Progressive metal act SYMPHONY X is continuing work on its follow-up to 2002's "The Odyssey", entitled "Paradise Lost", tentatively due before the end of the year. The following message has been posted on the group's official web site:
"It would appear that one of the early drafts of the [new] CD cover has been leaked to at least one website; the band hasn't had a chance to okay any final artwork, so what you see floating around out there is NOT the final CD cover art. "Jason [Rullo, drums] is done recording his parts, and the rhythm tracks and other guitar parts should be done by next week. The band's aiming to have the music ready for mixing by mid-September; Michael James Romeo [guitar] says that things are moving right along." SYMPHONY X expects to return to the road shortly after the release of the new album. SYMPHONY X was recently forced to cancel a couple of European festival appearances after bassist Michael LePond was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease (an inflammatory bowel disorder). He has since underegone surgery and has been released from the hospital. SYMPHONY X was one of the second-stage bands at last summer's Gigantour, a six-week festival trek co-headlined by MEGADETH and DREAM THEATER. "Rarities and Demos", the first fan club CD from the SYMPHONY X fan club, Church of the Machine, was shipped out in July 2005 to fan club members. The CD included demo material, rare unreleased material, and guitarist Michael James Romeo's interpretation of the "Star Wars" theme, done with over 15 guitar tracks. -------------

Good to hear- I'm excited about the new album. I saw the leaked cover the other day it looks kinda dumb so I'm glad it's not official. |

I didn't see the artwork and I guess I won't bother. I am excited too about this next release. But I hope its better than the last release and more like "Twilight". But we'll see. Maybe they'll leak some sound bites. -------------

Why should we want a DWOT pt.II? Been there, done that, I want something new and unexpected...
There is a paradox in the prog community I cannot help but notice... Most die-hard fans of 'progressive' music don't want their favorite bands to 'progress', 'evolve' or whatever... Why call it progressive if you want your favorite artists to stagnate and do the same album over and over? It is this attitude that breeds lack of interest in neo prog, prog metal, etc. The past, as glorious as it is, remains the past. We live in the now and look forward to tomorrow.
Now I know I may get heat for this, but that's my opinion. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |
