    Where does SX go from here?

    I think they should continue in their more raw, dark and heavy direction; maybe explore a bit more of the sound feutured on The Serpent's Kiss, which is a strong tune imo. But they should not loose the classical Symphony X sound either, and keep the power metal and the classical influences. I...

    Recc me some bands?

    A lot of these bands i've at least heard once before, but it doesn't matter because there's bands among them that you've renewed my interest in so to speak... Thanks to you all. I appreciate it.

    Recc me some bands?

    Thanks. They may have elements of death vocals, but it should not be the driving vocal style like in traditional death metal or brutal thrash. Im familiar with the prog bands you mentioned, but not the thrash bands 'sept Testament and Coroner. Kreator, Sodom and Destruction...hmm. Maybe...

    Recc me some bands?

    Thanks Noble Savage! I did in fact notice that thread but was too egocentric to care, coupled with the fact that i don't like many of the bands that the thread-starter liked.

    Fantasy Lyrics

    I think fantasy/fiction lyrics are a great medium to communicate things to the listener, and i actually dont see them as less real or important than normal lyrics. It's just a different medium.

    Favorite concept albums

    I haven't really read a lot of the lyrics, but from what i've gathered the general concept seems to be about a man that has fallen, lost contact with reality and is sick of life. During the course of the story he gains back his will to live and fights all the darkness, and above all he conquers...

    1) What is your name? Simon 2) Where do you live? Finland, in a small town along the coast that no one knows about. 3) Why are you on this forum? What brought you here, etc. I don't know really. I like Symphony X, so i thought it'd be fun to see who else likes them. I browse a...

    Favourite song from "Paradise Lost"

    Count me in, i don't like it that much either.

    Favourite song from "Paradise Lost"

    I voted Revelation, that and Serpent's Kiss are the strongest two on here imo. Paradise Lost is the weakest track i think. Just rehash of older stuff with a nice refrain. The solo is pretty forgettable too.

    Bonus DVD

    OK, now i've been "subjected" to this DVD aswell. Well that was frankly pretty awful and not worth owning really, watching videos of them at youtube is better. But hey, at least i have an official DVD of them now!

    Symphony X Gamers Unite!

    My favorite games are Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Deus Ex, Thief, Diablo II, Worms, Enemy Territory etc. so it's many kind of games. Mostly rpg though. I don't play games anymore that much though because my computer is kind of broken and has been for months.
