NOOO what happened to the mythology and power metalness. You can already tell this record is going to be their darkest and most aggressive following in the footsteps of Paradise Lost.

Was never a fan of these guys.

At least they pull off the "heavy" sound better than Dream Theater.

Sweet

Predicting it as one of my albums of the year, especially due to how long it's taken them to get this thing written and recorded.

I can't wait, these guys were one of the first prog metal bands I ever listened to.

Sweet. Paradise Lost is awesome, album should rule.

Gonna be fucking sweeeeettttt

Expecting a Mike Stagno review of this when it comes out. Can't wait!

Love these guys, already heard a few of the songs live on youtube, can't wait for the album!

Exactly one month after I see them with Nevermore. Hopefully we get a taste of it then.

Amazing news, I'll break out Paradise Lost and celebrate sometime soon.

wow original name

pssh

2011 what aren't you bringing us this year?

what's with the name iconoclast

like fucking seriously

Paradise Lost was epic. Looking forward to this.

Paradise lost was great.

My secret hope about them is the band to be further influenced from extreme metal.

Should be cool

this will be good.

Russell Allen is the best classically trained vocalist of all time. Fight me.

Album will rule

YEAH!

Awesome!

YES! YESSSS!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
4 years of wait for an album of theirs, and finally! It's gonna be album of the year no doubt. Calling it now.
/fanboy

Really liked the vibe they had going on Paradise Lost. Not too big on the cover art, but we'll just hear and see.

Expect this to rule even though the album title has been done to death.

new symphony x album=old symphony x album

Hush your mouth, child.

Old X is crap.

Maybe their first album but The Divine Wings of Tragedy is their best.

I have no doubt that it will be awesome. In an interview with one of the members (possibly the bassist, I dunno) he said that they did the album that they wanted to do and Nuclear Blast loved it.

I'm ambivalent about the subject matter, though. A criticism of the contemporary "wired" age and lifestyle with a science-fiction theme. Ancient Greece is undeniably badass, this sounds like it might suck. But the music sure as hell won't. In my opinion every subsequent album has had better music.

so excited for this

Cool

Excellent

Hell yes, their last album was awesome

never liked them but i'll give it a listen

love these guys, the odyssey was epic as fuck. no doubt some awesome solos are gonna be on here.

Finally, Hopefully it will be well worth the wait.
