Internationally acclaimed SYMPHONY X guitar hero, Michael Romeo will release his eagerly anticipated first official solo album, the adventurous and diverse “War of the Worlds / Pt. 1”, on July 27th thru Music Theories Recordings / Mascot Label Group.

Watch the lyric video for “Djinn” from the album, here:

Michael Romeo on Djinn:

“This is one of my favorite riffs on the album. The album title is ‘War of the Worlds’, but in this case, the ‘Worlds’ refers to the worlds of politics and religion.”

The wildly ambitious 10-song disc sees the founder, chief songwriter and prime mover of the progressive titans Symphony X furthering his reputation as one of the world’s preeminent axe slingers and composers of adventurous, multi-faceted orchestral metal. Ban

“It’s me putting all the things I love about music in a blender,” says Romeo. “Somebody might listen to it and say, ‘What is this guy thinking?’ But it’s all about being creative and having a good time with it.”
