Everything MP is doing is much more exciting to me than whatever DT is doing. DT may come up with something great but to me it's still not DT without MP. Just a coincidence I was listening to SX all day at work today? Yeah probably...

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

This has off the chart potential to be fucking amazing.

 

[VenomGA]

SWEET!! wonder who the guitar player will be??

 

[labrekk]

Didn't Russell say that he was working on a solo album recently? Maybe Portnoy will be the drummer and that's the "project" he's talking about?

 

[Pellaz]

Sheesh, just because a guy hops on a horse and jousts all day...so Mike calls him "Sir."

--Oh, wait.

 

[Bear]

Didn't M Shadows say that Mike was "Press release" Happy? :zombie: I just hope this happens...

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

As long as he sticks to drumming then great! Singing bad.

 

[adaher]

This should kick enormous amounts of ass.

 

[batmura]

Does anyone know if this is a project or Russell Allen's second solo album?

 

[Pelata]

Seems kinda hasty...and seems to step on Russell's recent Symphony X talk...Mike does love the press release, doesn't he?

But, in fairness, it was on his Twitter account and not an "official" press release...although he had to know it would get picked up and ran...

 

[NVARAS]

Just as long as MP does no backing vocals... this should be a good listen. Allen is excellent!

 

[BRAND SPRAGINS]

interesting, i like the sounds of this.

 

[Burke]

With such an amazing vocalist as Allen, this really could really be something else.


I think the awesomeness quotient of this project though, is directly proportional to the amount of time Mike uses a microphone

If I have to hear anything similar to

"It's a miracle he lived
It's a blessing no one died
By the grace of god above
Everyone survived - hooooooaayyyaaahhhhhhhhhhhhrrrgh!!!!!!"

I might have to set the CD on fire......

 

[nomisofsiman]

I will have to wait and see about this. It has potential but a lot of times these collaborations don't end up being worth the hype.

I love that part! I guess I am in the very small minority when it comes to liking Portnoy's vocals.

 

[Soundscape]

not being a fan of Symphony X, and Allen's vocals with them, I'm very much at a wait-and-see here.

So, could this be the new band that will feature Portnoy:
