A progressive metal band from New Jersey, Symphony
X includes members Michael
Romeo (guitars),
Russell Allen (vocals), Michael Pinnella (keyboards), Jason Rullo (drums), and Michael LePond (bass). The band officially has more members named Michael than any other in history. They draw from a wide range of influences — everything from Bach and Mozart to Kiss and Yngwie Malmsteen — and their songs deal mostly with ancient history and mythology. Each member boasts exceptional skill, most notably
Romeo and Allen (guitars and vocals, respectively).
I loved Symphony X's "Divine
Wings of Tragedy" album! Michael
Romeo makes Yngwie look like Jack
White!
