So my good friend Mike LePond is the bass player in Symphony X. He said that their recent tour was the best they've ever had. In our last convo he gave a huge shout-out to the fans for their support. Note that a band like Symphony X isn't a bunch of millionaires. Plus, the revenue situation in music - even for a band like Symphony X - isn't nearly what it used to be. These guys make music and tour because it's what they love to do. Every little bit of support helps.

[@Anirlon]

I saw their Chicago show on that tour - glad to hear they felt the love! It was my first time seeing them live, and it kicked ass.

I'd love to get into this argument, but I already reached my youtube commenting quota defending Dream Theater's "The Astonishing". I"d likely just say all the same stuff here. Good music is good music and bands like DT and Symphony X likely don't care if you decide they aren't heavy enough, or prog enough. This song kicks ass.

i never liked them that much i mean, they were pretty damn good in some songs and others were like bad...... This is gorgeous , non that complex lyrics or melody but for fuck sake as long as the resoult is this smooth and fluid i am gonna give it a thumb up..... this song is amazing nothing seems forced, looks like the whole song made itself without any sort of constriction , everything is how it should be and the video is nice too... i liked it and i usually hate lyrics videos.... really good if the album is as good as this i feel like it will be my summer album, the one u listen till you hate it or you learn every single song by heart.

[@Bellathor]

PiratePineapplez Third time listening and yeah it is exactly that, good description. :) But man if you don`t like The Odyssey/V The New Mythology Suite/Divine Wings of Tragedy then I gotta ask you: "The hell is wrong with you?" :P

[@PiratePineapplez]

i can just love 1 song per artist for ex i think that The game form dragonforce is a great song but i hate all the other song they made. i only listen to songs that can make me feel something , if i feel nothing listening to a song this means that i wont listen again that music..

[@Noxxys]

PiratePineapplez Maybe give another chance to the old songs? Some are way better than this one, and others are around the same quality. My favorite album is "V".

[@Bellathor]

Noxxys Some of the amazing songs include Awakenings/The Accolade/Accolade II/The Odyssey(song)/Paradise lost - there is really a lot of other amazing songs. Maybe you would enjoy the "Live on the Edge of Forever" from 2001.

For the Symphony X Fans: I don't know if you've noticed some connections in the artwork of this video and some from the older album artworks. If you see in 4:08 the girl with the flower, is the same as the girl with the flower in the Paradise Lost album artwork, and the same as the girl in the The Divine Wings of Tragedy album artwork.

I can't say I'm experienced listener as I'm seriously interested in metal from 2 years and I'm a teenager. Still the symphony X has the great quality of work, amazing compositions and what makes them better from dream theater IMHO, they just play it hard. Sx ftw! ;)

[@MaximumPayne12]

I liked 'Nevermore' a lot better (even if it's a different style as well) and not beacuse it's a metal fast paced song, it's just this one hasn't really anything strong or new to offer... It sounds like a thousand songs I've listened from many other random bands, I mean it's a nice song but nothing unforgettable like the songs from their older albums. Where's the mystical breaks? the keyboard solos? the neoclassical/symphonic riffs and arrangements? let alone the progressiveness... 6/10*

[@tomsnyper1720]

I honestly was hoping this album would turn out a little more like Paradise Lost. That was the peak of performance for SX, if you ask me. :/ It just lacks the energy, even for a slower more ballady type of song. Oh, well! Looking forward to hearing more from the album!! :D

[@sixgunsymphony]

"Oh no! This song doesn't have the droning guitar/keyboard dueling solos of albums past! It must suck!" (one dimensional Symp. X fans stuck in the past).

[@rubenveragomez2625]

Evans Martin It isn't a matter of being stuck in the past, but the direction they've chosen to follow. Not a complex one, not something fully devoted to creating art, but to selling it.

[@sixgunsymphony]

Rubén Vera Gómez Yeah, Symphony X is now in the same category as Taylor Swift. Did Symphony X shoot your dog? You may be able to enjoy boring music, and I can too, but I prefer music with a hook and emotion over pretentious noodling. They are popular because of the last three albums which warranted touring and marketing. Are you seriously suggesting they'd be as popular as they are now had they released DWOT Pt. II?? And you're asking to be labeled when you post things like this, "Symphony X is selling out". They are releasing better, catchier, higher quality songs than any other metal band out there. What you have a problem with is their more straightforward approach. Do you not like Dio, Sabbath, Ozzy, and Priest? I do, so this is my favorite version of Symphony X to date. And guess what, the band likes those bands too as you likely know. Well, they''re taking the classic metal formula and making it even better and their own, and you call that "selling out". Let me guess, you don't like Russell's solo album?

