The last couple of months news keeps coming from Bob Katsionis’ camp, proving that he is one of the most active and busiest musicians in the world of metal nowadays. Firewind/Outloud keyboardist and guitarist has just released his new solo album (“Prognosis and Synopsis”), has launched a new application for smartphones and tablets (Icon Disk) and has established his own record label (Symmetric Records), apart from touring with Firewind, producing other bands’ albums at his Sound Symmetry Studio, shooting videos, etc. Despite his heavy schedule, Katsionis responded positively, when we asked him to answer the questions of “Myths of My Life”. So, Bob Katsionis takes a small break during his tour with Firewind in South America and shares with us his personal myths!
