Symphony X's Wondrous Work

The forthcoming album from New Jersey based Symphony X is a wondrous work. Nine polished tracks filled with ear candy for the most discriminating listener, but also a gritty guitar record, something the oft mislabeled 'prog metallers' really stressed this time out. Spending the best part of a week sleeping on the mixer's couch, guitarist Michael Romeo put the final touches on The Odyssey, named for the Homeric epic.

In addition to an 18 minute opus, tracing the plotline of the Greek classic, inspiration was also garnered from more contemporary works, like Poe's Pit And The Pendulum ('King Of Terrors') or Disney's Fantasia. "Russ (Allen, vocals) was over," begins guitarist Michael Romeo, "and I had Fantasia on, the Sorcerer's Apprentice scene. I'm a big movie buff. He thought the music was really cool. He said, 'You should write some riffs using that.' We kind of incorporated that and at one point I go into Paul Dukas' famous (theme). It's something for the fans." More...

News from Lullacry's Outinen

Lullacry drummer Jukka Outinen's update on the progress toward the band's third full-length album, featuring new vocalist Tanja Lainio:

"In three demo sessions we have recorded 12 songs in total. They will now face even more tuning and tweaking before they are set in their final forms. Soon we're gonna decide how many songs (and which of them) are going to end up our third album. It's now only three more weeks before we're starting the real action at Finnvox Studios, Helsinki. We begin with the drums and then move on to a cottage on the coast of Baltic Sea where all the other instruments and vocal parts are going to be done. Our recording engineer is taking all his mobile Wonder-Gizmo-Systems with him so as long as there is electricity in the coastal box I'm sure everything's ending up just fine. Right now it's time for us to focus on being heavy as hell!"

The band will be collaborating with producer Mikko Karmila. Among the tracks to appear on the upcoming album are: "Over," "Darkest Hour," "Alright Tonight," "Every Single Day, " "Better Days," "Crucify My Heart," and "Unchain."