[@rubenveragomez2625]

Ok,whatever, sorry for being entitled to an opinion. My personal favourite is PL and the Symphony X's side I like the least is precisely the noodling one you're talking about and, as far as I remember, I haven't even mentioned. There is no progressive metal in this song, there is no emotion, just generic song-writing and lyrics and an attempt to bring back memories to the fans that were expecting something as good as PL but ended up being a rude mixture of what they were known for back in the DWOT era. They have become more popular not for being more straightforward but the taboo word for that euphemism, which is generic. And again, sorry if getting to know other people's opinion makes you butthurt, welcome to real life. PD: SX is my favourite band, and if they want to change the direction they have been moving to is ok, just let me be a little bit judgamental with what I think is not the essence if their sound. Accolade II, PL, even a little bit of Nevermore. That's SX, not this.

[@sixgunsymphony]

Rubén Vera Gómez Ahhh, there is no "progressive" in this song. That's why it's great! it's technical, heavy yet melodic, and very, very catchy with a great hook. See, this band is now a metal band with progressive/neoclassical elements, but metal first. They are fans of metal (Priest, Dio, Ozzy), and this is Symphony X's version of a classic, timeless formula that you call "selling out". Guess you're not a fan of heavy metal. They've become more popular because they've started focusing on song writing rather than arpeggios, and that's a good thing.

[@rubenveragomez2625]

Evans Martin Well, if writing masterpieces such as The Odyssey, Divine Wings of Tragedy, Lady of the Snow, Church of the Machine and of course both Accolades isn't brilliant song writing then I don't know what you have listened to from this band.

Great song, way better than the first. Symphony x is evolving into a more prog heavy metal than symphonic prog. Maybe change their name into Progressive X :P

[@israelrodrigues4428]

Russell é um monstro no vocal!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Thismaninyourdreams]

A lot of you don't realize, this band is evolving. They don't like making the same album twice. This once, to me, sounds darker than their other ones.

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Lame trendy lyrical video and generic ballad.Hm..Well time to listen V and Odyssey once again and pray better next time.

[@rubenpm5902]

Amazing song! This is one of the best songs that I've heard in the last few years

[@KyleJPie10]

Good music, but not the SX I love. I miss the neoclassical prog.

[@sixgunsymphony]

KyleJPie10 I'm thrilled to hear them moving beyond the "neoclassical prog" stuff.

[@KyleJPie10]

Evans Martin They aren't moving beyond anything. From Paradise Lost to now they have entered a realm of generic metal. Without Russell, this band would be dead in the water.

[@sixgunsymphony]

KyleJPie10 Without Romeo they're also dead in the water, as you put it. In case you haven't heard, Romeo is one of the best song writers in metal. The fact they've moved beyond noodling to hook song writing is a positive for longevity and relevance. If you don't like it, spin their first 5 albums.

[@KyleJPie10]

Evans Martin Plenty of bands stick to their roots and make it just fine. SX would have definitely been one of those bands. They're catering to a new generation rather than the generation that is responsible for their existence. They've somewhat sold out. At least in a fairly respectable manner.

[@sixgunsymphony]

KyleJPie10 Symphony X isn't "plenty of bands"; they are one of the best if not the best in metal today. Their song writing in the genre is second to none, and that in and of itself is a sign of a remarkable band. I'm of the "generation that is responsible for their existence", and I couldn't possibly disagree with your more. The neoclassical thing is beyond played out, boring, and they've turned to writing hooks which few bands do well. I'm sorry you don't like it, but you sound like a Rush fan who wants Moving Pictures over, and over, and over . . . . . . . No thanks!

[@tylerthomas5304]

Love the solo, and acoustic as always Romeo . But the lyrics are way too cheesy for how mellow this song is. Still can't wait for the album though.

[@lt7114]

Beautiful. Love that this band keeps progressing.

[@derrickdorry]

I love Symphony X, but this shit is so pedestrian and generic. I'm going to go and listen to V. I had high hopes for this release :(

[@IFGchannel931]

Better than Nevermore, but... I really hope they are saving the killer stuff for the official release. The 2 songs released so far are... too streamlined, I don't know... "comercial songs", perhaps. Songs that are easy to hear and that don't break any new grounds.

[@silverstone3228]

Igor Freitas fuck you its like u were reading my mind...what the fuck

[@IFGchannel931]

fuck me, I'm a mind reader!

[@silverstone3228]

lol ...i trust u man:)) ..wts ur expectations for the album?will we get another divine wings or not?

