New Jersey, USA-based Symphony X has released their 9th studio album entitled Underworld, which is topically influenced by the literary masterpiece: Dante’s Inferno. This album is one of those albums where there’s plenty going on behind already good songs. Notes and sounds, peaks and valleys, energy and melody are all strategically written and carefully placed within each of the tracks of Underworld.

It’s an “odd” album because at first blush the songs sound awesome and are attention-getting. However, upon listening again and again, you pick up more and more underneath the surface, making for a truly great Progressive Metal album.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
