Interviews: Symphony Of Destiny
On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview again the Symphonic Metal band, Symphony Of Destiny, from the USA. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.
1. “Rampage (Bastet)” continues your Egyptian mythology arc — what drew
you to this concept, and how do you weave it into the music?
Originally, I wrote and recorded the guitar tracks and programmed the drum
tracks first before naming the song and blending the back story with the song itself. The
way this song got its name is actually a bit of a funny story. One day, when I introduced
this song to my bandmates, I mentioned that this song ‘zooms’ because it is at 192
bpm, which was faster than any other song we had played. When our bassist at the
time heard me say that, she said, “Zoomies? Like cats with the zoomies?” Since that
day, this became the inside joke behind this song. But my point behind bringing this up is that this is how Rampage got its name. Rampage is a name we tie to the word ‘zoomies’
with cats, but we needed a way to tie this in with Egyptian mythology. By coincidence,
there is an Egyptian goddess of cats named Bastet, and she had quite an awesome
story about defeating Apophis, who is basically the final boss in Egyptian mythology. In
the end result, the song is about Bastet’s story about defeating Apophis in the form of a
rampage, but secretly, it is about cats with the zoomies.
2. How does “Rampage (Bastet)” build on your debut single “Exile of
Horus”?
“Rampage (Bastet)” is a contrasting theme from our debut single “Exile of
Horus” because “Exile of Horus” was a song that introduced the world to Symphony of
Destiny with a heroic symphonic power metal feel, with a positive message behind it.
“Rampage (Bastet)” is a totally different feel that includes elements of having a
doomy/symphonic metal intro, and thrashy sounding riffs, which focus on being
ferocious with inevitable intent to defeat an opponent. Another way this builds off of
Exile of Horus is that Rampage (Bastet) is a much faster song as well. It is a symbolic way
of showing that we are picking up speed by getting more serious as a band, saying, “We
are back, but this time, with claws!”
3. Can you walk us through the creation of the single, from writing to
recording and orchestrating the cinematic elements?
When going through the process of writing this song, I started with the guitar
riffs as usual, since I am a guitarist. Next, I programmed the drum tracks under the
guitar riffs. Not just a simple metal drum beat, I programmed drum beats that actually
complement the guitar riffs, to sound like the guitar and drums are having a conversation
with each other. Next, my bassist and I picked a day when we would meet up, and she
recorded her bass riffs. I coached her on how to play the riffs for each section of the song.
In other words, I told her what to play, but she played it. After this much work has been
done, is when I lay down the symphonic elements. You think the symphonic elements
would be created sooner in the process, but I specifically do this later so I can
complement the aggression already established in the song with appropriate orchestral
accompaniment. Once that is established, I gave this progress to my drummer to learn,
then made his own arrangement of playing the drum parts, while I worked with our
singer, Anne, in parallel on the lyrics. At this point in the EP, Anne writes the lyrics. I
simply help her polish up the placement of the words and create timestamps throughout
the song to make it easy for her to learn quickly. Once the words and the rhythmic
spacing of the lyrics are established, Anne creates the vocal melody that she sees
fit. Once the vocal composition is complete and drum arrangement is complete, the
song is ready for the official recording process. Our keyboardist prefers to keep the
symphonic elements that I program into the songs since both of us find that there is no need
to make any changes.
4. Your upcoming EP, Heroes of Egypt, seems ambitious — how do you
balance storytelling with keeping the music heavy and dynamic?
To achieve this goal of balancing the storytelling and keeping the music heavy
and dynamic, I step back and look at the bigger picture of the songs as a whole within
the EP. I ask myself, “What do we have? What could be missing?” Our opening song for
the EP will be titled “Chariot of Ra.” This will be the instrumental song that sounds the
most cinematic to make a strong statement to immediately let the listener know what
more there is to expect from us. The remaining surprise is the powerful vocals from
Anne in our 2 nd song in the EP, which will be our debut single, “Exile of Horus,”
establishing the heroic theme. The 3 rd track in the EP will be our song, “The Riddle,”
which is the most poetic song in the EP for a couple of reasons. The Riddle is about the
story of the sphinx, who asked a riddle that nobody was able to answer for a long time.
Almost every lyric line in that song has rhymes and has detailed dialogue, proving to
have the heaviest “storytelling” aspect by word. In this song, it talks about the person
who guessed the riddle correctly and lifted the curse in their home city. Last but not
least, we have “Rampage (Bastet)” which will be our closing song in the EP, that is
moving at high speed and aggression to end the EP with a slam dunk. When standing
back and looking at the bigger picture, we have: Introduction, Heroism, Courage, and
Inevitable Ferocity.
