There are two bands with this title, a well-known metal band from the East Coast of the US and an obscure (and now defunct) rock band from the Midwestern US.
1. Symphony X is an American progressive/power metal band from New Jersey founded in 1994 by guitarist Michael Romeo .
Their 1997 album
The Divine Wings of Tragedy and their 2000 release
V: The New Mythology Suite have gained the band considerable attention within the progressive metal community. Musically Symphony X is similar to, although heavier than most other progressive metal bands to which they are commonly compared:
Dream Theater ,
Fates Warning and
Pain Of Salvation .
...
They play in a very syncopated, progressive fashion, also incorporating elements of symphonic metal into their sound. Their music contains strong neoclassical elements in line with the music of Yngwie Malmsteen , Randy Rhoads and other influential neoclassical metal artists.
To date, the band has recorded 7 studio albums and also released one live album Live On the Edge Of Forever . Symphony X latest album was released June 2007, entitled Paradise Lost .
