2018-2025

It is a great relief to finally declare my departure from Solstice. Although we went our separate ways last June, I chose to embargo any revelation until the band were good and ready to say it themselves. Nine months later, their Equinox announcement offers opportunity to reflect on the seven years I spent on bass duties.

I joined Solstice in 2018, having left previous band The Enchanted around fifteen years prior. Being a long-time fan since the demo days, the chance to play the songs I grew up on was sufficient to coax me out of retirement. Coming back to the challenge of making music instead of just appreciating it, it took a while for rusty hands to find their form, with weekly rehearsals in Huddersfield essential to getting my playing up to scratch.

Although that year closed as I took tentative steps back on stage in London, it was in 2019 that the journey took stride. Playing to thousands across Europe at Keep It True, Up The Hammers, and Party.San, it was a privilege to share these festivals with highly lauded artists and a passionate fanbase – to whom I always bore my heart in performance.

Starting 2020 strong with shows in Rome and a Belgian castle, any momentum soon crashed to a halt – along with the events industry and world in general. With entire populations placed under house arrest, it was hard to persist under the immediacy of making sense of the moment.

Band members came and went, and others declared their opposition to the age with vociferous conviction – earning enmity for unyielding words. It was a very different Solstice that emerged from these trials three years later…

… and one that never quite gelled with me as it once did. Suddenly finding myself in the firing line for words spoken by others, with dishonourable demands to distance or discredit, I felt doors close far faster than they had opened. The message, and the perceived need to set and be set an example in all arguments, became louder than the music.

Inspired again by the label signing, I continued with a number of high profile gigs through 2024. Ever alert to physical reprisal threatened in forums, the distractions were high and my playing sometimes sloppy, with joyless tension far tauter than any string. Pulling in professional effort before I started my Academy studies culminated in a far more successful September which saw a standout show at Prophecy Fest and a mini-tour across Finland.

With members dispersed across England and Wales, in-person rehearsals were few and far between, and time spent together increasingly bitter as frustrations came to the fore. Unaccustomed to playing remotely and home recording beyond synth-dabbles, I struggled with the new way of doing things and especially not meeting bandmates for months on end.

Balancing the band with studies and weekend work was a challenge in itself, and although I prioritised rehearsals in my calendar, short-notice cancellations and rescheduling took their toll. My final rehearsal with the band was over a year ago, and despite sustaining my availability (to the point of losing work shifts) and practising nightly between assessments, we had no further in-person contact.

It was an untenable situation, draining and unhealthy for everyone. After being presented with an unbalanced ultimatum during assessment week where my attempts to discuss the matter in person were rebuked, I chose to leave.

The relief comes from closure. My life has hardly stopped since last June, with studies and more taking precedence now I can devote my better energies towards them. I will keep the Solstice section up on the website, as to minimise my involvement would be reductive, craven cowardice.

But also I look forward to the long-awaited next album, having played a part in its foundation. There is some magnificent music to come, whenever it comes, and I will eagerly listen with the same spirit as those in the front row who inspired me to continue.

#PartySan 2025 überstanden.
#Scalpture hat halb #Ostwestfalen vor die Bühne gezogen (und witzigerweise campte ein Trupp Bielefelder durch Zufall genau neben Metal Inferno Paderborn).
Der Hauptbühnen-Auftritt war hoch verdient und die Jungs hatten Bock.
Und Munition. 🤘

Gerade habe ich aus versehen die "Left to Die" aus Oklahoma City (statt der "Death" Tribute Truppe) laufen lassen... 😅

Ich hab' lange keine Band mehr "überflüssig" genannt - aber DIE sind's. 🙃

So. Genug gelästert. Jetzt kommt das Original zur #PartySan-Einstimmung:

Was dem #PartySan leider fehlte, waren klar deklarierte Dosenpfand-Spende-Tonnen, wie man sie vom #RockHardFestival kennt.

...andererseits läuft man auf dem Flugplatz selten eine Bierlänge vom Camp zum Infield. (Jedenfalls wenn man mittwochs ankommt.) 😉

- Helslave
- Skitsystem

Auch nicht schlecht:
- Mentor

Sehr geil:
- Wilt spielen nächstes Jahr und freuen sich schon wie Bolle

Das #PartySan letzte Woche war ein sehr schönes Festival mit vielen guten Konzerten, einer fabelhaften @FDGL Camp-Gruppe, perfektem Wetter, viel Heiterkeit und 'ner Menge an tollen Begegnungen.

Ein besonderes Highlight war auch das geglückte Metalhead.club-Mini-Usertreffen zwischen @DaniFilz und mir. Das hat mich wirklich sehr gefreut.

Wieso bin ich eigentlich nicht auf dem #partysan ? Aso ja kein Urlaub und zwei Kinder. Irgendwann werden die mal einfach mitgenommen.

Die Liebste hat eine #PartySan Playlist gemacht, in der von jeder Band zwei Songs drin sind. Die Liste ist in der Reihenfolge sortiert, wie die Bands auftreten und läuft schon den ganzen Tag. Zeitgleich streicht sie auf der ausgedruckten Running Order mit Textmarker an, was wir uns _unbedingt_ ansehen müssen…. das ganze Blatt ist leuchtend gelb 🤷🏻‍♂️

Das wird ein Fest nächste Woche! 🤘

Werde also lieber zu Mentor gehen - das fetzt jedenfalls. 🤘
