How would you describe Symphony X’s music?

MICHAEL ROMEO – That is difficult because we try to make each song have its own individuality. We just try to write good songs. Comparing the sound of a song like “King of Terrors” to say..”Candlelight Fantasia ” is tough. We are a metal band, we have progressive tendencies and incorporate classical ideas into the music. But each song is usually very different from the next. People have their own way of labeling bands as well…someone could hear “The Accolade” and think of us as a prog band…someone could hear “Wicked” and say we are a metal band . Someone could hear the track “The Odyssey”, and have no idea. So…I guess if we had to narrow it down..we are a progressive metal band.
