I wholeheartedly recommend this album to everybody. There is not a single bad song and they are all so amazing in their own ways and the topics that the songs are about are so deep and ugh the music is so amazing especially Kevin Moores keyboards and every single thing about this album is amazing and I could talk about it for hours and hours

NEWS: Mike Portnoy rejoins Dream Theater after a 13 year absence!

I did not see this coming! Mike Portnoy is back in the band he co-founded 40 years ago, Dream Theater. Ex-drummer Mike Mangini was a great fit, and he was beloved by fans, myself included. But there is something about having the founding guy, and a chief writer, back in the band.  Dream Theater are heading into the studio to make their first album with Portnoy in 14 years.  As for Mangini, he…

This is song #2 from the second and final album by the progressive metal supergroup Sons of Apollo.

It released two albums:

Psychotic Symphony (2017)

MMXX (2020)

The band was formed in 2017 with:

Mike Portnoy - drums

Billy Sheehan - bass

Derek Sherinian - keyboards

Jeff Scott Soto - vocals

Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal - guitars

Mmm… Wait! Bumblefoot? (Ha ha. Err…) Was he clumsy? No. He was helping his wife study for her veterinary exams and in the process he learned about this bacterial infection. "The name went from being just the name of an album, to the name of a record label, to a band name, to eventually his name as a solo artist."

My point of interest for this song Wither to Black is that it was based on a riff written by Mr Bumblefoot - initially called Rushgarden - because it sounded like a mixture of Rush and Soundgarden.

[Yes, it does. Plus the vocals reference a 'modern day' in a line! Good to see Rush-inspired great music.]
