Bands similar to SX

[Phanto]

The Battle is nothing like SX.

The most SX thing Allen has done without SX is this:

 

[EyeballKid]

Really, Phanto? Thanks for posting that song, I've never heard it before and it's amazing! But I wouldn't say it sounds ANYTHING like SX.

 

[Marwen]

I would say the most SymX thing Russell has done outside of SymX is definitely:

(shit sound quality, the real thing sounds better)

 

[Ryan M.]

Hey! There are a few Avantasia songs with Russel Allen:

States of Matter
Stargazers
The Wicked Symphony
Journey To Arcadia

Jorn Lande also appears in these (Except for Journey To Arcadia).

 

[Krowsnest]

Russell has also been confirmed for the new Star One (it was guessed at before, but Arjen confirmed it in a recent video)

I might have to change my profile picture for the new album cover too....... lol

 

[Kilroy Murdoch]

Vanden Plas or Seventh Wonder are usually considered similar...

[Dippo Magoo]

Vanden Plas is good, but I never really noticed a similarity to SX.

And yeah, I'm totally pumped up for new Star One, Arjen, Russell, and Floor are three of my favorite people in Metal, and I think I prefer the direction this new one is going in, much darker and heavier. Though the name is kinda silly, Victims of the Modern Age.

 

[DeathByDeath]

Tetrafusion:

 

[Liquid Tension]

I believe Russel did a track on the new Revamp disc for those of you looking for other stuff...

Yeah me too! This has potential to be a great album.

Speaking of Star One, reading their wikipedia page made me chuckle today:

"Live line-up

* Russell Allen - Vocals, Air Guitar

Check out the new band Anthriel, they definitely remind me of SX:

 

[SymphonyXV]

Thanks guys. I'm checking out all these bands now.

 

[Iced Dog]

I second the Anthriel recommendation...I just listened to their new debut album (The Pathway), very good prog metal...gonna have to snag this over at Laser CD.

 

[manticore999]

Just checked this thread and have been listening to Anthriel and Hourglass. Holy shit, I can't believe I never heard these two before. Outstanding!

 

[SymphonyXV]

I downloaded Suspyre's When Time Fades album and I think it just might be the greatest album I've ever heard. It has everything on it. The singer REALLY sounds like Russel Allen. Sometimes I forget and think I'm listening to SX!

Good for you...

I like that disc a lot also...

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

I dig the Anthriel album; definitely some Symphony X influence there. I also like how the singer doesn't sound like a girl, unlike a lot of other power/prog metal.

 

[LittleTortillaBoy]

Has anyone mentioned band called Darkwater? I strongly recommend!!

 

[shredtastical]

I'm a college student. SX is coming to my city during finals week. Fuck my life

 

[PrgrsveMetalnChains]

I've said it before...Circus Maximus is hands down a band I think sounds amazingly like Symphony X. Vocals are different but I think they're just great. Everything they have is good IMO. Imperial Destruction and Mouth of Madness are my top 2 picks from their 2 albums. Amazing band.

Downloading that Suspyre band right now...gonna give it a listen.