5. How involved are you in the visual and thematic aspects of your
releases? Does the mythology influence artwork, stage design, or
videos?
When it comes to directing the creation of the visual and thematic aspects of
the releases, I am 100% involved, because I need to provide a clear direction to the
artists for the cover art, and what I want the images to look like to carry out the intended
vision I have for each work. Between the black and white drawing artist and the colorist,
I give both of them detailed instructions on what I am looking for, and we make changes
along the way to make sure the work does the cover art justice. In terms of how the
scenes are going to look in the cover art, I am also basically the person who has
already decided what the end result will look like. What I normally do is I list out my
ideas to my bandmates so I can get feedback from them. I do this often so I can keep
them well-informed and avoid any objections they may have as bandmates. Currently,
the mythology behind the music does not influence the stage design or our videos. It
only has influence on the cover art for our releases. In the future, when we start looking
into broadening our live presence on stage, we may start looking into incorporating our
themes with our live performances. The same idea goes with our videos. Currently, we
do not have any music videos, but soon we will start working on developing music
videos. That is in the plan for the future. How far in the future? That is not yet
determined.
6. How did Symphony of Destiny form, and when did you realize you wanted
to focus on mythology-driven symphonic metal?
Symphony of Destiny was formed in January of 2025. It started out about a
year before that as a project that I was working on with music that I was composing that
I wanted to use for serious purposes down the road. At the time, it was my bassist and me;
she was teaching me the basics on how to use Studio One on a PC with an audio
interface. I was interested in buying my own audio interface with a good recording
microphone to record my guitar speaker tone, which ended up being a Shure SM57. For
the next year, I was tinkering with recording and learning how to use Studio One for
putting songs together. After a while, I had the riffs and the drum tracks established for
the EP before the band was officially founded. The early versions of the songs for the
EP were written by the Summer of 2024. During the early Summer of 2024, Anne was also recruited as our singer since I was looking for a classically trained
singer. She found out about us through a mutual friend, to whom I mentioned what kind of
singer I was looking for. This mutual friend just happened to know exactly who I needed
for the project that eventually would officially become a band. Moving forward to
December of 2024, our bassist ended up moving out of state, leaving us without a bass
player. From that point on, I programmed bass tracks so we would not need to worry
about looking for a bassist for a while. When our drummer, Patrick, was brought into the
band, this was also through a mutual friend. I was at a show with this mutual friend, and
he messaged Patrick at that moment, letting him know that I was looking for a drummer
for a symphonic metal band. As I recall, he was immediately interested. We were put
into contact, and he was brought into the band after his audition, which was very short
since he clearly was an excellent drummer. Lastly, Tom appeared out of the blue. I had
an account on Bandmix that stated that I was looking for musicians for my symphonic
metal band, with the demo for Chariot of Ra on my page, and after developing interest,
Tom contacted me asking if we needed a keyboardist. By coincidence, we did indeed
need a keyboardist. By the time Tom auditioned in mid-February, it was Anne, Tom,
Patrick, and I. Creating a 4-piece band, that was technically enough to start playing live
shows. Once that idea was established, that is when I really started to move things
along. During that month, February of 2025, is when Symphony of Destiny was
established.
The mythology-driven symphonic metal portion of the band was inspired by some other
bands I enjoy listening to such as Amon Amarth and Sabaton. I thought to myself how I
really enjoy mythology from different countries, and how well mythology fits in with
metal. With that in mind, I decided I wanted to create a mythology-driven symphonic
metal band. The symphonic metal portion of the band was decided from me having a
music degree, and I really enjoyed listening to orchestras, and how much depth the
music from a full orchestra had. That combined with my love for bands such as
Nightwish, Epica, Delain, Eleine, Within Temptation, and many other great symphonic
metal bands, I wanted to take that path, since it seemed to make such a strong
statement. I wanted to write music that makes a strong statement.
7. How has your live performance style evolved since your debut, especially
with theatrical elements?
Our live performance style from our first show to our latest show, the concept
has not changed too much. From the crowd's perspective, our performance looks the
same, but the technology methods we have used have made gradual improvements
over the past year. During 2025, we used a tablet to play mp3 files of our backing tracks
to send to the sound guy. Now, in 2026, we have upgraded to a laptop, allowing me to
use my DAW to control all of the individual audio stems to make sure we get the best
mix possible for each show, and make slight improvements as needed over time. I have
also included a compressor into our live sound rig for our vocalist, Anne, since her
operatic singing style tends to overpower the mic by accident during certain moments.
