Symphony X was founded in New Jersey in 1994 after Michael Romeo, the guitarist, had garnered some attention after his self produced solo, "The Dark Chapter"
The first album was praised by progressive metal fans everywhere and recieved rave reviews in Japan. Only eight months after the release of the first album the band released their second entitled "The Damnation Game." The Damnation Game was well recieved in prog metal circles for its unique blend of power, progressive, and neoclassical metal stylings. The intense guitar work of Michael Romeo coupled with the power of vocalist Russell Allen, the album broke them out of the unknown. However, they would follow it up with what many consider to be their crowning achievement, The Divine Wings Of Tragedy. Featuring, among other things, a 20 minute title track
complete with choir, the album would withstand the test of time as a terrific album. Other albums the band has released include Twilight In Olympus, (which many find a step down from the band), V: The New Mythology Suite (arguments occur almost daily whether this album is better than Divine Wings or not), and The Odyssey, which was the band's most successful album to date, truly
breaking them out of the relatively unknown and earning them a spot on Gigantour. « hide |
