Now it's not coming out till 2007? Holy crap.
Blabbermouth article:
Progressive metal act SYMPHONY X is continuing work on its follow-up to 2002's "The Odyssey", entitled "Paradise Lost", tentatively due in early 2007. The following message has been issued by the group's official webmaster:
"Just spoke to [guitarist Michael James Romeo and] here's the latest:
"It seems that this is doomed to be the 'Murphy's law' CD, where anything that could go wrong, will/has gone wrong. Due to technical problems, first with the studio computers, and then with the failure and subsequent replacement/installation of somewhat-hard-to-find parts in Michael James Romeo's amps, the band's about two weeks behind where they'd hoped to be progress-wise at this point. This has thrown off the projected date for getting the CD out and mixed, so they've had to push back the date for that by about a month in accordance with what dates were available to them.
"Currently Michael James Romeo is getting his guitar parts finished, and after that Mike LePond will finish up his bass parts, and then Russ [Allen] will enter the studio to work on recording the vocals.
"Mike asked me to extend the band's appreciation to the fans for their patience, and at this point, is anticipating a release date after the New Year; I have no doubt that it will be well worth the wait."
SYMPHONY X was recently forced to cancel a couple of European festival appearances after bassist Michael LePond was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease (an inflammatory bowel disorder). He has since underegone surgery and has been released from the hospital.
SYMPHONY X was one of the second-stage bands at last summer's Gigantour, a six-week festival trek co-headlined by MEGADETH and DREAM THEATER. "Rarities and Demos", the first fan club CD from the SYMPHONY X fan club, Church of the Machine, was shipped out in July 2005 to fan club members. The CD included demo material, rare unreleased material, and guitarist Michael James Romeo's interpretation of the "Star Wars" theme, done with over 15 guitar tracks.
