No news from these guys? It's about time they release a new album, they are probably working on that.

Considering how long "paradise Lost" took, maybe not so soon >:

I hope you're wrong though. 5 years is a lot.

An amazing band all around. Paradise Lost was incredible, and by far my favorite of their releases. Unfortunately I have missed them every time they have come around since I first started listening to them... so I certainly hope a new release is on it's way, or at least another tour. I would really love to see them live.

Written by BloodTears on 29.07.2009 at 18:18 ha, i like these guys too  did you expect that?  i love their music, my favorite songs probably being Rapture or Pain and Orion, i love how Romeo is a cross between Dimebag, Malmsteen(check out the beginning of Inferno, now that is a dime-malmsteen mix if i've ever heard one) and Petrucci while playing about 10 riffs per minute. eggsellent. also i noticed this recently, but all you Symphony X fans check out the song Sails of Charon by Scorpions, i find it has a very similar atmosphere to Symphony X's work, and the guitar work is pretty much what Romeo would have played if he went back to the 70s lol.

Written by Valentin B on 21.09.2009 at 16:17 lol I reckon you have a good taste by now,. Yes, Romeo is a bunch of guitar players at the same time, crazy playing but he can write beautiful melodies and solos as well. I kinda miss them though, they always spend so much time on their albums...

As long as their new cd is as awesome as their previous efforts, I don't care how long they take to make it  Beats the hack bands that churn out a shit album every 2 years like clockwork.

I love Symphony X! What I find amazing about them, is each consecutive album seems to be even better than the previous one! Michael Romeo is one of my guitar idols, and the whole band is just inasanely talented! Russell Allen is one of my fave singers, his voice is immense.  Apparently they are hoping to have their next album out next year. I won't hold my breath for that, but I'll be very pleased if it is! "Paradise Lost" was awesome, even though I had to wait five years for them to make the damn thing!

Written by Valentin B on 21.09.2009 at 16:17 SX is probably teh Only prog band I like... (Unless you count Mastodon as Prog, which would be as counting Tool as prog) Without being as pretentious as most prog guitar players are, playing a virtuous 28 minute solo that bores you to death.

Written by +{Jonas}+ on 20.11.2009 at 02:13 I wouldn't say prog guitar players were pretentious. Seriously, who plays excessively long solos in prog? They sometimes make up excessively complex riffs and rhythms, but those can be fun at the same time.

Haven't heard much mention of V: the new mythology suite, such an epic album, and very different from the rest....If you guys haven't heard their live on the edge of forever, i highly reccommend it.

I consider both "V" and "Paradise Lost" to be quite a way better than "The Odyssey"...

Written by Angelic Storm on 08.02.2011 at 00:53 It's curious you like "The Damnation Game" so much. I think it deserves a lot more credit than people usually give it.

Written by BloodTears on 08.02.2011 at 12:37 To me at least, it's by far their most underrated album, and one of their best works too. It is true that most people dont hold it in as high esteem like say V or Divine Wings, but Ive never really got why. I think why I like it so much, is it manages to be very memorable and catchy overall, while still being complex if not as overtly so as some of the albums that came after it. I certainly love the album a lot, and see it as a real classic in it's genre, and for the band itself. Despite the majority of opinion regarding it as one of their weaker efforts.

V is their best work hands down for me. Then Divine Wings of Tragedy, and then Twilight in Olympus.

What do you think about the new leaked song? and the new artwork? im linking the song, although it cant be appreciated at its best from live footage. at leats i can say that im glad keyboards are all over the song, Pinella is just a master.

The album cover looks cool and also interesting at the same time, but where did you find it? I haven't been able to find it at all over the web, never knew the even revealed it yet  The song is but I am liking the song a lot. Can't wait to hear the whole CD.
