Solstice is a doom metal band from England.

Biography

Solstice is a Doom metal band from England, founded by Rich Walker after the breaking up of his previous crust punk band Sore Throat. Together with the legends of Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus, Solstice is one of the most important bands who expanded the epic side of traditional doom metal, amply demonstrated by their classic releases: "Lamentations" and "Halcyon".

Rich Walker also runs The Miskatonic Foundation, a record label dedicated to Doom and classic Heavy Metal.
