Symphony X - Sign With Nuclear Blast
Official press release

Written by Daggon on 13.11.2009 at 03:10 Seriously, that's what it seems like. Every time I check this site, there's a featured article about someone signing to Nuclear Blast. There have been at least 10 within the last couple of weeks.

It will be interesting to see what kind of change this could bring to their sound. Although I don't know, if the album comes out in spring '10, the label change is probably irrelevant for this release...right?

Written by bard on 13.11.2009 at 04:25 Meh, I've yet to see any band change their sound after signing with Nuclear Blast. Seems like they just get bands who are already successful and let them do their own thing, but with more funding and tours. Does anyone know what label SX were with before this?

Written by insanity.peppers on 13.11.2009 at 05:07 As far As I know they were singed with Inside Out - those who bring us Ayreon and Evergrey. Personally - I think this move was right on time - after establishing themselves as a dominant, yet somewhat underground, force in the prog scene now they can break out even more with the support of NB - seriously, if a a bunch of ametures like Deathstars can break out and get millions of watches in their idiotic video clips on Youtube, imagine the possibilities of a band like SX! I would tend to agree with the person who said before me that their sound will not change, but my guess would be that now they might even have a better production on their hands, not to mention finally the anknowledgement they deserve in the worldwide metal scene!

New album on the horizon, I don't care about which label they're in as long as their albums are good. I hope it's good.

I just wet myself and how. One of the few bands who continually put out masterpiece after masterpiece. They seriously need to drop a kick ass DVD soon!

Maybe this will mean cheaper Symphony X albums? Hopefully!  Great with a new album too!

Written by lemuria19 on 13.11.2009 at 06:44 Well... north-north Jersey isn't that much different from New York, at least from a visitor's point of view, but I still understand confusion over the error. But technicalities aside, I am pumped to hear what is coming next year...

Written by Baz Anderson on 14.11.2009 at 02:20 Haha, I bet you do! I was quite surprised by these news actually. I would've never thought that Symphony X is the kind of band Nuclear Blast had their eye on.

I will soon be able to say "R.I.P Symphony X". Sign with a major label and things are bound to change for the worst. I of course hope this isn't the case but I have my doubts. R.I.P Symphony X until further notice.

Written by Devilspeed on 15.11.2009 at 00:17 Signing with a major label didn't hurt Riverside... too bad that label was InsideOut (right before Second Life Syndrome), which is who Symphony X is leaving
