Symphony X

[HellFire]

Im new to symphony x (just bought oddyssey) ,all i can say is this album is nothing short of a masterpeice , it's INCREDIBLE!!!! symphony x are propbably now my second fave band , LONG LIVE METAL/POWER METAL

just a few questions though

what direction will sx go for in their next album will they go even heavier(fingers crossed) , and when is the next album coming out????

What other sx albums are as heavy as oddssey????

Cheers

Every CD is unique, like a new experiment for the guys. Sure, they could go heavier and they may because of the success of "Odyssey". But I predict (and hope) it's a more symphonic and melodic collection. Just my thoughts, really. Maybe there will be a song that gets airplay. Who knows, they could be the band that opens this genre up to the masses. But as much as I would be happy for them, I don't know how I would feel about that. (sitting in an big arena for a SymX concert....I don't like the mental picture of this, altho I'm sure they would!)

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

I estimate by 2006 , symphony x will be the most popular/leading metal band in the world!

hopefully

They've gone to the park, they'll be back in 5 minutes

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Please, oh God please, go get Divine Wings of Tragedy and V. THEN you'll see how much SymX rocks. And stop crossing your fingers for them to keep getting heavier!

I will not stop crossing my fingers! They better be heavy as hell just as Odyssey was. SymX knows how to mix melody and METAL \m/ into one nice steamy tasty stew of ROCK

I personally could care less if the new album is heavier than The Odyssey. I know that it will be great, whether it's heavy and ultra-metal, or more progressive and neo-classical.

Rumor has it that the new Symphony X album will have no guitar solos, no fancy keyboard parts, and Russ constantly singing out of key. They're going for a more "raw" feel this time...

 

[The Yngster]

Nice one Morphine

 

[HellFire]

the raw feel sucks, it never works and more and more bands seem to be doing it :-(

I agree , on odessy sx have melted metal with melodic sounds and symphonic stuff , it's just perfect a TRUE MASTERPEACE....now i gotta go and buy v and divine wings of tradegey

 

[Pharaoh]

Didn't Russ say the next one's going to be a Willie Nelson tribute album?

"ON THE ROAD AGAIN......."

They talk about SymX on the Metallica board? How'd that come about, I have to ask!?

 

[HellFire]

It was in the met board musicians section (the only section of the metallica board that is not inhabited with troll's), i cant remember exactly what the conversation was but i think it was about power metal and someone said that sx werent there cup of tea but they certainly know how to play their instrument's....sx were mentioned a couple of times

 

[yeet_SAY_jama]

dude, get "V: The New Mythology Suite"
or "The Divine Wings of Tragedy"

 

[HellFire]

Why a few weeks? You can buy them directly from the band.. http://www.churchofthemachine.com/merchandise.html ..this page will be moving to the band's site once the new site design is unveiled, too, so it'll be easier to find.
