Tony Campos Releases Statement Regarding His Non-appearance At The Upcoming STATIC X & PRONG Tour!

"El Asesino", also known as Tony Campos, is currently touring with SOULFLY in support of their crushing NEW album 'Enslaved' (out now via Roadrunner Records), for which he wrote and recorded all the bass parts. Tony also wrote and recorded all the bass parts on Prong's NEW epic album 'Carved Into Stone', which is available now via Long Branch Records.

Recently, STATIC X and PRONG announced the "Noise Revolution Tour". The big question all of the fans have is whither or not Campos will be part of this tour. Here is what Campos posted on his Facebook page regarding this matter:

"I keep getting asked about this Static-X / Prong tour coming up, so I want to clear up a few things. I have no interest in working with Wayne Static, now, or anytime in the foreseeable future, so I will not be part of this version of Static-X. As for Prong, I will not be performing with them due to my current commitments to Soulfly. However, I do look forward to working with Prong again in the near future. If you haven't checked out Carved Into Stone yet, what the hell are you waiting for? \m/"

El ASESINO Tony Campos Talks About Joining Max Cavalera's SOULFLY; Recording With MINISTRY & PRONG

"El Asesino", also known as Tony Campos, is currently touring with SOULFLY in support of their crushing NEW album 'Enslaved' (out now via Roadrunner Records), for which he wrote and recorded all the bass parts. Tony also wrote and recorded all the bass parts on Prong's NEW epic album 'Carved Into Stone', which is available now via Long Branch Records.

Additionally, Tony recorded a handful of songs for 'Relapse', the NEW MINISTRY album (available now via 13th Planet Records). Tony confirmed to us that he is permanent member of SOULFLY and that he won't be part of the "retirement" shows that MINISTRY has planned later this year.

Right before SOULFLY devoured New York City's The Gramercy Theatre, we ran into Tony and caught up with him. During the chat we discussed his decision to join SOULFLY, how he manages to work on so many projects all the time, and how bass playing changed his life! Check out our brief interview with Tony "El Asesino" Campos.

Headbanger's Ball - 2nd Annual Dimebash Special (Starring: Phil Demmel, Tony Campos & Jeff Kendrick)

On Wednesday, December 14th, the Heavy Music community came together at The Key Club in Hollywood, California, for the 2011 Dimebash. The event was held in honor of the legacy of Darrell Lance Abbott (Dimebag Darrell), who together with the Pantera boys (Phil Anselmo, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown), change the path of Heavy Music in the 1990s.

All of the proceeds from the event benefited the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up & Shout Cancer Fund.

Here are a series of interviews conducted by Jose Mangin from MTV 2's Headbangers Ball, featuring Phil Demmel (Machine Head), Tony Campos (Soufly, Prong Ministry, Possessed), and Jeff Kendrick (DevilDriver).
