    Symphony X - Nevermore

    I am happy to hear new material, and as usual there are things that I like and thinks I almost hate. I fucking hate the mixing, especially the chorus. I could analyze this to death but I`m just not gonna do it. I love the guitar solos and the fact that there is just more melody in there. I do...

    SY-X Fans...Just curious..What do you do for a living!!

    hehehe.. Depends how you look at things I guess.. :) I represented my country in several occations, in biathlon, during my active career. I was what you could call quite promising. But I gave up the career when my old man passed away some years ago, and we had to make some serious decisions...

    SX will never ever come up with magic like "V" again... Sad, but true.. :( Sx has changed and not necessarily for the worse, but they have changed. When I listen to any other album they`ve made, I don`t go into this "mode" were nothing is real. With "V" they just didn`t make a fantastic...

    The Odyssey

    You need to talk to one guy only... Mr. Stig Nergård. He is the most gifted musician I`ve ever seen, except of Shawn Lane. He is almost always busy, but he is the dude when it comes to SX.
