ABOUT SYMPHONY X
A distinct murmur went around the world in 1994 when a certain six-string guitarist from New Jersey named Michael Romeo of the prog band Gemini recorded THE DARK CHAPTER demo and sent it out to record labels.  It seemed the new guitar messiah of the coming 21st century had made himself known to the world and he soon launched a new band that would stir up the prog genre! With an innovative mixture of heavy metal, progressive rock and (neo) classical hard sounds, Romeo and his men in SYMPHONY X recorded a debut album (released in Japan in ’94; released worldwide in 1995) that began their journey to create a blueprint for the young generation of prog-metallers to follow.
 
THE DAMNATION GAME (1995) celebrated the debut of the band’s second asset: the charismatic, deeply emotional and relentlessly aggressive vocals of Russell AllenTHE DIVINE WINGS OF TRAGEDY (1997) placed the emphasis on the band’s progressive approach and is still considered to be SYMPHONY X’s ultimate masterpiece.  TWILIGHT IN OLYMPUS (1998) livened up the band’s classical aspects with the instrumental ‘Sonata‘ (which is based on the piano Sonata No. 8 “PathÃtique” by Ludwig van Beethoven). Via V: THE NEW MYTHOLOGY SUITE (2000), the quintet delivered their first concept album at the turn of the millennium that dealt with the myth of Atlantis. LIVE ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER (2001) was visual proof that the band could easily transpose their complex material onto the stage. Oriented towards the eponymous poem by English poet John Milton, the thrashing harshness of THE ODYSSEY (2002) is said to be the band’s most aggressive album to date. PARADISE LOST (2007) is the darkest and most gothic-like work in the bands’ discography.
 
Whether it’s the genius writing and execution of Michael Romeo, his thoughts incubating exactly four years since the band’s slamming last album “Iconoclast” or the heroic health battles of drummer Jason Rullo bounding back from heart failure in 2013, or simply the maturity of holding fast a band lineup, essentially rock-solid over 20 years… whatever the factors involved, SYMPHONY X have struck an enriched level of maturity with this their ninth album, entitled Underworld.
 
Having been through the wars, voluntarily made tougher by insisting on playing intellectually and technically challenging music for fans that demand it and then made harsh again by the evolving contours of the music industry, most notably the shift to singles and single songs SYMPHONY X have triumphed, creating a panoramic old school rock album experience in an era cursed with shorter and shorter attention spans.
