SONS OF APOLLO
FEATURING EX-MEMBERS OF DREAM THEATER, GUNS N’ ROSES AND JOURNEY
DEBUT ALBUM, ‘PSYCHOTIC SYMPHONY,’
DUE OUT OCTOBER 20 ON INSIDEOUTMUSIC/SONY MUSIC
APOLLO: The ancient Greek and Roman God of music and poetry.
SONS OF APOLLO: The new supergroup featuring members of Dream Theater, Mr. Big, Guns ‘N Roses, and Journey.
For the past few months, rumors have been circulating about a new secret project including former Dream Theater members Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian. Now, the time has come to make the grand and highly anticipated introduction to their new band, SONS OF APOLLO.
Reuniting to form SONS OF APOLLO, Portnoy and Sherinian have joined forces with Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), Billy Sheehan (The Winery Dogs, Mr. Big, David Lee Roth) and Jeff Scott Soto (ex-Journey, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force). Their debut album, PSYCHOTIC SYMPHONY, will be released October 20 on InsideOutMusic/Sony Music. An album teaser can be seen on InsideOutMusic’s official YouTube page here: https://youtu.be/kPN2DttzlZQ
PSYCHOTIC SYMPHONY was produced by the dynamic production duo of Portnoy and Sherinian, also affectionately known as “The Del Fuvio Brothers,” which is the nickname given to them over 20 years ago during their time together in Dream Theater.
SONS OF APOLLO got together very organically, as Portnoy explains: “Derek and I reunited shortly after I left Dream Theater in 2010 and we put together an all-instrumental touring band with he and I, Billy Sheehan, and Tony MacAlpine. That was my first time working with Derek since the ‘90s when he was in Dream Theater and it was just great to be working with him again. Ever since that tour, which was really just a one-off live thing, he has been nudging me to start a real, original, full-time band. The timing just had never been right, because I had too many other things on my plate. Long story short, the time was finally right to take the bait and put together a band.”
“Mike and I work at a relentless pace in the studio,” continues Sherinian. “The music is modern, but we have an old school soul. What is unique about SONS OF APOLLO is that we have true rock n’ roll swagger along with the virtuosity-- a lethal combination!”
But what to call the next great supergroup? “Derek was mainly the one behind the name,” says Portnoy. “I have a list that I keep on my phone of about a hundred different band names, which I constantly have to refer to every time I have a new band every year (laughs). So, I pulled up the list and Apollo was one of the names on the list. It was a word that both of us really liked. We started fiddling with different variations of the word. One of the original band names we were working with was Apollo Creed, the character from the ‘Rocky’ movies, but after lots of different discussions on different variations, Derek suggested SONS OF APOLLO and it seemed to stick. Apollo is the God of Music so with that in mind it seemed like a fitting name.”
Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian and Billy Sheehan previously toured together in 2012 and 2013 as PSMS (along with guitarist Tony MacAlpine), playing all instrumental versions from each of their previously recorded music. SONS OF APOLLO is the next logical progression by adding a vocalist and creating all-original material. The band incorporates the progressive style and individual technical prowess that Portnoy & Sherinian shared together in Dream Theater combined with the swagger and groove of Van Halen, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.
“I have known Mike and Derek for a long time, so when they came to me with Sons of Apollo, I jumped on this straight away,” says Thomas Waber, Label Manager/A&R International of InsideOutMusic. “However, the album they ended up recording exceeded my already high expectations by a long mile! We couldn’t be happier about it!”
SONS OF APOLLO will hit the road in 2018 for their first worldwide tour.
“This is a real band,” Portnoy declares. “This is going to pick up for me and Billy where The Winery Dogs left off, in terms of this being the next logical full-time thing for us. I’m not saying The Winery Dogs have broken up, because we haven’t, we’re just on a break. SONS OF APOLLO is absolutely going to be a full-time band and we plan on touring all over the world all throughout 2018 and, honestly, it is the priority for all five of us.”
Sherinian agrees, “We will go on a worldwide crusade in 2018 to bring SONS OF APOLLO to as many people as possible. Apollo was the God of Music, and we are his mighty offspring!”

ich war ob der Ankündigung des Line Up von Portnoys "Supergroup" doch schon etwas enttäuscht, lasse mich allerdings gerne eines besseren belehren.

