Symphony X sign with Nuclear Blast

US Prog metal legends Symphony X sign with Nuclear Blast Records.

"Together, we will bring this talent to a new level! We hope you are ready for the ride! We are happy to be the part of the Nuclear Blast Family and look forward to working with them for many years to come," says guitar player Michael Romeo.

Commented Nuclear Blast's Jaap Wagemaker (A & R): "As lifelong fans of the band, it is with great pride that Nuclear Blast announces the signing of US metal / prog gods Symphony X!!! Symphony X exemplifies the technical sophistication of progressive metal while transcending the genre by writing amazing songs with masterful musicality and great hooks!
This New Jersey-based super group effortlessly creates a balancing act between solid, accessible arrangements and song structures with highly
technical, challenging instrumental work and unbelievable melodic vocal harmonies. This embrace of polyphonic lead vocals, combined with their classical-sometimes even Queen-like- choruses create a powerful, in-your-face mixture. With elements of thundering metal, rock, solos with unstoppable guitar shredding and intense keyboards - this potent group has grown with every release and is poised to compete with the commercial success of top groups in all genres! Symphony X is currently creating their next masterpiece, anticipated in the spring of 2010!"
