Russell Allen's Atomic Soul marks the first solo CD release from the lead singer of Symphony X, a man that many consider to be one of the finest vocalists in all of hard rock. In true "solo CD" fashion, Atomic Soul is a complete departure from Symphony X's bombastic progressive-power metal style. Instead, Russell Allen strips away all of the excess and offers up just the bare bones. Russell Allen's Atomic Soul is a gutsy, gritty, whiskey-soaked return to the blues-based soul of hard rock. On this release Russell pays homage to the sound that inspired him in his youth. Reminiscent of bands like Free, Bad Company, Mountain, and Deep Purple, Atomic Soul showcases Russell's incredible vocal force in its purest form. Russell Allen's Atomic Soul also features a guest appearance from Russell's Symphony X bandmate, Michael Romeo. This release will have a direct to appeal the quickly growing Symphony X fanbase.
