I don't really know where to begin; on one hand it feels like I've found some hidden treasure, on the other hand I feel like kicking myself for being so blind. What I'm talking about is this:
http://www.symphonyx.com/cd-redemption.htm
I was checking out the different sections of the SX site, trying to see if any of them had been updated in the last few months, when all of a sudden I saw this Redemption cd there. I'd never heard of the band, but the tracklist looked damn interesting, and to see that a SX guest appearance graced the album was reason enough for me to click on the link to the page. Great was my surprise (rather like humongous!) when I saw this was actually some monster-project between members of all kinds of different metal bands: there's Bernie Versailles, the lead guitarist of Agent Steel, Ray Alder, Rick Mythiasin (Steel Prophet-vox), our very own Jason Rullo and Michael Romeo, and so on. Now, people do tell me I have a comical tendency to bring up 'news' everyone (everyone but me) has known for ages, but this is ridiculous
I really don't understand how such a huge project could have passed me by completely, especially considering I do actually visit the official sites of the bands whose members are participating. I would've thought something would be posted about it there at least. Well, surprise and shock aside, I downloaded the samples that are available there and am tremendously impressed, and have decided to make it my new goal in life to hunt down this disc. One question remains though; am I really the only one who didn't know of the existence of this project?
