Subject: Symphony X Unveil New Single 'Nevermore' Wed May 27, 2015 6:15 pm
Prog metal champs Symphony X have presented "Nevermore" as the lead single from their upcoming new album "Underworld."
As reported, the group's ninth studio effort will be released on July 24 via Nuclear Blast Records as a follow-up to 2011's "Iconoclast." Pre-orders are available here.
Bassist Michael LePond previously noted that the album will be "as heavy as the last one," pointing out that "our old fans are really gonna appreciate this one."
Guitarist Michael Romeo now stated: "Musically, 'Underworld' has things reminiscent of the bands previous albums but this one definitely has its own individuality. Every element added was in service of the song, so the album flows and becomes a total listening experience from start to finish."
He continued, "Every song is to the point and fine-tuned, with us paying a lot of attention to the hooks, voices, riffs, and keeping the interest and the energy high for the entire record. It is heavy and aggressive as f--k when it needs to be, yet soaring and emotional at other times. I think the balance is just right. It had to have all the elements of what we normally would do, just tweaked up a notch and really fine-tuned."
