Posted on Monday, July 05 @ 02:00:00 UTC by nightowl

As reported on (about) June 19, North America's progressive metal gods Symphony X recently [around March it seems -ed.] entered the studio to begin laying down the drum tracks for the band's next studio album, tentatively due before the end of the year via their new record label, Nuclear Blast Records. According to the band's webmaster, "the drums and most of the rhythm guitars are all recorded. At the moment, they are fine-tuning the lyrics and melodies, during which time Russ [Allen] will also be recording his vocals.



Jason Rullo [...] was scheduled to enter the studio [back on March 18] to begin laying down the drum tracks for the band's next studio album [...] The band's guitarist Michael Romeo previously stated about the group's new material, "We have over an hour of really good stuff that we really dig; there's more than enough stuff there that we can choose the best songs to go on the CD... but all of the songs are really strong. One is shaping up to be 10 minutes plus.

"I think everyone will like it," Romeo concluded. "It has a little bit of everything."

On November 4, 2008, InsideOut Music released a special 5.1 edition of Symphony X's critically acclaimed album Paradise Lost. The double-disc package includes a DVD 5.1 mix by Jens Bogren of the entire album as well as two enhanced HD videos for "Set The World On Fire" and "Serpent's Kiss."
