One of the most impressive modern guitarists.

Marc started as a guitarist for the nu-metal band Ill Nino and took part in their two most successful and breakthrough albums. After that he joined the legendary Max Cavalera (ex-Sepultura) and his band Soulfly in 2005. He participated in two of their albums so far and had a mighty influence at the sound and the complexity of Soulfly’s music. He released two solo albums so far “Colossal Myopia” in 2005 and “The Ultimate Devotion” in 2007. Now he’s also playing in Cavalera Conspiracy, a project of Max and his brother Igor, Sepulturas ex-drummer.

I’m really not a big fan of so called shredders but this guy is massive. First album (and the best album so far) shows a mix of Rizzo’s love for old school metal, jazz and flamenco. It is an incredibly fast mix of guitar shred and catchy progressive riffing and more calm flamenco songs with jazzy structures and some minor tribal influences. This is somehow different from other guitar master’s albums, the album is really catchy and most of people who heard it once will definitely listen to it again.
