Read the interview done by The Silver Tongue with Clint Bussey of Before the Solstice.  The interview becomes painfully honest and it's a great look behind the veil of a band that speaks in symbols and myth.

Performer Magazine - Live Review

Inspired by time, death, mystery, energy, duality, and hope, Before the Solstice combines lyrically-rich songs with a melodic and dynamic soundscape.

Among the myriad of Atlanta-based musicians, Before the Solstice inadvertently connected through their respective escape from cult religions.  Channeling their experience through their instruments, a unique, powerful and bittersweet sound arises, filled with symbolism and conviction.
