treeduck Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 SYMPHONY X bassist Mike LePond was asked in a new interview with Metal Nation if there are any plans for him and his bandmates to begin writing material for the follow-up to their 2015 album "Underworld". He responded (see video below): "Well, what we decided is as soon as the virus thing kind of slows down a little bit, we're gonna get together and write a new record. We've told [our record label] Nuclear Blast that we're ready to start writing, so they know. So the wheels are gonna start, I would say, within about a month or so."

Rod in Toronto Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Between this stage and the actual album release, Underworld took almost a year. I'm excited, but when it comes to Symphony X, I learned how to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphony X have released just four albums in the last 20 years. That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if some bands just went into the studio and jammed something out in like a week they would be surprised how good of an album they could have by just getting it done and not second guessing everything. Dream Theater locked themselves away for a few weeks to get their last album done and look how good that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's not so much time in the studio recording or writing it's that they're too busy touring or doing other projects, especially Russell Allen. When they get in the studio to record it probably doesn't take that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched the documentary on Amazon Prime tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Symphony Zzzzzz They would have been MUCH bigger if they had a more consistent output. Michael Romeo likes to do things at his own pace. Also, it's a crime that a band of this caliber doesn't have a live DVD release, even this late in their career. I would be seeing them live next week if it wasn't for the coronavirus...
