I'd like to add that please don't forget about Fates Warning, one of the early progressive metal bands. Try these: FW- Fata Morgana FW- Nothing Left to Say FW- The Eleventh Hour
Yeah! I get goosebumps every time I hear the chorus. I don't know why but it has something magical to me. Please do the Odyssey and then every other SX Song. They have not one bad song in my opinion
When all is lost, Walls of Babylon, Nevermore etc these are far more cohessive songs that still keep a certain level of tehnicality, Michael Romeo going new level of guitar insanity here, Russel Allen voice aged like wine by this time etc.
Please try The Odyssey (based on homer's Odyssey) by Symphony X if you cover them next! It's imo their best epic song after Divine's Wings of Tragedy (based on paradise lost and paradise regained by Milton). This is my favorite band btw, they are Progressive Symphonic Metal.
The guitarist of the band, Michael Romeo, mixes Neo-classical metal and classical progressions with progressive music which makes for a really unique sound. As you said, the progressive elements are the X factor that make it stick out amongst other symphonic metal, that's why Michael named the band Symphony X.
@@JazzyBassy oohhhhhhhhh okay the name's starting to make sense now. That's pretty cool though, I've always loved the influence that classical music has had on metal.
I have an unusual request. This band creates unique soundscapes with unusual & custom instruments. Its dark and a brilliant composition (sort of ode to the ted.k) * Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - FC: The Freedom Club (Lyrics & desc @ geniusDOTcom) If you want something more melodic/less aggresive, the build up & climax here is brilliant * Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Companions
If you visit this band again, check out Kiss of Fire for a total 180. It's a lot heavier. Lots of sick riffs. Listening to a song like Edge of Forever and Kiss of Fire is a great lapse of their evolving music.
Yes, I watch your videos to the end. Why? BECAUSE YOU SLAY ME, BUDDY. (I pride myself on being both deeply disturbed and deeply disturbing.) The Symphony X number could have been a little more on the metal side and a little less on the prog side for my tastes, but the band is obviously talented. (Respect!) My humble suggestions? Steven Wilson's "Pariah (from Home Invasion: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall)". Steve's voice on this one is great; Ninet Tayeb's voice just wipes me out. And for the Old School types out there, try "Siberian Khatru" by Yes. You'll thank me in the morning.
Ok man. Kinda feel the need to react a bit at your vids. I mean I watched a bunch of them but your picks don't suite me ...mostly... I'm a metalhead (at the core, though I listen to a lot of other stuff), to be more precise more on the extrem-er side. It's your channel man, you react to whatever you want, but I 'd love to see/hear more metal... I mean real metal, not all this friendly stuff (meaning progressive, rock or whatever accessible) or what the trendies call metal (like Metallica, Pantera... Baby Metal... Korn and so on). At some point you asked me for some recommendations regarding the extreme metal. I said then that I'll react to whatever you'll up, but honestly, I don't have to what to react to for this vids don't really appeal to me (which is fine after all). So, if you still want some recs, I'll give you a few new and fresh ones that are more on my side of "music" and I find kinda more..."alive" then what I usually see on your channel: Warpath - Into the Dark; Cattle Decapitation - An Exposition of Insides; Sacrificium Carmen - Kaitselmuksen Tähti; Graveland - Odchodząc w Chwale (not new but the album is re-recorded this year); Deceased - Germ of Distorted Lore; Sigh - Homo Homini Lupus; Fabulous Desaster - The Revenge Of The Mighty Alouatta; Ascension - Ever Staring Eyes; Hate Eternal - Upon Desolate Sands; Scarlet Peace - Tempus. I think everything is out this year (mostly this fall), except for the Graveland. You do whatever you feel like man, take this in account or not, doesen't matter that much. But if you'll go more on this metal path of mine, I'll probably still stick around. Sorry for the long message.
No worries about the long message man, your thoughts are appreciated. And I definitely see where you're coming from, I'm trying to do my best to get a decent balance of crowd favorites and stuff that I'll like, but it has been way too long since I've done something more extreme. I'll take another look at your older suggestions and the ones in this comment and try to do one of the songs this week!
@@JuniioMusic No rush bro. I actually just want to see some more extreme metal (don't have to pick any of my recs. Maybe I'll find some bands that I don't know of. You said some vids ago that you're actually listening to a lot more extreme metal - I think you said black metal mostly - so obviously I'm curious what bands), if you're in for it. If not, no harm done.
@@JuniioMusic You know as your channel will grow, you won't be able take all the recs you're receiving. So the best way I think is still to do your own stuff... not the other way around. L.E.: Sorry for coming back at this but I just found this... and it's just something to behold :D The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu
I love this song so much. most underrated band on the planet.
Yeah, I can't believe that I'd never heard of them until now!
You picked a winner, Symphony X are kings!
I love this song, I love this band. Great reaction
Thanks!
Yes! This is one of my top Symphony X favorite songs. Try these ones:
SX- Of Sins and Shadows
SX- Through the Looking Glass
SX- Awakenings
I'll add them to the list, thanks for the suggestions!
You're gonna absolutely love The Odyssey.
Russell Allen is a vocal god.
try more symphony x or michael romeo (guitar in SX)!!!!
Definitely, you must react to Symphony x - The Odyssey. This is most epic song, when I ever heard :-)
If you like this, please try "Sea of Lies" by Symphony X
Stellar song and one of my favs from SX.
If you like this one you will love The Divine Wings of Tragedy, Candlelight Fantasia and paradise lost
One of my favorite songs of all time.... keep up the SX reactions . I'll sub.
Thanks for the support! And don't worry, I loved this song so much I can't wait to do another!
I'd like to add that please don't forget about Fates Warning, one of the early progressive metal bands. Try these:
FW- Fata Morgana
FW- Nothing Left to Say
FW- The Eleventh Hour
added to the list!

Give the Odyssey by Symphony X a listen next, definitely their magnum opus, would like to hear your thoughts on it

Will do! I'll add it to the list, thanks for the suggestion.
If you like this, try The Cave by Orphaned Land. pretty similar and has a lot of cool scales and signatures.
I'll add it to the list, thanks for the suggestion!
@@JuniioMusic appreciate you reading these. stay awesome.
@@ryans8907 No problem man, I appreciate you. And don't worry, I'm trapped in a perpetual state of awesomeness.
Please man, react to Sons of Winter and Stars (the remastered version at Sonic Pump Studios) by Wintersun ! I think you will love this song
On the to-do list for sure!

haha thanks man, I'm glad you're enjoying the vids! Respect to an OG subscriber for sure.
Between the buried and me - selkies please
Juniio you're a nice man
Dream Theater - The Glass Prison
you should see what he already reacted to before askings a reaction
@@hroj Yeah, I did. Didn't see it.
Despite their name they're Not Symphonic,better than Symphonic
