SYMPHONY X

Release Year: 2015
Artist Origin: USA
Style: neoclassical progressive power heavy metal

still the latest album of genius New Jersey team, considered by many fans and critics alike as the highlight of 2015's progressive metal scene, marks the band's aim to update the lush sound picture with elements of their classic neosymphonic works which at the time earned them attention and praise, yet wrapped in modern context that is nevertheless full of intricacy and quite some twists appearing from the shadows - keyboard player Michael Pinnella is as never important in both the songwriting and arrangements, but the rest of the team are always here to make it a definite team work, full of virtuosity and complexity, balanced dynamics, epic melodies, a strong narrative, and confident energy, turning this opus into a cohesive creation that lingers in memory within a progressive context; authentic German edition
