Marc Rizzo of Soulfly / Cavelera Conspiracy joins DEAD BY WEDNESDAY

Connecticut metal band Dead by Wednesday is currently enjoying the success of their greatly praised latest EMP Label Group release “The Darkest of Angels.” With the complexity of their newer sound, they have decided to add a second guitar player to their lineup: Marc Rizzo of Soulfly and Cavelera Conspiracy, and original songwriter and founding member of Ill Nino. Marc has been a long-time friend and collaborator of DBW’s drummer, Opus, and is featured on a new track, ‘The Surgeon.” He will be writing and recording on their next album, and doing select tours and shows around his Soulfly schedule.

Marc and DBW are excited about this new venture. Marc has released the following statement:

“I am excited to announce that I will be joining one of my new favorite bands Dead by Wednesday! When I have time off from Soulfly, I will be playing shows and recording a new record with DBW!!! DBW newest record is one of the best records of this year, and I’m stoked to play live with these guys soon!!! LET’S shred!!”

Look for their acoustic tour together in July & their debut full band show as well when Marc returns back from Europe this early fall.
