An album tailor-made for true Symphony X fans, and for anything that, in compositional terms, taps into the refined, filigree fine mechanics of Michael Romeo's "hands of God."

With »Twilight in Olympus«, Symphony X pulled off one of their defining achievements and earned themselves a well-deserved higher profile among those prog metal fans who didn't swear by Dream Theater alone.

The great American prog metallers Symphony X were a big name on the metal scene a few years back, but after releasing The Odyssey in 2002 they sank into near-oblivion. This year they came back in a big way with the excellent…

A (way too) loooong five years have passed since The Odyssey, the last release from American progressive metal masters Symphony X. The follow-up has seen so many delays and postponements that I was slowly starting to worry we were getting…
