Mark Bravi, or as I still like to call him, Marco, is a true musical upstart and an integral piece of the musical mission known as Virtual Symmetry.

Hailing from Italy and vacationing in Switzerland, Mark gave me enough time and enough joy during our interview to make up for any emptiness in my life...perhaps ever. I don't know if I've ever met such a kind and easy going guy.

The new Virtual Symmetry record, eponymously titled, comes out in September and the band heads out on tour with the beloved Swedish band, Evergrey. I hope you'll buy the fabulous new record and see them on tour. They are simply smashing.

This is my interview with Virtual Symmetry and this is Rockstar Superhero.