[@IFGchannel931]

silver stone Some people had early access to the album in order to write reviews, take a look at the link below... I personally just want what they've promised: a mix between The Odyssey and Paradise Lost. Unfortunately that's not what i've seen so far, but I hope I can be positively surprised at the end :) www.metalwani.com/2015/06/review-symphony-x-underworld.html

[@davidrivanoorrego303]

Igor Freitas Totally, although this song is far better from Nevermore, is still like you said, something a little bit streamlined or even commercial sometimes, depends on the personal taste and strictness to call a thing that way. I would like to think the best is on the release still coming, but I don't know, it sounds just like a hope without sustain. In my personal opinion they did a pretty nice job even on paradise lost, the heavy thing is very well achieved, but the way they used heaviness in Iconoclast was an exaggeration, too much shallow for my taste. I'm a personal fan of the earlier sound and the balance they reached from Divine wings of tragedy until The odyssey and even Paradise Lost. I don't know, that "DWOT and PL mix" doesn't excite me so much, cause it sounds just like what it seems to me the failure these last years: to use formulas, in this case a mixed one, even though those are really good works. I really hope to be wrong about what comes, because Symphony X is able to create classic and timeless tunes, but it really seems to happen always the same. Musicians lost ambitious or stick to what they already know for different reasons.

[@TheAntropusChannel]

Love SymphonyX, but what's up with all this kabbalah symbolism in this clip? Are they promoting kabbalah these days?

[@martinaso_maquinaso]

I miss so mucho albums like divine wings or damnation game, what has happened?

[@PeteHawthorne]

That solo!

[@sebax6933]

Pete Hawthorne I know right? Michael has brought more feeling into his solos, he have changed in a good way this album, love the 2 solos I've listened so far in the only songs revealed.

[@PeteHawthorne]

So tasteful, wonderful musicianship & fretwork!

[@shaharluxenburg4640]

Wow.. This is just so uninspiring, what the hack happened to that band? from the complex riffs and melodies of Divine Wings and V - to this modern mainstream pop song in a heavier suite.. can you honestly compare "candlelight fantasia" to this awful excuse of a.. what the heck this thing is anyway? What a shame, first Dream Theater with the worst decision ever made of kicking their only creative member and now Symphony X, I mean.. after the disaster that Iconoclast was I wasn't expecting much, but at least a step in the right direction, not.. this pathetic excuse for a prog metal band.. sad day indeed.

[@c0vesturchannul379]

Shahar Luxenburg Check out the album though. My favorite song from the album is uploaded to my channel.

[@lukeweber4496]

Shahar Luxenburg For a start, I'm going to respect your opinion. But if we're going to be realistic, this is a step in the right direction. Iconoclast was not original at all, they tried to give a futuristic vibe with that one, and that really wasn't like their original stuff with all the mythical beasts and stories they told in the Odyssey. While this isn't at all like the Odyssey, I feel like I'm listening to good old Symphony X here, and they aren't trying to change the unique sound that they had to begin with.

[@CAabin]

THIS...IS...INSANE

[@giuseppemeluccio]

Suvvia, lo ammettono tanto chiaramente e amorevolmente: "I've come undone", "Mi sono esaurito"; esaurita la vivacità, esaurita l'originalità, esaurita quella geniale essenza che ha reso i Symphony X una band unica con album come V e The Odyssey. Ed è evidente dalle lyrics vuote e dimenticabili di questa ballata, per non parlare del tema (un cliché) e i riff da autoplagio; per quanto struggente sia il ritornello, mi auguro vivamente che Underworld possa offrire molto di più!

[@progresivomagnum]

yeah ¡¡¡ I can hear the old symphony x in this song , really great song ¡¡¡

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Yeah, the lyrics could really use some work...

[@archiemercer5499]

***** at least they still have their musical value

[@Sheepyhead]

***** Were Symphony X ever someone you listened to for the complexity of the lyrics? I like their simplicity, it's a good stable of this kind of power metal. It's straight to the point, it's epic and it's emotional. I love it!

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Troels Jessen Yes, actually. Have you heard the lyrics to Paradise Lost? They're fucking gorgeous, and a huge reason why it's one of my all-time favorite songs.

[@Sheepyhead]

But they're not exactly complex, they too embody the emotional and powerful simplicity that embodies most power metal.

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Troels Jessen They're creative and poetic, unlike this song's.

[@OttoNomicus]

I like it. Very good vocals, nice vibrato and pitch, enjoyable melody and competent lyrics, great guitar and drum work. A quality song all around.

[@InsaneFoolish]

ormai mi sembrano un plagio di loro stessi, è comunque più piacevole di iconoclast, daje

[@sebax6933]

InsaneFoolish TF?

[@InsaneFoolish]

***** no infatti non è un problema, sono sempre una grande band, hanno semplicemente esaurito la genialità e sono diventati un'ottima band

[@mattsdpell5029]

InsaneFoolish Grazie al cielo non sono l'unico a pensarlo

[@InsaneFoolish]

MattSD Pell si ma a quanto pare non lo devi dire ahahah

[@mattsdpell5029]

Infatti. Rimane difficilissimo far capire il senso di quello che voglio dire, perché ti accusano subito di essere invidioso (nella migliore delle ipotesi) o di non capirci niente.
