As expected the musicians involved brought a lot
of ideas to the table including the God Of The Sun
collection proposed by Derek. “One of the first things
I turned into Mike was the God Of The Sun trilogy and
he heard it and said it was perfect as it is we don’t need
to add any more composition to it and he thought it
should open up the record! So I was really happy that
he liked that song so much. It’s an extremely strong
opener” discusses Derek. “God Of The Sun was my sole
composition which I wrote section by section and I took
a lot of time on it as it there is three definitive parts. I’d
say there is about two weeks’ worth of writing before
it got to the final form when you put it all together”
Psychotic Symphony is due for release on the 20th
October and SONS OF APOLLO are already looking
beyond this into future releases! “I now know what
Ron Thal is capable of as a musician which is fucking
amazing, I’m really excited for what the next record
is going to be but for now we are going to focus on
the release of Psychotic Symphony and take this thing
on tour” declares Derek. “We are going to be touring
throughout 2018 and hopefully into 2019. Everyone
knows in this band that SONS OF APOLLO has the
biggest chance of exploding and doing something
new and fresh and that’s the bottom line, that people
navigate to where it’s warm and SONS OF APOLLO
is going to generate the most heat! We are really
excited to see what happens.”
“Labels are labels, in a sense it kinda is a
supergroup like the Marvel superheroes, the
Avengers!
