***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***
Hey guys, as most of you may know updates around here and on Nuclear Blast are a little slow. I figured id start a news/information thread. So this will be a good place to come to see whats new, as well as a grand collection of the awesomeness that is to come![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
They will be going on tour soon, and with that, I/we expect some news along the way. So let this be the place for it to happen. If you post something I'll be sure to include it in the original post so we don't have to filter through everything. Let the games begin!

Album Title: Iconoclast
Release Date: June 17th, 2011
Album Artwork: There are two versions of Symphony X's upcoming masterpiece! They where once again done by artist Warren Flanagan.
JEWEL CASE
2 CD SPECIAL EDITION DIGIPAK
Album Concept/Theme:
Russell Allen says; "It is basically just the idea of machines taking over everything and all this technology we put our society into pretty much being our demise. It's a story we were all familiar with, but we put our own spin on it. It's not a linear story in terms of... This is just the theme of the record, so all the songs are in that theme, but they're not connected in any sort of story way — there's no characters of any of that stuff — it's just a theme. Like [Pink Floyd's] 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', it's really just a theme of the dark side of the moon — one song deals with death, the other one deals with time... You know what I mean?! So it's the same kind of thing. I'm not comparing the two albums by any means — don't misunderstand me — but in terms of the idea of a concept, so to speak, the concept is there, but it's not a story record — not like [2002's] 'The Odyssey', where the song 'The Odyssey' is that story."
