencing , was recorded. Due to internal problems, however, the band broke up the following year. Barrett and Marquez meanwhile played with the band Malevolent Creation. In 1994 Munoz and Marquez played in the hardcore band Anger . In 1995 Solstice reunited with a new line-up. The second album Pray was released in the same year, but the band separated again shortly afterwards. Solstice got together again in 2008 and released their third album To Dust in 2009.
style
The sound of the works is described as a mixture of Thrash Metal and Death Metal, for which the use of fast-played blastbeats is particularly characteristic.
