RICK PLESTER - GUITAR, KEYBOARDS, VOCALS As founder and producer of the Black Symphony I strive to stretch all musical extremes live and in the studio. I love what I do and will continue to conquer new goals. I hope to create the most magic music can deliver . The band has had several different faces through the years in which I was fortunate to have extremely talented members but was never able to capture the vibe together as a group like this line up . I feel this line up is very special and that magic only happens to a handful of lucky bands. We will do our best to bring this magic to our friends in the purest form possible.
RIC PLAMONDON - VOCALS Ric Plamondon has been singing professionally since age 16. His first project menace, was a club standard and ruled in Los Angeles for 4 years. Following menace Ric was a founding member of Skitzotik, a project that allowed him to hone his singing skills even further. Skitzotik released 2 albums (Skitzotik/Prozac cinema) throughout the world. In 1999, Ric joined forces with Rick Plester and the Black Symphony. "I find a lot of emotion comes out of me with the material Rick writes," says Ric. " he and I worked very closely on this album to get the kind of emotions we wanted to come across." "I can't think of a better group of musicians to be involved with!"
