Colossal Myopia
The Story
Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo, also a founding member of Il Nino, is a master musician with deep musical roots in metal shred, classical and flamenco guitar. "Colossal Myopia" is an all instrumental guitarfest, and reveals Rizzo to be a highly talented axeman and a much needed breath of fresh air to the instrumental rock genre. "Colossal Myopia" is a mixture of all the music that Rizzo listens to. It's a combination of metal nuevo, flamenco and jazz. "i don't really listen to one type of music and I think my record showcases that," explained Rizzo. "It's an all-instrumental CD for music lovers that want to enjoy pure music without all the politics and negative lyrical content." Rizzo went on to describe some of the music: "The title track is a song that I wrote while trying to combine heavy riffing with flamenco buleria rhythms. "Introspection Of An Introvert" is pure shred metal, while "The Pinata Hits Back" is nuevo flamenco guitar with salsa-style percussion."