Using a compressor helps tame down the occasional volume spikes to keep her mix
sounding a little more consistent. Later in 2025, I started including a high-velocity floor
fan for the cheesy effect of my hair flowing in the wind, but also to keep me cool, since I
heat up very easily, especially on stage. Our keyboardist, over time, bought a keytar to
use for certain songs to add to the effect by making him mobile. During songs like “Exile of
Horus,” we have a section where we play harmonies. That harmony moment is captured
in many of the consistent pictures you see from our live performances.
8. What has been the most memorable show or moment in the band’s journey
so far?
Our most memorable show by far was our latest show, as of the time of this
writing. This show is when we opened for Daedric and The Birthday Massacre at The
Canal Club in Richmond, Virginia. At this show, we played in front of the biggest crowd
we have ever played for, and the crowd took us so well that we truly felt like the center
of attention during the time we were on stage. We only had time to play 4 out of our 5
planned songs because we ended up starting late (we were ready to play at the
designated time, but were asked to wait a little longer). But… after I notified the crowd
that our time on stage was up, the crowd wanted one more song anyway, even when
we were the opening band. For obvious reasons, I ended the set rather than playing
one more song. From the time we walked off stage to the end of the show, we had
constant compliments and occasional requests to take pictures with us. Perhaps the
biggest flex for us that night is that someone actually attended this show just to see us; this
person was not familiar with the other two bands, who were headlining. This person was
already a fan following us on social media. We also had another audience member
reach out to us ahead of time, asking about us, since he had not heard of us before. He
immediately became a fan after he heard our set and wanted a picture with us after the
end of the show. This worked out great because, naturally, I like to stay till the end of
every show I attend, either as an audience member or a performer. What hit the hardest
for this show is that we were on the bill for a lineup that had strong genre alignment.
This was the main reason why the crowd took us so well. Normally, we are playing
alongside hardcore and metalcore bands in Richmond. We are perhaps the only
symphonic metal band in Richmond holding down the fort, with the exception of Invictis,
who is a symphonic/power metal hybrid.
9. How do you maintain cohesion between the musical complexity and the
narrative themes?
My method for accomplishing this is constructing the songs one step at a time,
then adapting as I go. Much like how I described the songwriting process in a previous
response, I write the instrumental portion of the music first, then I do some research to
find what theme fits the sound of the music created so far. Once I find a theme that I
want the song to merge with, the crafting of the lyrics is important. Once our
singer finishes her lyrics, I look them over and help arrange the wording and suggest
some minor changes that will be made with her approval. The reason for this is that
the theme may align with the instrumentation, but sometimes the story alone is not
100% of the energy; it is the delivery of the story that matters too. It is more of how the
story is perceived rather than just hearing what is going on in the story within the song.
The main goal when I try to maintain cohesion between the musical complexity and the
narrative themes is to make sure both elements hit just as hard as one another.
10. Where do you hope to take the band in 2026 and beyond, both musically
and geographically?
Moving forward in the year 2026, I plan to move the band forward musically
by adding dedicated symphonic moments in the middle of the song rather than just at
the beginning during certain parts. Right now, we don’t have any songs that have a
symphonic intermission. Down the road, in my compositions, I plan to change that.
Another aspect that I plan to add is guitar solos that continue to push my boundaries as
a shredder. I aspire to keep improving my shredding ability, since I am a huge fan of all
the great shredders such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Stump, Gus G, Vinnie Moore, Paul
Gilbert, Jeff Loomis, and many others. I love to use techniques that these guitarists use,
because they are fun to play and sound pretty sick. As the songs move forward beyond
the Heroes of Egypt EP, I plan to continue making the guitar solos sound more complex.
Geographically, I plan on expanding the reach of where we play shows. We mainly play
within the Richmond area, and once in a while, we drive out of town for 1 or 2 hours to
play at a show. I would eventually like to play shows in different states, including the
possibility of playing small East Coast tours. Of course, tours are a big commitment, so
we would need to get strategic with availability and scheduling, since this would be a
new thing we will tackle. I currently have no plans for an East Coast tour in 2026. My
main goal in 2026 is to get into bigger events such as festivals, looking out for touring
bands to open for, and possibly arrange 1 or 2 headliner shows that we would advertise
heavily, just like all of our other shows, but with the approach of highlighting something
unique we would be doing for that show. Perhaps a sponsor will be involved with the
show, we will be giving away some items through a name drawing, or we will have new
merch that is available for a limited time, ideas like that. As far as the internet side of
moving us forward geographically, I will continue to advertise our content in different
countries so we can expand our reach internationally, reaching potential fans in the right
places who would want to follow us. This is important because in our local area,
hardcore and metalcore reign supreme, and symphonic metal is a unicorn in Richmond, VA.
