 Eklectique: An Interview with Switchblade Symphony
Right before their Salt Lake City concert on December 13, 1997, KRCL DJ's Alan Moss and Avant Bone (Alan Chow), along with me, sat down with Tina Root and Susan Wallace of Switchblade Symphony for a very impromptu interview.
Everything that we put out, regardless of how it sounds, it’s going to be 100% of our soul in it.
It’s like taking a symphony or the different parts of a symphony, the intricacy of it and cutting it up with a blade, then putting in other parts and different types of music -- whether it’s somebody scratching or me singing strange or whatever.

They released their first album in 1995 on the Cleopatra Records label.
Switchblade Symphony's music combined orchestral sounds with heavy synth sequences and ethereal vocals to create a highly original darkwave sound resembling The Flower Duet sung over a twisted union of classical music and gothic rock.

Serpentine Gallery, the full-length debut of well-known/now-defunct trio Switchblade Symphony [noteworthy vocalist Tina Root, Susan Wallace on vocals/synths/programming, Robin Jacobs on guitars, drum programming] on Cleopatra Records, isn't as lethargic or sickeningly pretentious as most other goth I've heard.
It's a safe choice if you're just getting into this kind of music, or know someone who is. Heck, give it to your 13-year-old Limp-Bizkit-fan cousin who's looking to broaden his/her horizons.
All in all, it's a good album, and it's unfortunate that the Symphony's work went downhill from here.
