Spotlight: Michael Romeo Recording
The second song “METAMORPHOSIS” from new Michael Romeo album War Of The Worlds pt. 2 is out now. This song is one of my favorites from the new album. It’s one of the more prog-style songs on the record. There are some elements of Rush mixed with some 70’s progressive rock all tied together with modern-day grooves played extra heavy like me and Mike like it! I got to pull out some of my Neil Peart influence on the intro fills of this song. Neil has always been a hero of mine and always will be.
