United States (1994 – present)

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.

Current lineup:
* Michael Romeo (Guitar)
* Russell Allen (Vocals)
* Michael Pinnella (Keyboards)
* Jason Rullo (Drums)
* Michael Lepond (Bass).

Former members:
* Rod Tyler (Vocals)
* Thomas Miller (Bass)
* Thomas Walling (Drums) (replaced Jason Rullo temporarily, since Rullo had to take off time for personal issues)

I think V is my favorite, but I am addicted to Paradise Lost right now. It was the only CD in my car for a while, hence the addiction.

V is a kick-ass album. the damnation game is between the worst albums of Symphony X (the first one is the worst to my opinion), and not because it's a bad album, it's because the amount of the good songs is smaller then the other albums. Divine wings of tragedy is the best progressive masterpiece by SX.

You spelt "V" wrong. Odd, because it's very easy to spell.