In order for us to thrive, we need to look for fans in other places. I still think it would be
valuable to advertise us locally, because after opening for Daeric and The Birthday
Massacre, it was obvious that there are people within driving distance who would gladly
become fans; we just need to find these people.
11. Which bands, artists, or composers inspire your symphonic metal
approach?
The sources of inspiration I draw from for my symphonic metal approach for
Symphony of Destiny are a bit all over the place. The composers that I draw
inspiration from are composers such as Beethoven, Paganini, and Heitor Villa-Lobos. A
fun fact about my influence from Heitor Villa-Lobos is the use of a spotlight section for
the symphonic intro in Chariot of Ra. I learned about Villa-Lobos through my academic
journey of getting my music degree when I was studying classical guitar. Villa-Lobos
was a classical guitar composer, but he was also a cellist. The cello aspect translated to
some of his classical guitar compositions by creating spotlight sections in the bass line, giving the bass the main melody, where the thumb would strike the strings on the
classical guitar. Most of the symphonic intro in Chariot of Ra was inspired by either
Beethoven or my love for eastern music and flamenco music through the use of the
Phrygian scale or the Phrygian Dominant scale, creating an exotic sound to the music.
Getting into the music theory aspect of this intro, I wanted to experiment with the string
section during a certain part by playing harmonies by 6 th intervals rather than the
common 3rd intervals we normally hear in many forms of music. I find harmonies of 6 th
intervals to be underrated. Through the use of strings and choir in most of our
symphonic intros mainly comes from my inspiration behind cinematic film scores. I find
that just with strings and choir alone can make a strong statement without any help from
other instruments. I do not have any particular film scores to note out that I can identify
as inspiration for me, but I am sure that Hans Zimmer wrote about half of them, since
you hear his music just about everywhere. Bands that I draw inspiration from are either
melodic death metal bands, such as Arch Enemy, In Flames, or Trivium. I also have
inspiration from other fellow symphonic metal bands such as Eleine, Nightwish, Xandria,
and Seven Spires. Inspiration from Eleine was for the heavy guitar and drums aspect, while retaining the refined, clean woman vocals, but in this case, operatic. The operatic
aspect of the songwriting came from Nightwish and Xandria during Xandria’s 2014
album Sacrificium, when they had one of their older singers who sang operatically. My
main inspirations for the symphonic elements are from Nightwish and Seven Spires.
Toumas Holopainen from Nightwish and Adrienne Cowan from Seven Spires are both
gifted and talented composers who have a lot to offer when learning from their style and
construction of music compositions. Eventually, as Symphony of Destiny’s songwriting
evolves, I plan to write some compositions that sound grand on the scale of Ghost Love
Score by Nightwish, or This God Is Dead by Seven Spires. Both songs by each band
are symphonic metal masterpieces that capture the true meaning of symphonic metal,
in my opinion. The symphonic aspect is far more prominent on average throughout the
song; there are more symphonic intermissions, and the mood changes throughout the
song. Much like what we would experience as we listen to a symphony from Beethoven
or another great composer.
12. Do you have any dream collaborations — musical or theatrical — in mind?
I do have some collaborations I would love to set up someday. A collaboration
with our friends from Edolus for one of their Christmas song covers that they do by
tradition every year would be a lot of fun! I would also love to do a collaboration with
fellow symphonic metal band Valkyrie’s Fire. I would love to see what kind of
masterpiece we can create together with our combined strengths. Aside from bands, I
would love to see one of our songs make it into a video game one day. Anne and I are
both gamers, and we love music that comes from video games and movies alike. An
ambitious goal for a collaboration one day down the road is to pull a Metallica and play
a concert with the Richmond Symphony. The difference is, we already have symphonic
elements composed; they would just need to arrange them. You also see collaborations like
this happen with Epica and Dimmu Borgir, when they play concerts with an orchestra
behind them. I think that would be an absolute bucket list item!
13. Have fans ever engaged with your mythology in creative ways that
surprised you?
