LOST SYMPHONY Reveals âTake Another Pieceâ Single Featuring Marty Friedman, Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick and Richard ShawÂ
âTake Another Pieceâ Video Available Today via Loudwire
Third Album, Chapter III, Slated for Release on July 9
Classically infused metal ensemble LOST SYMPHONY has revealed the first single from the forthcoming Chapter III release, âTake Another Piece,â featuring a quadruple guitar attack from guests Marty Friedman, Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick and Richard Shaw.
âWhen I first heard LOST SYMPHONY, I wasnât sure what to expect,â Skolnick says. âI knew thereâd be strong technical skills but was pleasantly surprised to hear how much else was going on: Melodic development, dynamics, compositional creativity and other elements not always present in music with this high a level of chops. While there is plenty of fodder for fans of âshred,â there is also no shortage of moments for listeners of true classical, soundtracks and other symphonic music as well. The music may sound serious, but the players have a serious sense of humor, which adds to the overall quality. It is humbling to share âguest guitarâ duties with Marty and Nuno, two guitarists I consider to be champions among our generation of players, and an overall honor to be brought in to participate.â
Friedman adds, âThe folks in the LOST SYMPHONY project have a deep love for guitar. Let me rephrase that, they are dangerously obsessed with it! Whenever I am invited to participate in their music, it is exciting to be around their tireless enthusiasm, and cool things always seem to happen because of it. The newest song, âTake Another Piece,â may be my favorite of all the LS songs I`ve been a part of. There are some really unorthodox things going on.â
The collective founded by multi-instrumentalist and producer Benny Goodman and comprising his brother Brian (compositions, arrangement), Cory Paza (bass, guitar), Kelly Kereliuk (guitar), Paul Lourenco (drums), and Siobhán Cronin (violin, viola, electric violin) has once again welcomed a revolving cast of virtuosos to join them for Chapter III. This installment includes Angel Vivaldi, David Ellefson, Jimi Bell, Matt LaPierre, Joey Concepcion, Oli Herbert, Matt LaPierre and Ryan Formato, in addition to Friedman, Bettencourt, Skolnick and Shaw. Chapter III is scheduled for release on July 9. Pre-orders are available now at https://lnk.to/LS_Chapter3.

LOST SYMPHONY was set in motion when Benny Goodman invited guitarists Kelly Kereliuk and Conrad Simon to add another dimension to the classical demo he had composed. An early recording of âLeave Well Enough Alone,â which appeared on Chapter II, made its way to All That Remains co-founder and guitar hero Oli Herbert, who quickly jumped aboard as a chief collaborator.
