Without being a concept album, Symphony X’s new album, Iconoclast, deals with the interaction between man and machine – or rather, with the fight between man and machine. “Nothing original here”, is probably what you’d tell Michael Romeo if you could, you big-mouthed metalheads. And the guitarist would answer very simply: “It’s probably really tough to find anything that hasn’t been done. But we’ll do it our own way. We just tried to find something that would allow us to push the music somewhere where we haven’t really been before.” There’s no hidden message or particular intention behind the music; there’s only spontaneity, a desire to make cool music with cool lyrics.
Music seems to be the band’s only real concern. In other words, these guys don’t care about what might be at stake when it comes to releasing a single or double album, and won’t communicate on anything that doesn’t pertain to their work. And this music is something Michael and his pals cannot write while on tour or when they go back to their families to recharge their batteries, which is why they’d rather take their time to compose an album.
