Russell Allen

Battle + 1 Russell Allen

Japanese pressing scheduled to include 1 bonus track. Since 1995 Russell Allen has been the singer of the American progressive metal band Symphony X, which has released six studio albums and one live record so far. Highly rated current Masterplan vocalist Jorn Lande has a vocal capability that is world class: distinctive, rich and spans a large range. As such the man is in high demand, guesting on albums by such bands as Millenium, Mundanus Imperium, Ark, the Snakes and many others. He is also a well known solo artist with three albums released since his debut in 1999. With songs written by Last Tribe and Starbreaker guitar sensation Magnus Karlsson and with the production of the Scandinavian studio wizard Anders 'Theo' Theander (Pain of Salvation, Last Tribe, Urban Tale) the two monster vocalists for the first time unite their talents in a fabulous new album entitled The Battle. Cover artwork was specifically designed for this project by none other than Rodney Matthews, the legendary painter who created Magnum's 'On A Storyteller's Night', Diamond Head's 'Borrowed Time', Asia's 'Aqua' and 'Arena', Praying Mantis' 'Time Tells No Lies' and many others. Avalon. 2005.
