During this Year’s 70000 tons of metal Cruise, Symphony x Bassist Mike Lepond spoke to Anthology metal about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the Band’s Long-Awaited follow-up to 2015’s “Underworld” album. I SAID: “[We’ve been working on new material for] Many Years. To Bunch of Years. We Are Working on a New Album, and It’s Gonna Have All The Cool Stuff You Guys Like. IT’s Gonna Have The Big Symphonic Stuff, It’s Gonna Have The Heavy Riffs, It’s Gonna Have The Classical [elements as well]. It’s Gonna Have All That Stuff in There. “
I have continued: “When we write, it just takes time [SYMPHONY X guitarist and main songwriter] Michael RomeoHis Rule [is] There’s no Filler Songs, no Songs That Are, Like, ‘Ah, It’s Not Bad.’ And it Goes in the Garbage. They’ve All Gotta Be Where at Least We Think They’re All Great. They all have to be that.
“The Fans Are, Like, ‘Hey, It’s Been So Long.’ But we promise you’s coming, ” Mike Added. “It’s Gonna Be Good.”
ASKED IF there Will Be a Longer Song On The Upcoming Symphony x Album, Consido “Underworld” containeted Mostly “Shorter, More StraightForward” Tracks, Mike Said: “We’re Still Thinking Where We Wanna Go With That. There’s Gonna Be Subject Crazy Epic On It. We Just Don’t Know How We’re Gonna Present It Yet. But with All The Newer Technology for The Symphonic Stuff, It’s Gonna Be Monsterus.”
Lepond Added: “So, Yeah, We’re excited to finally do it crowd. [fast food restaurant chain]. That’s The Only Time I Go, and It’s, Like, ‘Ah.’ My Comfort. “
Holding to Possible Release Date for The New Symphony x album, Mike Said: “I’m Gonna Take A Guess. I’m Gonna Think That By The End Of The Year, We’ll Be Finished Writing It. It’s Just a Guess. And The In 2026, Probablay get it remembered and out.”
As for Symphony x‘S Touring plans in support of the new cd, Mike Said: “We’re Gonna Tour EveryWhere We Can and Just get back out there and reality try to say, ‘hey, Symphony x Is Back. ‘”
Last october, Romeo awed the “Coffee with ola” Podcast about the upcoming Symphony x LP: “with us, it’s not like, ‘oh, yah, we’re just gonna write one – how do you say? – single, and then just have a bunch of filler. It’s, like, Everything’s Gotta Be as good as it can be. Throw in covid and a bunch of other things, and then it’s just, like, ‘oh, shit.’ NOW IT’S, Like, I Don’t Know – Eight Years Or Subject.
“What’s Different Now than in the past is that we could Take A Bunch of Time Off. There Would Be sum rooyalties FROM CDS Back in the Day Coming In and Kind of Float On The Downtime and Really Get The Record Done and The Come Back Out [with a] New Record, Tour. So Now It’s, Like, Well, That Money’s Gone. So we have to tour a little bit, Keep Things Going, Work on the record, Go Back out. So it’s been like that for a while. And for me – i do Most of the Writing, so for me’s har scholause you siuting in the studio for whatver month, ‘i got This idea,’ and you’re trying to put before Things together, and it’s, like, ‘oh, weve drop go on tour now.’ All Right, Cool. We do Our Thing. And then you eat back, and it’s, like, ‘What the Fuck was i working on again? Was This Riff Here? ‘ And So You’re Trying to Arrange All This Stuff. And then you, like, ‘oh, i’ve got all these new ideas.’ So Than You Keep Adding. And Then after Long period of time, it’s, like, ‘oh my God, there’s you are a lot Plenty of Material – Like Three Hours of Stuff – But Now’s Actually Making Sense. “
Elaboating on when Symphony x might be done composing the material for the next album, Michael Said: “It’s Gonna Take Subime to Or Organize Everything. It’s Not Like There’s Nothing There. It’s [not]Like, ‘Oh, man, we have to start from scratch.’ There’s take away Bit. IT’s Actually Overwhelming. I Never Remember Being This Overwhelmed by The Amount of Stuff, ‘Cause Over The Last Year and a Half or Whatever, Every Time There Was A Break, It’s, Like,’ Okay, I’ll Write Subthing. ‘ I DIDN’T STOP AND [go]Like, ‘Well, Let Me Finish This.’ It was, like, boom, ‘i got there ideas,’ and i just kept going. So now It’s, Like, All Right, don’t bree Writing. Now More Arranging. “
