Symphony X
V CD (2000)
Michael Lepond music CDs
 $12.79   
Some of the music and themes here are all too familiar, as is Russell Allen's macho vocal style. That has proved to be both a blessing and a curse for this gifted guitarist. Perhaps no other guitarists in the metal genre has been as influenced by Yngwie Malmsteen as Symphony X leader Michael Romeo. This is not meant to imply that the music here is not admirable, in fact, there are some remarkable moments that show a maturity in both the band's composing and playing. Therein lies the problem with this recording and, for that matter, most of the post-Malmsteen shredders. His chops are certainly comparable, but his sound and style are often identical to his idol. Domestic Debut;Prog.Metal From New Jersey
Symphony X: Russell Allen (vocals); Michael Romeo (guitar); Michael Pinnella (keyboards); Michael Lepond (bass); Jason Rullo (drums). As a whole, V: The New Mythology Suite works and proves that Symphony X has chosen to expand, rather than repeat, history in a genre that appeared to have peaked both creatively and technically. The session's most interesting moment comes during the "Communion and the Oracle," a selection that finds the band introducing a less heavy, more harmonically intriguing sound.

Symphony X
The Odyssey CD (2002) Limited Edition
Michael Lepond CD discography
$15.05
And that old-school perspective remains on The Odyssey, which is a 2002 release but recalls the classic fantasy metal of '80s favorites like Queensr˙che, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ronnie James Dio, and Iron Maiden. Symphony X is certainly an anomaly: an '80s-style fantasy metal band who came along in 1994 (after Nirvana and Pearl Jam's success had seriously rearranged the rock landscape) and ended up acquiring a loyal Gen-X following (especially in Europe). In the '90s and 2000s -- a time when other young headbanger bands have embraced alternative metal and been influenced by punk, rap, and/or industrial -- Symphony X has maintained an unapologetically old-school outlook. Includes liner notes by Symphony X. Symphony X: Russell Allen (vocals); Michael Romeo (acoustic & electric guitars, programming); Mike Pinnella (piano, keyboards); Michael Lepond (bass); Jason Rullo (drums). LTD.Ed.Digibook W/Extensive Booklet & A Bonus Track
Symphony X: Russell Allen (vocals); Michael Romeo (acoustic & electric guitars, programming); Mike Pinnell (piano, keyboards); Michael Lepond (bass); Jason Rullo (drums).
