The Psycho Symphony Style

"Many had tried to define our style, we heard a lot of interesting characterizations, some of them were close to our ideas and others were really far from our conceptions. But it has to be known that what we do, comes instinctively and it''''s not a pre-defined style that we want to follow. We know what (are all those things that) we don''''t want to hear in our music, and that''''s how a vast area of possibilities appeared in front of us. Some of the characterizations we heard from the press and fans were so suitable to our thoughts, that we like to mention them. There was somebody who said that our music is like a strange voyage in bizarre lapped in a delirious aura, other said that it can''''t be compared with anything, and the other who said that it is like a movie soundtrack. With all of these, we think that our music is hard to be defined exactly, but if somebody asked us about how we can describe our style, we would say that it is placed somewhere between the progressive music of the ''''70 (King Crimson, ELP, Gentle Giant etc) and the techno-thrash & progressive metal of the ''''80-''''90 (Mekong Delta, Voivod, Sieges Even, Psychotic Waltz etc)".
