Get "Solitude*Dominance*Tragedy"

I think it's their best...pure heavy emotional dark metal....
I think they try to hard to be "prog" on In Search of Truth

Symphony X is #1. Is sooooo is.

But there are some other good band, just not as good.

Shadow Gallery
Spock's Beard
Nightwish
After Forever
etc..

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Opeth

Yeah! ISoT is one of the best metal albums of this century. They sure have some pressures to release a worthy follower. Someone said it's even darker and heavier! Can't wait to March when it will be released. Check out also their second release, "Solitude, Dominance, Tragedy", that's fucking amazing, though the production isn't maybe as perfect as in ISoT.

yes.. there actually is ONE band better than Symphony X. Their name is Ozric Tentacles. instrumental prog/space rock with oriental influences. if you're interested, please download the song Myriapod or something.. they're all GREAT.

oh, I forgot: http://www.ozrics.com

IGNORE the website's background music. it's just a 8sec sample of their most dance-influenced track but most of their songs are prog rock.

AND PAIN OF SALVATION CAN KISS MY ASS

6 Degs...I don't think so....Why do you say that?

I can't think of any 'band' that I like more.

Not Opeth, Not DT, not Metallica.

However. . . . .you said band. That means projects can still be better.

So I have to say Ayreon. I'm a huge fan of Arjen, so he stands above Symphony X.

 

[dinomight]

Pain Of Salvation, Angra, Symphony X. (in no particular order)

 

[chrisallen]

THERE ARE OTHER BANDS?!?!?!!

 

[Grom Hellscream]

Sorry for an invasion, can anybody tell me what is Opeth?
What stile do they play?
Are they good?
Thanks for the replies...

Opeth is an amazing band that playes sort of prog death metal i guess (?) The vocals are a mix between death metal (they don't suck like a lot of death metal does though) and some clean and amazing vox. There are a lot of great acoustic passages... check out either blackwater park or still life (my two personal faves!) if you haven't heard them... don't get too excited though. Symphony X is still the greatest band ever!!!!

Many really good bands, but........

Overall, considering all they've accomplished with their individual and collective talent, and the kind people that they are...none better (on this planet, anyway).

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Yes, and his name is elmo.

Nevermore were once greater than Symphony X, with the release of The Politics of Ecstasy and Dreaming Neon Black, but they have fallen. Fallen from grace these once proud men have settled for a testament-esque production and boring nu-metal riffs... Gone are the days of 10 minute songs that branched into a multitude of spiralling prog instrumental sections, gone are the incredible rhythms of Mr. Loomis, and complex drumming of Mr. Williams... gone, gone, gone.

Death WERE a much better band than Symphony X. The Sound of Perseverance absolutely slays the odyssey and V... But alas, death is no more.

Gone... Gone...




...Gone..
