( votes)Psychotic Symphony is the debut record from American Rock Band and supergroup Sons Of Apollo. Mike Portnoy has been involved with a wide and variegated series of bands, from Dream Theater to Avenged Sevenfold to Adrenaline Mob, and most recently, The Winery Dogs, among others. Sons Of Apollo finds Portnoy working with legendary bassist Billy Sheehan (Talas, Steve Vai Band, David Lee Roth Band, Mr. Big, Winery Dogs), Guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Bumblefoot, Guns N’ Roses, Art Of Anarchy), vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (TransSiberian Orchestra, Journey, Yngwie Malmsteen) and fromer Dream Theater keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Black Country Communion, Yngwie Malmsteen, Alice Cooper, KISS).
Sons Of Apollo quite possibly represents the most impressive line up of rock musicians to work together in a decade or more, and they live up to the hype. The progressive elements you would expect to hear from Dream Theater alums is present, but presented in a quintessential rock context. The record showcases the abundant chops of all the players without losing listenability. Well written songs, excellent production, and excellent performances make Psychotic Symphony a must listen. Modern rock edge, classic rock flavor, progressive elements and stellar performances by some of the biggest names in the rock world will satisfy fans of every artist’s individual efforts, and fans of Modern Rock, Classic Rock, and Progressive Rock will enjoy Psychotic Symphony.
