New Jersey prog-metal stalwarts Symphony X return with PARADISE LOST, their first outing since 2002's THE ODYSSEY. Their literary aspirations remain intact--the album is inspired by the John Milton epic poem of the same name--and per usual, Michael Romeo's Byzantine tablature and Russell Allen's vocals are the main attractions. Throughout PARADISE LOST the band fantasizes that all '80s thrash and '90s doom metal did not happen, and that they are picking up right where Randy Rhodes and Yngwie Malmsteem left off in the early 1980s. In their vision, technical dexterity and neo-classicism--note the inclusion of a string section and piano balladry--trump mathy angst, satanic sludge, and stoner riffage.
