    Iconoclast Shipping in USA!

    I'm leaving for a 3 weeks Asia trip on June 20 :'( It would be so great to have this album for the long long long flight, but it doesn't look like my local metal music shop will have it before the official date. I'm definitely buying this as soon as I return home though.

    Which North American show(s) will you be attending? [1 of 2]

    I was at the Seattle show last night, my first SymX concert and actually my first concert ever. Like a noob, I didn't bring earplugs, and didn't realise until after the show that I could have bought earplugs at the coat check booth. Damn, my ears are still ringing and I definitely think I have...

    Iconoclast: News/Info Thread

    I really like Prometheus, and I should now say with some certainty it will be the special edition for myself, whatever the price will be. IMO music CDs give very good value for the amount of time I spend listening to each one - tens, possibly hundreds of hours. Compare to a movie, which I...

    Thank you all for the kind welcome. This is so educational! With my words about complexity however, I should add I also do not like math metals from what little I have heard. What draws me about SyX is that their music can be enjoyed just as much as it can be analysed. Well, I've bought my...

    Are you going the see Symphony X on the new tours? If so, where and when?

    I just purchased my ticket for the May 06 show in Seattle. I am totally a poser, as not only will this be my first time seeing SyX live, it's my first time going to any kind of concert :o I grew up in a pretty traditional Chinese family, you know how rock concerts are where bad people go etc...

    Iconoclast: News/Info Thread

    I am a relatively new fan of SyX, I began in '07 with PL, didn't like it at first and shelved it - in the meantime I tried DWoT, also didn't like it much somehow. 3 months later I reluctantly listened to PL again, and suddenly The Walls of Babylon hit me like a train and I realised how...
