But it actually took me a while to come back round to the idea of Solstice being active again, and in 2007 I started to put things back together when I finally realized I missed playing. There were many factors, both Rick and I originally quit the band in late 2002 it was the only way we could be rid of the burden and make a clean break from all the bullshit. Solstice returned, officially, in 2013, with the fabulous EP "Death's Crown is Victory", after 15 years of absence, and after launching the now classic "New Dark Age".
Isn’t this what most musicians are supposed to be doing?
I feel we are considerably more handsome (OK, that was a joke!), better musicians, and fully focused in creating the heaviest metal alchemy we can rather than acting like cry-baby’s on the world wide web and bemoaning our lack of success. How are you and how do you feel in this new stage of Solstice? Rich, it's really an honor to be able to talk to someone who has contributed so much to the best heavy music of our history. He is very authentic and an experienced veteran in the fields of Doom and Heavy Metal, so here I leave you with one of the last great heroes of the almighty riff. Richard is a very particular individual, who has no problems expressing his opinions, even if they are not politically correct (Bobby Liebling of Pentagram would not be very happy if he read this interview :joy: ). After ten years they came back with a great epic album called "White Horse Hill", and seeing that the album was going half unnoticed motivated me to do this.įor those things in life, then the interview was not published in any other media, so you will be the only ones to read it. If you are in the genre, you may remember albums like "Lamentations" or "New Dark Age", already cult classics in the Underground circuit. And, although I'm not dedicating myself to this for now, I wanted to share an interview I was able to do, a few months ago, with Richard Walker, guitarist and leader of the British band of Epic Doom Metal, Solstice. Like many of you, I am a big fan of Doom Metal, in all its facets.