Wieso? Sheehan ist super, Sherinian auch und ich mag Soto, nur Bumblefoot kenn ich nicht. Bin auch gespannt!

Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass man die restlichen Mitglieder dem Genre Prog METAL zuordnen könne.
Sheehan, Soto oder Bumblefoot würde ich, so gute Musiker sie auch sein mögen, nicht dazu zählen.
Hatte halt auf Allen, Matheos, Damian Wilson, Gildenlöw und dergleichen gehofft und demnach auf einen metallischen Anstrich.
Trotzdem werde ich dem Album natürlich eine Chance geben.

Danke!
Ich finde es legitim, dass man über ihn spricht. Aber er sollte mal wieder was liefern, was die ewigen Dream Theater/mit oder ohne Portnoy-Diskussionen rechtfertigt!

Mir gefielen Sie mit ihm und gefallen mir ohne ihn!
Da sein Können über jeden Zweifel erhaben ist, wäre mir am liebsten wenn er eine richtig geile Band an den Start bekommt und ich beides genießen könnte.

Portnoy war ja schon in seiner Zeit bei Dream Theater in anderen Bands/Projekten omnipräsent.
Jetzt wirkt das alles auf mich ein wenig plan und ziellos. The Winery Dogs waren für mich ein Griff ins Klo.
Und das von ihm als absolutes Meisterwerk angekündigte letzte Neal Morse Werk war mehr Stückwerk als alles andere.
Die ersten beiden Alben von DT ohne MP gefallen mir auch ausgesprochen gut. "The Astonishing" sehe ich eher als ein Petrucci Solo Release.

Natürlich liebe ich DT auch mit Portnoy ! Damit fing ja auch bei mir alles an ("When Dream And Day Unite", was für eine Entdeckung damals ! Und dann "Images" !...). Bloss finde ich dass der Mangini sich gut aus der Affäre zieht.
Ich fand dass MP damals zuviel geredet hat, er hat jedes Soundloch zugezimmert, seine "Blasts" und sein "Gebrüll" waren unnötig, er hat Labrie gedisst... Es wurde immer unsympathischer... Und dann kam sein Geheule als er aus der Band gekickt wurde...

Völlige Zustimmung. MP hat viel für die Prog Szene getan, gar keine Frage. Aber er ist ein Egomane und steht gerne im Vordergrund.
Am Besten fand ich, dass er DT eine längere Pause verordnen wollte, weil er sich ausgebrannt fühlte. Hätte er in den Band Pausen, die es sicherlich auch bei DT gibt mal die Hälfte seiner Projekte ruhen gelassen.
Interessant fand ich hingegen seine diesjährige Umsetzung von DT Material mit Haken Musiker.

John Petrucci: I'm Working on Integrating 8-String Guitars Into New Dream Theater Music
"I haven't played [an 8-string guitar]. This is my plan.
"In the same way back in 1994 when 'Awake' came out, when I got that first seven string - literally in the studio, in front of the guys, 'Hey check this out!' - we started writing, and that music came out of me playing that guitar; I want to approach the 8-string the same way.
"So it's something we're developing now. There's no schedule. When it happens one day and I get it, I want to be in the studio, pick it up, start writing, see what happens, and not really think to much about it.
"I think of it just kind of as an extension of range of the instrument."

Wenn das kommende Album dann die Qualität von "Awake" hat, darf er sich gerne wieder eine Saite mehr nehmen!

@Captain Howdy :
Alles kann, nichts muss.
Und alles, was Petrucci aus der Routine bringt, is generell zu begrüßen.
