The 12 track album titled “RIO CLEO” is an eclectic mix of progressive, alternative, and pure hard rock, reminiscent of works from the Grammy award nominated album “NO SUCH SOUL” from SUBSONIC.

Marks performed as lead guitarist for CELTIC FROST in 1987 and toured the U.K. and U.S. with the group in support of the “INTO THE PANDEMONIUM” release. He is also credited as a co-writer on their 1990 album “VANITY/NEMESIS”.
