How did Symphony X get started?
Back then in 1992, an unknown guitar player called Michael Romeo released an obscure demo tape titled ‘The Dark Chapter’ which featured nine instrumental tracks of heavy, neoclassical metal. Finally, it was released in 1994 as a full length album and created some buzz in Japan, which led to the creation of the band known today as Symphony X.
Should I get Symphony X?
Symphony X fans will still feel familiar with the singing however; Tyler tends to hit the same notes and styles that Allen does, and the same style that kind of makes Symphony X stand out from other similar bands. Over all if you are a Symphony X fan or a fan of power and/or neo-classical metal then definitely get it.
What do you think about Symphony X’s debut album?
A debut album can either make or break a band. If the debut is popular the band will most likely create more albums and make money. If it’s bad the band will likely break up and the members will join other bands. The first album by Symphony X is quite enjoyable, even though it doesn’t sound anything like their latest material.
When did Symphony X release their first album?
Finally, it was released in 1994 as a full length album and created some buzz in Japan, which led to the creation of the band known today as Symphony X. This self-titled album sounds like a natural successor for The Dark Chapter. The workmanship of Romeo is very dominant in this record.
