For those unaware, MAD SYMPHONY is the collaboration of accomplished and professional Vancouver-based musicians who collectively have many years of experience writing, recording, and touring internationally with various acts.

Formed from the ashes of Seattle grunge-metal band Soulbender (which also featured Michael Wilton of Queensryche fame on guitar), lifelong friends and collaborators Dave Groves (guitar) and Wes Hallam (drums) joined up with multi-instrumentalist/producer/engineer Ted Tosoff (Blue Voodoo) in 2018 to begin writing for a new project (which turned into them releasing their first self-titled, 5-track EP, Mad Symphony).

Ted knew of powerhouse vocalist Kevin Wright (The Wilds, TNT (Bon Scott Tribute), whose raunchy and melodic vocal stylings a-la Bon Scott and Robert Plant, fit the new songs perfectly; Kevin was quickly recruited into the fold.

To round out the lineup, the formative members didn�t have to look far. Dave and Wes had both played with keyboardist Mike Russell (Sweeney Todd) and bassist Amrit Prasad (Assault), but not always in the same bands or at the same time.

With the addition of Mike on keys and Amrit on bass Mad Symphony immediately began recording their aforementioned debut EP and rehearsing tirelessly.

With the goal of creating memorable and powerful music that resonates with the listener both in style and substance, Mad Symphony write songs with a message of hope and resiliency that harkens back to the glory days of rock and roll.

And now they are back with their sophomore EP, the 5-track Blood 2 Dust where screaming guitars, driving drums, and huge vocals combine with melodic keyboard orchestrations and thundering bass to make the sonically dense and raucous sound that is � Mad Symphony!

1. Blood 2 Dust
2. I Can�t Remember Your Name
3. Reality Check
4. Judgement Day
5. Truth In The Shadows

This quite exceptional new EP opens on the hard rocking Blood 2 Dust and then bleeds seamlessly into the funky, synth-strewn, mid-tempo post relationship ballad rock of I Can�t Remember Your Name, the free-flowing AOR of Reality Check, the EP rounding out on the drum-led, fist-clenched Judgement Day, coming to a close on the synth and guitar-laden, melodical masterpiece Truth In The Shadows.
