Castle Festival canceled
Symphony X will not be appearing at Castle Fest in Serbia in July, as
the festival has been canceled. A statement from the Castle Fest website:
Dear all,
We're very sorry to inform you that in the light of the latest situation
developments, we're forced to cancel the Castle Festival.
This is the hardest decision we've ever made, but unfortunately this is
also the only real option. Ticket sales are simply terrible (our lineup
sold 350 tickets in total), and all other projects in Serbia are going
down.
Political situation and local incidents which happened 3 months ago led
to a few thousand e-mails of potential fans from abroad and another huge
wave of mistrust.
In addition we will still make a Judas Priest + Cavalera Conspiracy show
in Belgrade, Tasmajdan Stadium on July 1st 2008.
We will start refunding money to all those who bought tickets from June
20th 2008. Everyone will have the choice to get their money back or to
convert existing Castle festival ticket to Judas Priest + Cavalera
Conspiracy ticket.
Once again, our deepest apologies for this.

SETLIST POLL
Time for a setlist poll!
There have been rumblings here and there about the band's tour setlist & how it needs some changes. We did a setlist poll a few years ago, & I spoke with MJR about it recently & he agreed that it was time to do another one. So here's your chance to let the band know what you want to see them play on tour!
Here's how it goes. You tell me what songs you would like to hear the band play on their upcoming tours..give me 90 minutes worth of material (no, the band is not necessarily playing a 90 minute set, that's just a random number I'm choosing). You can pick particular songs, or just say that you'd like to hear anything from a certain cd, or a mix of both. I'll leave this open until midnight (US Pacific time) on Sunday night January 20th; on Monday, I'll compile the results & send them to the band, and post them for you guys as well. The last time we did this, MJR was surprised at some of the songs you all wanted to see them perform live, & took the suggestions under consideration. He says they'll do so as well this time, so make sure you let them know what you want to hear. :)
E-mail your reply to me (jax at symphonyx.com), and please make sure you put "setlist poll" in the subject line so it doesn't end up in my spam folder. And again, be sure to send in your reply by midnight US Pacific time on Sunday or it won't be counted.
Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Website update
I know that you're all anticipating a great new website to accompany a great new album - unfortunately with a death in the family and a wedding to plan, I found myself with too many tasks and too few limbs & digits. By the time the Paradise Lost stars were all aligned, I was knee-deep in preparations for my own wedding - and now as the album is about to be released, I am just days from departure for my honeymoon in the UK.
The plus: I get to take Paradise Lost along with me on my honeymoon.
The minus: You ravenous Symphony X fans will have to wait a bit longer for a new website. :(
I do hope you'll enjoy the new website when it is finally launched.
My new husband thanks you for your kindness and understanding.