The short answer is no. During shows and on social media, we have not seen
any fans engage with our mythology in creative ways yet. That does not mean it will not
happen in the future, though. Only time will tell if any fans decide to bring any interesting
props of their own that we were not expecting before the start of the show. I think the
most interesting thing we had fans do that was related to the symphonic metal
atmosphere in general was have them do a circle pit with their pinkies out. This was an
idea that Anne came up with since we were the “fancy” band on the bill that night.
14. Any behind-the-scenes stories from rehearsals or shows that fans would
find interesting?
We do have a handful of interesting stories during rehearsal that fans may find
interesting or even funny. Some of these moments include us experimenting and
expanding on our live sound rig. One night, during band practice, we were
experimenting with using a laptop for the backing tracks, rather than me using my tablet,
and by accident, my keyboardist had a gradual accelerando from the start of the song to
the end of the song. Meaning, the song gradually got faster as we played. It wasn’t until
after 1 minute of playing that we all looked at each other, wondering if we were going
insane, since the song was starting to feel faster. By the time we were at the end of the
song, the song was clearly faster, because it sounded like Dragonforce doing a cover of
Come Cover Me by Nightwish. I am pretty sure the tempo increased by a good 40+
bpm. Needless to say, we made sure that never happened again. Another time during a
live show, I selected the wrong backing track for our cover of Rainbow In The Dark by
Dio, and the tempo was about 20 bpm slower. It did not feel right at all; it felt like we
were playing a doom metal variant of the song. I immediately stopped the song and
started the correct backing track file after apologizing to the audience. It was great, though; everyone had a good laugh.
15. Which part of “Rampage (Bastet)” are you most proud of, and why?
There are two parts I am most proud of with “Rampage (Bastet)”, one of which
is the symphonic addition to the intro. Before this addition, the intro sounded a little
underwhelming, added the dark and doomy-sounding strings and choir to this intro
really created an identity for this song. The guitar solo is the other part I am most proud
of with this song. The guitar solo is actually a change I made to the song shortly before
submitting it for scheduled release. I had a guitar solo that was already a part of the
song previously, but this was a temporary placeholder; I needed something better that
did the song justice. This new solo I created for the song was game-changing. It had a
process to it that gave a clear progression as it was executed. The old solo was just a
bunch of hammer-ons; this new official solo has arpeggios, scale fragments, and I even
tap into using the Whole-Tone scale as a transition from one section to another section
in the solo, which is something I have been dying to use in the original music! From time
to time, I want to use scales and chords that are outside of the norm, that are from the
more advanced side of music theory. This is me starting to do that.
16. How do you approach writing music that’s both technically intricate and
emotionally powerful?
The first thing to keep in mind when achieving this goal, to write music that is
technically intricate and emotionally powerful, is to recognize that psychology plays a
major role in music. It all boils down to the music theory behind the writing. The rhythm
that is used, the chords, scales, the aggression in the sound, the strategic use of
silence, etc. Music is all about “tension and release” as well as “call and response.”
Tension and release sometimes do the same thing as call and response. It is all about
the phrasing of the sections throughout the song. Let’s take the vocal melody in a verse, for example. The vocal melody as well as the words that correspond with each other
throughout the phrase in the first and second half. The first half is often described as
asking a question; it is common for it to end on a note that goes upward in pitch from
the previous note. The second half of the phrase is called the “answer,” which often ends the phrase in a note that moves downward in pitch from the previous note.
Much like how we talk in day-to-day life. Tension and release are a little more on the
psychology side of song construction. With tension and release, it relates to chord
progressions in a phrase. There are certain chord qualities and chord degrees within the
scale that is being used that cause tension to our ear, like a dominant chord that is based on the 5 th note in the scale, or a diminished chord that is based on the 7 th note in the scale
(if we are talking about the major scale). These would be examples of chords that end
on the first half of the phrase. On the second half of the phrase, it ends sounding
conclusive by ending on the chord based on the root note in the scale. The behavior is
similar to call and response, but with a psychological philosophy.
17. What advice would you give to up-and-coming bands trying to fuse
symphonic elements with heavy metal?
A strong recommendation I have to up-and-coming bands that are trying to
fuse symphonic elements with heavy metal is 1. Pick some classical composers you like
to listen to, then sit down and listen to their music uninterrupted from time-to-time.
Listen to what they are doing with each phrase, what makes their songwriting interesting
compared to other music you have heard? 2. Listen to other symphonic metal bands.
