  • Help fund Metamorphestra's debut album, THE SHIP OF THESEUS, by pledging to the Kickstarter: theshipofthese.us
    In April, I was fortunate enough to be invited to Capitol Records in Hollywood to record with The Lyra Champber Orchestra (www.lyrachamber...), an extremely talented ensemble of musicians based in Los Angeles. I originally intended on recording Chop Suey with Metamorphestra for our first official album, THE SHIP OF THESEUS. The opportunity seemed ideal to take advantage of a world-renowned recording studio with world-class players, though, so I decided to record it then instead of waiting for the album.
    Want to hear more? Check out the orchestral cover of Tool's Schism ( • Tool -- Schism (Orches... ), Muse's Hysteria ( • Muse -- Hysteria (Orch... ), and all of the others on my profile. THE SHIP OF THESEUS will include another System of a Down cover (Toxicity), along with arrangements of The Mars Volta, Deftones, Muse, Radiohead, Weezer, Florence + The Machine, Lady Gaga, and more. Please help us record by pledging and spreading the word! theshipofthese.us

      Metal is the closest thing to classical/orchestral music we have today (besides actual orchestral music). Out of all the other modern contemporary music, in rock and metal a lot of effort is put in instrumentation, structure and progression.

    I think that Chop Suey!, even though it's an awesome song, is very overused, and you could've played anothet SOAD song, like Soldier Side, or ATWA, who I think would be great in an orchestra.
