Sons of Apollo announce new live album ‘Live With The Plovdiv Psychotic Symphony’

SONS OF APOLLO have announced a new live album!

Titled Live With The Plovdiv Psychotic Symphony, the upcoming live album from the progressive metal is scheduled to be released in August this year.

The upcoming live album captures the band’s remarkable one-off performance at the Ancient Roman Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria alongside a full orchestra & choir, playing tracks from their debut album Psychotic Symphony as well as a selection of tracks by legendary bands.

Speaking about the upcoming live album, drummer Mike Portnoy says, I’ve released several dozen live albums through the years with about a dozen different bands, but I have to say that this live release from SONS OF APOLLO may indeed be the most special one of them all!! Everything was aligned that evening: an absolutely beautiful Roman amphitheatre and a perfectly gorgeous summer evening, one set of SOA material and one set of specially chosen cover songs, and to top it all off being joined by a symphony orchestra and choir…it was a magical evening for everybody in attendance and now we can share it with the rest of the world immortalized in this incredible live package. This package will serve as a nice souvenir to capture the band’s first year on tour and should tide over all of our fans while we complete work on our sophomore studio release that will coming in Jan 2020.”
