By Gonzalo Pozo "Over nearly 20 years, the New Jersey quintet Symphony X has been churning out a unique brand of music that seamlessly blends the relentless fury of Pantera with the progressive prowess of Dream Theater and the Bach rock of Yngwie Malmsteen. Comprised of a classically-trained pianist, a jazz drummer, a shred-metal guitar hero, a singer who sounds like Ronnie James Dio without the “look outs!” and a bassist who can’t read music, this quaint little ensemble will decimate Backstage Live to pump up its fans for the midsummer release of their new CD, Iconoclast."
