Do you have any plans of releasing a solo album in the near future?
Yes, I'm also working on a solo album now, doing a side project myself. The only thing I know about it that it's not gonna be like Symphony X. Haha. I've just written a few songs and I'm still looking for players. I've been talking with record companies and Thomas here at InsideOut and it's gonna get done. It's just that right now Symphony X is my priority, my band and I wanna do everything to concentrate on it right now. But I've done a few songs and thinking just after this American tour I'll have the time to sit down and write a few more songs. It's gonna be pretty like a power four piece most of it and no keyboards, maybe for a track or two I'll have a piano player come in.
But are you thinking about metal or blues or something?
Yes, it's more of a blues rock sort of a thing. It'll have the heavier sound here and there, but it won't be dominantly one particular style. I'd cover a lot of different bases, but nothing in the progressive world. If I do it'll be for only one song maybe.
That's what I mean. I copied this from an interview with Russell of some months ago.
