Venus Syndrome began life as a Dream Theater cover band, and while there is no doubt that drummer Thibaud Pontet (Eternal Flight), guitarist Ayman Mokdad (Alien Encounters), keyboardist Rodolfo Lima Sproesser (Goiana, Tahra, Heretic, Floyd Rose cover Pink Floyd), bassist Florian Guidat and vocalist Emmanuelson (Ellipsis, Rising Steel, Hydroflame) are talented enough to play Dream Theater covers, the band has moved away from this early influence to a more spacey style of dark melodic metal that feels all their own.
