Sons of Apollo is a new supergroup featuring members of Dream Theater, Mr. Big, Guns ‘N Roses, and Journey, including Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Billy Sheehan and Jeff Scott Soto. Their debut album, Psychotic Symphony, was released on Oct. 20 via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music.
“Derek and I reunited shortly after I left Dream Theater in 2010 and we put together an all-instrumental touring band with Billy Sheehan and Tony MacAlpine,” Portnoy said. “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.”
Tony MacAlpine