Become familiar with at least the famous symphonic metal bands such as Nightwish,
Epica, Delain, Xandria, Eluveitie, Within Temptation, etc. Approach listening to these
bands with the same mindset. What is each of these bands doing in their songwriting that makes them interesting from one another? What qualities make them stand out and shine?
3. Lastly, if you are thinking about blending symphonic metal with another genre like I
do, listen to bands that are within the genre you want to blend with symphonic metal. In
high school and college, I listened to and played a lot of thrash metal. Testament,
Exodus, Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, Onslaught, Warbringer, Gamma Bomb, Havok, and
many others were some of my favorites. Approach these bands with the same thorough
process. Then, the most important part is to ask yourself: “How can I make blending
these genres work?” What I did was play what is most natural for me first. Some nice,
thrashy or groovy sounding metal riffs, then write a solo with the rhythm section
composition following after, so it can complement the guitar solo. Next, write the
symphonic elements. If the guitar, bass, and drums are busy sounding, you may want to
skip adding any symphonic elements in that particular riff, or just add a subtle layer of
static chords that the choir sings in the background to thicken the sound of that riff. If the
song just happens to have a breakdown of some sort, that is a great opportunity to add
a thick layer of symphonic elements, as long as the circumstances permit filling that
space with heavy symphonic involvement. That is another trick behind writing
symphonic metal songs. “How much space in the moment of this riff is available?” If the
vocals have the spotlight during a riff, go light on the symphonic elements, or do not add
any.
18. How do you balance building a narrative universe with the pressure to
release music consistently?
The trick to doing such a thing is writing and recording a bunch of music
ahead of time before even starting the campaign. That is what I did before my full band
lineup was even complete. I wrote the music; all they needed to do was learn it, then we
were ready to move forward. When the music is at least already written, and at least a
demo is already created, obviously, the narrative universe is already established. The
only battle you are fighting at that point is releasing the music within the current series
of campaigns consistently. In other words, if you give yourself the fuel ahead of time
(the music, already created and finished), all you need to do after that is drive. After we
release our single, “Rampage (Bastet),” we will have one more single, then finally, our
EP: Heroes of Egypt. Through a steady routine of preparing each song one at a time
with careful planning to make sure the timing lines up, releasing music consistently can
run smoothly. Once you establish your plan far in advance (bonus if you have backup
plans if some things don’t work out), you already see the end result. The question is not
a matter of ‘if’ it will go smoothly; the real question is, “Now that we know this will go
smoothly, how can we take it further?”
19. Looking back, what has been the defining moment that put Symphony of
Destiny on the map?
When I think of “defining moment” that put Symphony of Destiny on the map, I
think of a couple of different possibilities that qualify for that question. The first defining
moment that put Symphony of Destiny on the map was when we played our first show
ever, which was at The Canal Club with other local bands. With strong social media
promotion, we got a crowd of 68 people. That put Symphony of Destiny on the map for
the local Richmond metal music scene. Another possible answer to this question that
put Symphony of Destiny on the map is when we started working with Metal
Devastation PR, when we started pushing Exile of Horus. When we pushed Exile of
Horus, we were introduced to a lot of great people who did a lot of favors for us.
Between magazines, radio stations, playlisters, journalists, etc. Our name was put in
front of the eyes of a lot of people. We were getting our song played on radio stations
around the world, and we landed a feature in Decibel Magazine. I can confidently say
that was the defining moment, or series of “moments” that put Symphony of Destiny on
the map.
20. Is there anything else you’d like to share with Breathing The Core readers
about your mythology, upcoming EP, or your vision for the band?
In future music from us, listeners and fans can expect to see the rest of our EP
and eventual LP to be about more Egyptian characters and/or events. The LP we will be
working on after the release of our EP will be an extension of our EP, building off the
saga that was already created. When our first LP is complete, we will move on to
mythology from another culture for the next saga. But since that is so far out in the
future, we will keep that as a surprise for now. For our EP coming out soon this
Summer, listeners and fans can expect the songs to be the opening instrumental
symphonic metal track (introducing the saga), a heroic track (introducing a main
character that people can root for), an enigmatic track about riddles and grim outcomes
when answered incorrectly, and a vicious track about pure aggression (about the
goddess that destroyed the main villain in Egyptian mythology). The songs in the EP will
play in this order: 1. Chariot of Ra, 2. Exile of Horus, 3. The Riddle, 4. Rampage
(Bastet). This upcoming EP is a development that all of us in Symphony of Destiny are
proud of, and we are excited for this EP to be released to the world!
