SYMPHONY X Frontman Discusses New Album, Project With MIKE PORTNOY In Video Interview
When asked about his new project with former DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy and guitar virtuoso Mike Orlando (SONIC STOMP), Russell said, "I can't really give too much away at the moment. But yeah, it's a pretty serious thing. But it's not a progressive thing; it's a straight-up rock band with just rock songs — kind of like an edgy, modern kind of sound. It's not progressive or trying to be too metal or anything — it's just good, old crunchy rock stuff. I think it will be really well received by people who like to hear that kind of stuff. This is a new thing for Portnoy and myself, too. I've always done kind of done stuff with AYREON, but that's more of a vintage-y vibe, but nothing like this, which is kind of modern-sounding, almost like ROB ZOMBIE meets BLACK LABEL SOCIETY meets DISTURBED, with [Ronnie James] Dio singing. It's all this kind of craziness. So it's definitely different and it's cool. At this point, we're just getting the work done and getting the songs done. [Portnoy's] wrapped with the drums, I think Paul is doing the bass. We're probably gonna keep most of my pre-production vocals that I recorded at my studio with Michael Orlando, because the takes were just fun; they're great. And Portnoy is so talented and amazing; he just came in and played right to what I sang to. And that's just unheard of. Mostly the drummer has to go first and he lays down whatever and you've gotta go back and you've gotta redo stuff. But with him, he can actually just play... I mean, I know there's other drummers that can do that, too, but I was just in awe watching him do on the drums what I do on the microphone — just get up there and do it, and be like a machine. It's just unbelievable."
