CD/DVD Releases: Symakya's ''Majestic 12: Open Files'' Out Now
Symakya is a French symphonic metal band that began in 2009 at the initiative of Matthew Morand (guitar / Elvaron, Akroma), Kevin Kazeki (vocals / Seyminhol) and Thomas Das Neves (drums / Heavenly). These three musicians have decided to invest heart and soul into this new project [Majestic 12: Open Files] which combines power, melody, energy and a faultless technique.
The concept theme [explores...] events in the extra-terrestrial [realm, and h]istory, supported by extensive literature searches. [Majestic 12 was a secret government project -- real or imagined -- seeking to confirm (hide? both?) the existence of extra-terrestial life on earth... -ed.*]
Symakya [benefits from the] services offered by Olivier Lapauze (Heavenly) to record a guitar solo. Much work is directed by Nicolas Soulat (Outcast) on orchestral sequences to achieve realism.
[The m]ixing is provided by Simon Oberender (Epica, Kamelot, Edguy, Avantasia) will reach the sublime music Symakya. Mastering is meanwhile left [to] Sascha Paeth (Angra, Kamelot, Epica, Rhapsody of Fire) [and] made at the Gate Studio (Wolfsburg, Germany). The cover is signed Rainer Kalwitz.
The result is impressive! The album Majestic 12: Open Files will be available in all retail outlets and available from the group via Paypal at www.symakya.net (9.90 euros) and paperless on all download platforms such iTunes, Amazon.mp3, FnacMusic ...
