The reunited South Florida death/thrash metal band SOLSTICE will release its new album, "To Dust", on November 24 via CDBaby. 11 songs were laid down during the sessions for the CD, including a cover of an old song by the Miami progressive metallers CYNIC.

"To Dust" track listing:

01. Black
02. To Dust
03. Honest Human Emotion
04. Conclusion Disillusion
05. Sovereignty
06. Swarm
07. Moment of Clarity
08. Passionless
09. Extremes (CYNIC cover)
10. Impressive Technology
11. The Whisper

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
Brian Harris: Drums
Garrett Scott: Bass

The new tracks posted come nowhere near the sheer ferocity of the debut album.  I am really disappointed.

The bass tone, dbass, and vocals are pretty annoying on the 2 new tracks ... I'd have liked the shredddddddddd to kinda be the star of the production. The sudden breaks/ riff variations remind me of what Suffocation's done on Blood Oath.
