If you’re a fan of progressive metal, or simply looking for something new and exciting to listen to, you owe it to yourself to check out Symphony X. On June 8th at The Plaza Live, you can see them perform as part of their “25th Anniversary North American Tour” alongside other great bands Haken and Trope (GET TICKETS HERE).
Symphony X has found international acclaim throughout the years by combining progressive metal with classical, operatic, and even mythological influences to create a truly unique and ethereal sound. Formed in New Jersey in 1994, the band currently consists of guitarist Michael Romeo, keyboardist Michael Pinnella, drummer Jason Rullo, lead vocalist Russell Allen and bassist Michael Lepond. The group saw their first success in 1996 with the release of their second album The Divine Wings Of Tragedy, arguably one of the best progressive metal albums ever created. The song “Of Sins and Shadows” off the album is a perfect example of their overall craft, fluid and calculated breakdowns, cerebral lyrics, and a deep rooted passion for the music they create.
One factor that sets this band apart is their use of mythology in their music. In addition to simply sounding metal as hell, Symphony X draws inspiration from ancient myths, legends, and literature to create head banging and thought-provoking songs. As well as being some of their darkest and most complex music to date, their most recent album, Underworld, is a love letter of sorts to the 14th century epic poem “Divine Comedy.” More commonly known as “Dante’s Inferno,” the poem is the story of a man exploring the seven circles of Hell. This perfectly lends itself to the fiery, dark, and melodic sounds of the album.
Symphony X is the deadly combination of the power of Slayer, the grace and grandiose of Queen, and the musical composition of Tchaikovsky. See them June 8th at The Plaza Live for a show you won’t soon forget!
