"What really lifts him (Ron Marks) above any other contender is his extraordinary guitar playing, executed with the feel of someone who has a god-given talent for the instrument...His musical horizons extend and eclipse Martins and my own technical capabilities." - Tom Gabriel Fischer founder of Celtic Frost and author of the Frost biography "Are you Morbid?"
The legacy of Frost continues with the artists guitar heavy solo project: Subsonic. Celtic Frost have been hailed as a big influence by Kurt Cobain and has helped spawn the styles of Nirvana, Metallica and Marilyn Manson. Subsonic brings Ron Mark's sound into the new era.
Marks, former guitarist for Celtic Frost follows up his debut "Super Vel" which was released on Canada's Outlaw Entertainment in 2002, with brand new, hard hitting material titled "No Such Soul", and a lead single that is perfect for the state of the world today with "Dream American". The album will be available worldwide at such stores as Best Buy, Tower, Borders and many regional and independent retail chains.
Keep a look out for the new CD in stores this fall, and in the meantime check out the Subsonic site at www.celticfrost.com/subsonic
Anand Bhatt President of Sonic Wave International says, "I'm really excited to release the new Subsonic project! Celtic Frost and Ron Marks fans will be VERY pleased. We have always been a strong
independent force in heavy music, and its an honor that Ron chose us to put out the new release."
Ron is a resident of Hermitage PA and has performed in several music related projects as well as recording as Subsonic for the last 5 years. In his youth he and friend Dan Laudo (drummer for Prong) played in a band with none other than Trent Reznor. He has been called "an unusual and almost heavier version of Frank Zappa."
You can read more about Ron in the Celtic Frost biography "Are You Morbid?" by Tom Gabriel Fischer on Sanctuary Books.
