      @@josephpliler392 Russell Allen is one of the best voices in the entire genre, period. He has been asked as lead singer for one of the big metalbands, I don't know anymore if it was Iron Maiden, Sabaton or Megadeth, but one of these bands wanted him. He turned them down tho, didn't wanna leave SX. Being wanted by such a huge band is a sign of his voice-mastery, and being able to turn them down is proof of strong character. This man is a fcking legend if there ever was one.

    The higher notes on guitar solo are reached with a whammy pedal. It takes the note and pressing the pedal you can switch it to a few octaves higher.

      No, that's incorrect, what actually happens is that the guitar is so terrified when Romeo picks it up that it plays any note he wants, even if it shouldn't be able to be played.

    Glad you fell in love with this great band. Less-known than Dream Theater, but imo at least as good and at least as impactful on the prog-metal genre. Every musician should know of SX. Other great songs to react to are Walls of Babylon, To Hell and Back, When All is Lost, The Odyssey, The Divine Wings of Tragedy. The first three are more like this song, the last 2 are two of their older epics.

    Regarding the guitar/synth solo around 10:19, guitarist Michael Romeo uses a pitch pedal in some of his solos, so it is indeed a guitar playing a note a guitar can't really play, followed by a keyboard solo.

  • @RobertDoomsdayVasquez

    • @TFOLLT
      @TFOLLT Před 3 lety +2

      I know it's an unpopular preference, but tho I accept that Iconoclast as album is not their best, the individual songs Iconoclast, When all is Lost, and Reign of Madness are imo up there amongst their best epics. The epics of Iconoclast are actually my favorite of the entire SX catalogue.

    • @b.k.4954

      Revisit it. I agree that on the first, or even second and third listens, it can seem relentless. But put it on, turn out the lights, let it run all the way through, and really *listen* to the subtleties. It really starts to shine, and is far more emotional than the heaviness suggests. It is clearly their *heaviest* album, and that gives their catalogue a nice contrast to their proggier stuff. You will also be surprised by how large a part Pinnella's keys play in the album, when on first listen you might think it is all about the guitar. "When all is lost" is also one of the best songs they have ever done, on any album.

      For me, as a fan of really heavy shit, Iconoclast is their best album. I'm not a fan of this neoclassical sound they used to have.
      Also the last album is little boring.
      "War of the worlds part 1" by Michael Romeo is an awesome album. Heavy and prog, just the way I like my music.
      Give it a chance guys. It's like a Iconoclast part 2.
