Symphony X Official Website
Seems like the band Michael Romeo put together in 1994 never gets much respect, at least not as much as their contemporaries Dream Theater. It's a shame really that not more people know about this progressive metal band, they've been cranking out good albums since "The Divine Wings of Tragedy". Fortunately they have found success overseas like many other American metal bands. Russell Allen is one of the best vocalists in metal, when he joined Symphony X for their 3rd album that was the missing piece. They have a penchant for writing about the past, based on historic novels and mythology and recording concept albums, which I've always had a weakness for.
I've got all their albums, but unless you're a completionist I would start with their 3rd release, "Divine Wings Of Tragedy", it's much better than the first two.

that must have been fun in the studio. "Hey Mike" and 3 guys all say "wuh?!" at the same time.
