Molotov Solution is an American deathcore band from Las Vegas, Nevada.^[1][2][3] Formed in 2004, the group is currently signed to BlkHeart Group. They are notable for their politically-charged lyrics, which include themes of government conspiracies and world issues.

History

Molotov Solution was founded during 2004, the group's first release, "The Path To Extinction" was finished and released in 2005 and again in 2006 the band provided one half of a split release album with War from a Harlots Mouth.

In 2008 they released a self titled full length album that had a "much more groove oriented approach". As guitarist Robbie Pina stated in Jason Bracelin's "Sounding Off" column;

“	"I was kind of tired of writing riff after riff after riff, not really repeating anything, I wanted to make very solid songs and make things distinguishable on the album."	”
—[4]

Both the split album with War from a Harlots Mouth and the self titled album were released on Twelve Gauge Records in 2006. Later in 2008, the entire line-up except for guitarist Robbie Pina and bassist Kevin Oakley left the band for unstated reasons. This resulted in a change of musical style, along with a different vocal style by new vocalist, Nick Arthur.

On December 10, 2008, Molotov Solution signed to Metal Blade^[5] and a new full length album titled "The Harbinger", recorded by Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying in his personal studio, was released on June 9, 2009.^[6]

By Spring 2010, Collison, Oakley, and Johnson had left the band for their own reasons, but on good terms. Molotov Solution continued touring through 2010 on the No Time to Bleed tour, headlined by Suicide Silence.

On December 8, 2010, it was announced that Molotov Solution signed with BlkHeart Group. The band also announced a few member changes to the lineup. The band has currently announced that they have completed their third full length album, Insurrection which is due out through BlkHeart Group October 25th, 2011. ^[7]
