A great piece of classic prog metal from the American band
Symphony X. Unlike most bands on the progmetal scene Symphony X manages to
create something original that separates them from the lot. This album is
filled with fast heavy and very melodic music and has some great vocal lines
done by Russell Allen. It's not a surprise that Allen has been chosen to do
vocals on one of the latest Ayreon rock opera projects - he has a great voice
and also has the ability to create very nice vocal melodies instead of just
singing straight out. I don't like most progressive bands that much but
Symphony X is definitely a band to check out, even if you're not really into
this style of music. The only thing I have to remark on is that in my opinion
these bands get a little boring during the slower passages in their songs from
time to time but otherwise this is a very nice release to say the least. The
album was recorded at Trax East and The Symphony X
Dungeon.
