He currently uses a Washburn seven-string single-cut guitar.

In 2004, Rizzo created the indie Phlamencore Records with younger brother Luke. Since has released two sampler CD's (international distro) and three full-lengths.

Rizzo grew up in Carlstadt, New Jersey,[2] where he attended Henry P. Becton Regional High School.

In 2020, Rizzo started his new death metal side project Revenge Beast.[citation needed]

In August 2021, Rizzo departed Soulfly after 18 years with the band.[3] Rizzo said in an interview that he got no support from Soulfly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rizzo went further saying “I was doing home renovations, working very hard, 10 hours a day,” he explained. “A Soulfly live record came out [last year, Live Ritual NYC MMXIX]. I never saw a dime of that. So basically, within the [first] six [or] seven months of Covid, I just said, ‘You know, man, I don't want this anymore. I gave you guys 18 years of my life, “And it was a great time. Back in the good years, it was great. But the last eight to 10 years have not been very good".[4]

In October 2021, Marc Rizzo returned to Ill Niño, where he performed as their original guitarist from 1998 until his departure in 2003.
