It all began in the year of our lord, 2006, when Symphonity was born in Brno, renaming the Nemesis moniker and going on to release acclaimed debut Voice from the Silence (2008). Then silence followed. Eight long years of it. Until finally. King of Persia (2016) struck like thunder and lightning, taking the symphonic concept and developing it with heavy riffing, with a line-up that seemed tighter than ever. In 2019 came the first single heralding the Marco Polo centric full length; Crimson Silk, showcasing the power performances from new vocalists Antonio Abate (Perseus) and Mayo Petranin (ex- Signum Regis). It would take even further line-up changes and another three years, but Symphonity’s long awaited third full length is finally here; Marco Polo: The Metal Soundtrack. Clocking in at 42 minutes, we’re offered six actual songs – two of which released as singles in 2019 and 2020 respectively – as well as an intro, outro and an interlude. The first three tracks are great, exceeding all expectations. I’ve already gone into Crimson Silk when the single was released, though arguably it was better back then. For the album, Abate’s parts have been redone by Konstantin Naumenko (Sunrise), recruited in 2020.
