What a huge and heavy sound. The production is so fat yet crystal clear it will bring you to your knees. Possibly the best production I have ever heard. Not forgetting the songs they are very catchy, melodic, full of great riffs and solos. No happy or silly sounding choruses. The singer Andy B. Frank is simply one of the best out there today reminding me a lot of Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage) but I also hear a little Dirk Thurisch (Angel Dust) and Bruce Dickinson for good measure. He is also the frontman from another excellent band called Brainstorm who are also on the heavier more aggressive side of power metal. Musically Symphorce sounds like a combination of Brainstorm, Nevermore, Iced Earth, and Angel Dust. There is even a bit of an old Megadeth touch to boot. No wonder I like this band so much. After the somewhat forgetable opening track Symphorce delivers the goods with the rest of the album. Good song writing with modern and mature arrangements. If you are into very heavy\/melodic power metal and top-quality musicianship this album is a must!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"review-comments\" class=\"a-row review-comments cr-vote-action-bar\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705194545398,"sku":"stp1789819409795","price":11.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/4907\/6470\/files\/symphorce---phorceful-ahead-new-gold-vinyl-2023-brainstorm-vocalistmelodic-prog-_1.jpg?v=1789819413","url":"https:\/\/intentionalcladfit.shop\/products\/symphorce-phorceful-ahead-new-gold-vinyl-2023-brainstorm-vocalistmelodic-prog-power","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
