Venus Syndrome has their second album Cannibal Star out in October. They apparently began as MetroTheater, a tribute to the long-running melodic prog band Dream Theater. Drummer Thibaud Pontet (Eternal Flight), guitarist Ayman Mokdad (Alien Encounters), keyboardist Rodolfo Lima Sproesser (Goiana, Tahra, Heretic, Floyd Rose cover Pink Floyd), bassist Florian Guidat and vocalist Emmanuelson (Ellipsis, Rising Steel, Hydroflame) then decided to find their own personality in the prog world. By the way, Venus Syndrome does not sound like Dream Theater, and if anything, they are kind of in the sound family of Symphony X in terms of grooving and chunkiness. Here in the U.S. fans of traditional, melodic prog, whether Symphony X, Queensrÿche, Fates Warning or Dream Theater may get a kick of out this album. Of course, fans of Evergrey might also want to check this album because of the Symphony X-Evergrey spectrum of chunky/grooving guitar prog. Finally, fans of melodic singing may want to hear this male, dramatic singing. You never know with studio magic, but on the album this singing sounds rather strong and with lots of personality.
