Symphony X's genre/style?

[Emanuele]

Oh my God

GRIND METAL:

The protagonist arrives, screams something completely undecipherable for about 2 minutes and then leaves...

The best description I've ever heard!

 

[profskett]

ALT METAL:

The protagonist arrives to find out that the princess is already being f***** by somebody and then they go complain about it on their website. Then they write a love song about it even though the princess never met them in the first place.

Is it just me, or is that exactly what emo is??

 

[Tubbs]

Well, alt metal is relatively close to emo lol.

[Beelzebub]

The best description I've ever heard!

It would be more accurate if they changed the 2 minutes to 30 seconds

dont know if anyone has seen this before?

lmao - that was excellent

 

[proulxski]

I have trouble classifying them...but the sure fire way is, on the back of the odyssey just under the bar code (or above) it says "File under progressive metal" strangely enough the place i purchased the album from (HMV) only has a 'metal' section not a prog metal section lol

 

[OfSinsEvolution]

I Kinda agreed with Montu Sekhmet... I once heard something like neo-classical, power, speed, progressive Metal.... i don't know if it's accurate, but it works for me..... What does romeo says?

 

[Metalman7983]

i have heard them called classical power metal so that works lol

 

[wchuck]

neoclassical symphonic progressive power metal with an hint to avantgarde!

 

[Horus]

What's Avantgarde?

 

[profskett]

What's Avant garde?

Avant Garde is something which is radically new or original - a lot of the time in music it is used to describe stuff which sounds like nothing they've ever hear before...

neoclassical symphonic progressive power metal with an hint to avantgarde!

Why the hell does it have to be so specific? Progressive Metal sums it up fine for me.

As long as that description is, it pretty well hits the nail on the head, IMO.

 

[Moonchild141]

I always thought SyX was gangsta rap. damn guess i was wrong

 

[Anonymous]

Progangsta rap-metal

 

[KeatTikhones]

The Style Of Symphony X is a neoclassical progressive metal

 

[KeatTikhones]

And 2 last album - Holywood metal. But my opinion - Not Power. Stratovarius and Blind Guardian are not roots of Symphony X's Style

 

[arglebargle]

Haha, Hollywood Metal.

the only band pompous enough to truly deserve that tag is Rhapsody.

 

[KeatTikhones]

only elements. It's my opinion because John Williams is one of the favourite composers of Michael Romeo and it's sounds...

 

[turke]

Neo-classical progressive metal fits for Symphony X i think.
