When I first approached the stage to meet the
band; Vince and Kevin were chilling by the amps
waiting for the show to start. Blair and Fernando were on the oth-
er side of the stage having a quiet conversation with each other…
just a bunch of guys hanging out with their buds, at a club, relaxed
and happy. A few seconds into the conversation they let me know
that they were playing all original songs tonight, so my interest
was piqued. They told me that thanks to a fellow metal rocker
made good, Tim McMurtrie, (guitar player for M.O.D.) , and
producer for his own label, Tripsquad Records, they were going
to be recording in the studio by end of February. Because these
guys are as refined as they are talented-they invited me to come
to the studio while they were there. OK CAN YOU IMAGINE
MY EXCITEMENT, I GET TO GO TO A STUDIO AND HEAR
A BAND LAYING TRACKS, TALK TO THE PRODUCER AND
INTERVIWE EVERYONE!!!! What fucking luck for this humble
local music reviewer. Yeah, I took them up on that-more on that
later, for now, to the show!
They have obvious influences from bands like Iron Maiden and
Judas Priest but all of their songs are written by the Symetria
members. They have more than lyrics and chords…they have a
vision on their band facebook page they have this written “The
battle is within all of us, good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, when you
learn control, the battle ends, you have achieved a perfect balance,
in Symetria” Sounds like a good place to chill!
The songs were heavy and tight; you can see the guys are com-
fortable with each other as they glance for ques on tempos which
result in flawless execution. Vince’s vocals were powerful and
direct and Kevin’s guitar playing has a voice of it’s own. I can’t
wait to continue to share their journey with you. My interview
session at the studio in New Jersey will be available to view on
You Tube -BUT you’re gonna have to watch Steel Notes Maga-
zine’s Facebook Page if you want to know when it’s released. More
excitement coming in next months’ issue!!!
