Rock guitarist
Ron Marks, former guitarist for the legendary Swiss metal group
CELTIC FROST and founder of
SUBSONIC, has signed a distribution and development deal with
DSN Music.
Marks will make three previously released
SUBSONIC albums —
"Super-Vel",
"No Such Soul" and
"Blood Groove" — available on a compilation box set titled
"Trifecta".
"This is certainly not my first rodeo," said
Marks, "but it is my pleasure to sign with a company as professional and modern as
DSN. The high level of respect and attention to details that they devote to their artists has all but vanished within the music industry."
Marks performed as lead guitarist for
CELTIC FROST in 1987, and toured the U.K. and U.S. with the group in support of the
"Into The Pandemonium" release. He is also credited as a co-writer on
CELTIC FROST's 1990 album
"Vanity/Nemesis". After his stint with
CELTIC FROST,
Marks decided to move on and fufill a lifelong dream to create his own project.
In 2000,
Marks founded and launched the
SUBSONIC, which spawned six albums:
"Super-Vel",
"No Such Soul",
"Blood Groove",
"Honeycomb",
"Mach Ten" and
"Hell's Half". Three music videos (
"Dream American",
"A Day Late" and
"Fix") were released as well.
SUBSONIC explores irreverent social visions and affirms how satire eclipses doctrine.
"When
SUBSONIC and
DSN joined forces, I thought, 'Why release only one album? Why not a box set of three?'" stated
Marks. "They agreed and
'Trifecta' is the result. This release catalogs
'Super-Vel',
'No Such Soul',
'Blood Groove' and the evolution of
SUBSONIC to that point. An evolution that continues forward."
Marks has received high honors in the rock industry over several decades, and is endorsed by major music brands such as
Dean guitars,
Marshall amps,
S.I.T. strings and
Steve Clayton products.
"Trifecta" is scheduled for a worldwide release via
DSN Music this fall, and will be available via online and mobile stores such as
Amazon.com,
iTunes,
Rhapsody.com,
Google Music,
Spotify,
eMusic.com,
iHeartRadio and hundreds more.
