Confirmation of the new album tour dates
Marc Rizzo Supports New Album, The Ulitmate Devotion, with North America Tour
Press release
Source: VQPR
To support Rizzo’s new masterpiece, he joins Primer 55 on a three month jaunt across the United States . The Ultimate Devotion is Marc Rizzo’s solo sophomore release on Shrapnel Records. This newly mastered work of shred-art comes on the coat-tails of his critically acclaimed debut album Colossal Myopia in 2006.
Being part of the new breed of young guitarists in contemporary bands, Rizzo has built a substantial following through his years of touring and recording with Soulfly and Metal Legend Max Cavalera. Rizzo’s raw energy combined with the talent of a new-generation shred-master is a much needed breath of fresh air to the instrumental rock genre.

Marc Rizzo was recruited by Max Cavalera to play lead guitarfor Soulfly, after a three-year career as the lead guitarist of Ill Nino.
In 2003 he and his brother Luke Rizzo created their own record label Phlamencore Records to release Marc's solo debut album. The record features 11 tracks of guitar styles ranging from Flamenco, Metal, to Jazz.
Marc is recording the new Soulfly record due out in the Summer of 2005 and will be touring with Soulfly all throughout the new year.
