Product Description
Content Introduction: The long-awaited reissue of Symphony X's 15-year-old masterpiece, "Underworld," by the American progressive metal band Symphony X! Inspired by Dante's "Divine Comedy," this mystical masterpiece incorporates multiples of 3 throughout the album. A must-have album for any progressive metal fan. Symphony X is an American progressive metal band formed in 1994, centered around guitarist Michael Romeo. After debuting with their self-titled album that same year, they signed with Inside Out, the mecca of modern progressive rock. Their third album, "The Divine Wings of Tragedy," released in 1997, was lauded as a masterpiece of progressive metal and solidified Symphony X's presence in the American music scene among fans worldwide. Their neoclassical style, while progressive, never becomes overly complex, and as a result, they have succeeded in capturing the hearts of not only prog fans but also fans of traditional heavy metal. Now, Symphony X's ninth album, "Underworld," released in 2015, is being reissued. This truly mystical work, inspired by Dante's "Divine Comedy," incorporates multiples of three throughout the album. In an era where the importance of the album format is diminishing year by year, Michael Romeo's words, "We wanted to create a work that was worth listening to as a whole," reveal the pride of a veteran progressive metal band, and the content is profound. On the other hand, compared to their previous work, "Iconoclast," the album is slightly more compact, with most tracks being in the 4-5 minute range, making it more accessible. This is a must-have album for Symphony X fans, and progressive metal fans in general.
