Progressive metal outfit, Symphony X is continuing work on 'Paradise Lost', set to be released before the end of the year. The following statement has been posted via the group's website:

"It would appear that one of the early drafts of the cd cover has been leaked to at least one website; the band hasn't had a chance to okay any final artwork, so what you see floating around out there is NOT the final cd cover art.

Jason is done recording his parts, and the rhythm tracks and other guitar parts should be done by next week. The band's aiming to have the music ready for mixing by mid September; MJR says that things are moving right along, and kept our conversation short so that he could get back to it.

More news when there's more to share..."

In other news, Symphony X was obliged to cancel many European festival appearances suit of their bassist's health.
