This band with risk spelling name, Symbyosis is a progressive death metal band from French. They did version of The Loneliness of The Long Distance Runner from Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time album. The version cut off the intro and jump straight into the verse. The vocal is duet between growl and clean singing. Instrumentation is heavier in death metal style. The solos and outro were re-arranged into better composition compared to originally done by Iron Maiden.

Good reinterpretation of this rarely covered track of The Loneliness of The Long Distance Runner.
