Originally known as Church of the Machine\/CotM, the fan club was renamed SXW (Symphony X Worldwide) several years ago. In addition, as it had become unfortunately evident that a hoped-for annual fan club cd was just not going to work with the band&#8217;s schedule, the club was also switched from an annual paid renewal setup to a free enrollment membership. This entitles each member to purchase exclusive fan club materials as they become available, such as the fan club cd.<\/p>\n<p>Starting immediately, SXW is accepting new memberships (<s>see this form to sign up<\/s> sorry for the trouble with the link to the form; for the time being, just send your name and mailing address to fanclub@symphonyx.com); previous CotM\/SXW members should NOT fill out this form, but rather contact Jax to ensure that your information is current in our records, especially if you&#8217;re waiting on a cd. <\/p>\n<p><em>(**Note** as Jax will be out of town and mostly offline from May 3-9, new members may not receive a response with your membership number until May 10 or later, so please be patient.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Later in May 2015, we&#8217;ll begin pre-orders for the next fan club cd, as well as offer some exclusive merch and classic CotM bundles. There are also a handful of copies of the first fan club cd left before it is officially out of print; we&#8217;re still trying to figure out how best to make those available since there are so few and a re-pressing is not in the plans any time soon. You must be enrolled in the fan club to participate in the pre-order, as you will be asked for your membership number as part of the checkout process.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll have our own section of the symphonyx.com website and more news soon! Thanks for supporting the band!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After quite a bit more downtime than anticipated, the official Symphony X fan club has returned, effective immediately!
