This process took a year and a half and 517 different singer auditions to finally find vocalist Randy Reeman. Randy actually is a keyboard player extraordinaire too but when he sang every one agreed he must be the singer. A factor was also the re-entry of original keyboardist Robert Vasicek a amazing player himself.

Rick Plester quickly took Randy into the studio to re-record Ric Plamondon’s vocal parts.

Soon enough the record was again ready for production and with a whole new record already in a writing stage the band wasted no time getting it done. After completing the 3rd record and a new one almost done they decided to wait and release the records as one double record but after completing the 4th the decision was a little more clear and so the 3rd and 4th will be release at the same time but as separate records as the vibe was just a little to different to make it one record.

After all the delays and the search of a record company and with the changing music industry Black Symphony has decided to release the record on Plester’s own label, FTM International.

The band did receive several offers but a changing industry made it more appetizing to put it out themselves as many other established artists also do today and many more will in the future.

Joining Rick on this record is Rev Jones (x MSG, Fuel, and Paul Gilbert) on bass, Pete Holmes on drums (x, Ted Nugent, MSG, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ian Gillian, and Black N Blue), Randy Reeman Lead vocals/keys, and Robert Vasicek on Keyboards.

This record is dedicated to Marshall Garrison a great friend who was shot in a senseless act of violence. 1962 -2002 RIP
