Sons of Apollo is an American progressive metal supergroup formed in 2017 and composed of former Talas and David Lee Roth and current Mr. Big and The Winery Dogs bassist Billy Sheehan, Jeff Scott Soto, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and former Dream Theater members Mike Portnoy & Derek Sherinian. Portnoy, Sheehan and Sherinian had already worked together at a short-lived, live instrumental project with Tony MacAlpine. Sherinian was asking Portnoy to be a drummer in a band full-time. Portnoy agreed when he had time for it.
Their debut album, Psychotic Symphony, was produced by Portnoy and Sherinian (as "The Del Fuvio Brothers") and was released on October 20, 2017 via Inside Out Music/Sony Music.
