New Jersey’s SYMPHONY X Secures Support Slot on QUEENSRŸCHE 2004 Tour

New Jersey’s own Symphony X has been touring endlessly to promote their newest release, the vibrant, thought-provoking Inside Out Music America debut The Odyssey. The band has toured the world for many years, and now they are making their return to American soil. Having headlined the first evening of 2004’s March Metal Meltdown in New Jersey, the band has been announced as the main support for Queensrÿche’s 2004 tour. The two band’s styles perfectly complement each other in vicious harmony; Queensrÿche’s sophisticated elegance melding with Symphony X’s savage grace.

Currently composing material for their new album for Inside Out, the band was not expecting another tour so soon, but immediately jumped at the opportunity. The band’s most recent album The Odyssey is an 8-track masterwork of intelligent, classically-influenced heavy metal music unlike anything America has ever produced, and quickly became the best-selling SoundScanned release in the history of InsideOut Music. The album also caused Guitar World Magazine to acknowledge Michael Romeo acknowledged as one of the Top 100 Guitarists of All Time! Sweeping melodies and technical prowess define Symphony X’s grandiose approach, while the dexterous & emotive vocals of (Sir) Russell Allen complement each composition immaculately. The Odyssey also features an adventurous 24-minute, seven-part epic that shares the album’s namesake, a dynamic piece based on Homer’s heroic poem depicting man’s undying will despite all tribulations – an ideal paralleling Symphony X’s own history. Following the tour, Symphony X will head back to the studio to complete their next sonic sculpture for a summer release.

In related news, Inside Out Music America has recently repackaged & reissued the band’s first four releases, each now containing special video interview segments. More information on the titles available here: http://www.insideoutmusic.com/bands/band-symphonyx.php.

Cool band. I wouldn't be surprised if they blew the faltering Ryche offstage.
