I have always thought that it was a crime that Jeff Scott Soto is not mentioned in the same breath as David Coverdale, Robert Plant, and all of the other greats.

Interview with Jeff Scott Soto of Sons of Apollo from 2020

If you were to spin this new album with no advance information, you might think that it's some long lost disc from the 1970s.

Sons of Apollo, for those of you who don’t know, are a new prog metal group featuring an all-star lineup.  

It is still pretty early in the year, but I'll be surprised if this release doesn't make my "best of 2020" list. The mix of sounds here includes metal, good solid hard rock and plenty of progressive rock.

Had I heard this album last year, it would have definitely made my best of 2017 list, and been pretty high on the list. This is an amazing album.

So many times discs like this are really uneven. Well, that’s not the case here.
