Originally rising from the ashes of Godspeed, New Jersey’s Solace celebrate their 30th anniversary this year with the release of their fifth studio album ‘Fading Failing Ruin’, their first in seven years. They’ve just completed their biggest run of gigs in those 30 years with a successful European tour including a prominent appearance at the Desertfest, so fans may already be familiar with one or two of the new tracks from what is a huge new chapter in the band’s career.

Holy feck, it’s feckin’ warm out there… and even the Club’s state-of-the-art aircon is struggling with the conditions… of course, it’s cause isn’t helped by the fact that we’re blasting the hottest tunes to have landed in our inbox, and subsequently on our ever-spinning deathdecks, over the past seven days.
