Solstice were an early part of the Florida scene who recorded their debut Pray at Morrisound, and shared members with Cannibal Corpse and Cynic. Their thrashy style may have caused them to be overlooked during death metal's Nineties heyday, but it allowed them to find acclaim with later heshers as the old school revival took hold.

I spoke with guitarist/co-founder Dennis Muñoz about the early years of Solstice, and their relationship to the rest of the Florida scene. We also discussed the creation of their latest album Casting the Die, and how they found an audience late in their career.

My thanks to Dennis for speaking with me, and to all of you for listening.
