  • who did the artwork for the album....its really good

  • DAT BENDS! 2:35

  • @SuperBattlefieldGuy YES!! My single favourite moment on the whole record. I can't listen to this song without rewinding a couple of times whenever that part comes in :D

  • Only 140K views???

  • 21 people are Nicki Minaj fans.

  • What went wrong, where have all the keyboards gone?

  • @jakethesnake854 There's actually more keys on this album than there was on Paradise Lost. Nothing compared to Odyssey and those that came before it. Less emphasis on the classical elements, though they are clearly still there. SyX is heavy as shit now, but honestly the formula has not changed much at all. Romeo, Rullo, and Allen dominate the mix. They're still the best at what they do, and have plenty of copycats, I just don't find it all that interesting anymore.

  • These guys make up my life.

  • Just turn the volume up and realize how awesome Russel and Romeo are ^^

  • I read on another forum that the vocals are like Dio on steroids. Ronnie James was the dog's bollocks and I reckon Symphony X tops it. I reckon this new album is better than anything that DT have put out. OK, maybe not, but it's f*****g close. Big respect lads. Excellent stuff.

  • i love symphony x

    

  • fucking excelent song!!!

  • why is symphony x so good?

  • @maidenrules13 some talent and practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice

  • fucking seriously bad ass. making me want to punch babies... know what I mean?

  • Great guitar solo ! Great song !

    I love it ! Awesome Guys :)

  • ololol, most of the pictures are like "RUSSELL ALLEN... and some other guys."

    Oh, and "Yarr de harr harr!" at 2:51

  • I'd like to hear the reasons some people dislike this song, personally I love it. The riff is agressive and the chorus is pretty catchy, well just my opinion.

  • @metalheart80s The only thing I like about this song is because of the bridge, strange, I know. I would like hoping they would stop being, as they called it, "heavy" - never like their newer sound somehow.

  • @metalheart80s this is a great tune who knows why some people are just retarded this band crushes!! seen em 4 times live now and they always blow the place up. smoke

    &mirrors and inferno are a couple jammers from them!!

  • Album is good, this song is terrible.

  • so strong !

  • I'll be there for the Salt Lake show with Iced Earth in February! I can't wait.

  • SYMPHONY X FOR BLOODSTOCK!!!!!!!!

    

  • YES THIS ROCKS SO FUCKING HARD

  • 21 People are Dehumanized!!

  • Comment removed

  • The Jonas Brothers made 21 accounts and disliked this.

  • wtf?

    

  • It seems like Romeo has gone "F*** it, im a badass guitar player and im just gonna go nuts", theres alot more guitar work on this album than the others I think, sounds awsome,

  • @Sxrule Huh? Romeo has always been a badass and Symphony X albums have always had a ton of great guitar work from him.

  • @deadenddude Yeah I knowe his guitar work is always killer, but I think the new sound is a bit more in your face, the playing and sound just sound a whole lot bigger and more aggressive!

  • they smash portugal!!!

  • 21 people listen to justin f....ing bieber

  • ears ejaculating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sounds like Romeo has finally purchased a decent guitar/amp. His sound has gotten considerably better on this album!

  • @ScienceFictionHairdo absolutely, romeo's tone is so much better on this album.

  • no words  ¡¡¡¡

  • going to concert tomorrow :)

  • we demand a symphony x live DVD!!!!! please!!!!

  • Anyone that listen to this songs, feels dehumanized after, so fucking intense.

  • @funkjaw as said by the guy showing his tits on the yt....

  • great song, great band \m/

  • great band, great cd but this video sucks balls.

  • DISTURBED'S dehumanized brought me

  • @lbol1 same thing

  • Why should I discuss Dream Theater Vs Symphony X when I can enjoy the both sides. I'd say Dream Theater is sometimes a very weird and hard to digest but at the same time pleasant beast, sometimes too calm, sometimes too wild, you never know how strange things get. Symphony X is most of the times an agressive and wild beast, straight to the point, very imposing like in your face, sometimes calm. Both are old school with classic rock influences, one is more Progy Rock the other more Prog Metal

  • Nuclear Blast = Mierda, Shit..

    Symphony X ya no es lo mismo en los tiempos de V, The Divine Wings Of tragedy, damnation game...

    Are not the same!!

  • LIVE SYMPHONY X DVD PLEASE !!!! thumps up

  • @Marioguitar I'm seeing them with Iced Earth this year. :P my first IE show, and these guys are great too.

  • If you really enjoy progressive Technical metal, with TALENT! Hit up "Black Atom Reign"! Amazing band that needs to be heard! Check out the song Screaming From Confinement. and prepare yourself!!! Buy there CD on ITUNES!!

  • in french i can say " c'est du putain de gros pâté de porc "

    SX rulz

  • Jason Rullo Rules!!! :))

  • Russel Allen is not someone I would wanna meet in a dark alley......

  • Sir Russell Allen. The greatest male voice ever.

  • @MrLucassen I like Matt Barlow, but that's my thing. He sounds a lot like this guy, but hits some Halford screams as well.

  • Bad ass song is bad ass.

  • Romeo can play guitar with his ears

  • @a7xsuckcock depends on which band you're talking about, most likely its just rock or classic rock or whatever genre they best fit under. unless of course these bands are STILL ahead of today's music (which wouldnt be that difficult really) then i would still consider it to be progressive. we have enough pointless sub-genres already, i dont think we dont need anymore... side note: LOVE your username

  • I'm pretty sure the uglier the band, the better they are haha

  • @Choomooka Romeo may look a girl, but he slays at guitar.

  • Jason rullo one of the most underrated drummers ever!!!

  • @pazzo83 yeah2..but i like the way he plays his drum..fuckin genius

  • progressive isn't a fucking genre people, it's an attitude you have while writing music. something that's progressive music won't be progressive in the future...

  • Why are there so many "ad" comments on youtube now

  • Russell Allen is such a badass vocalist. I don't give a shit what kind of music you squabbling little twats call it. It just plain badass

  • Hi everybody! If you like this one, visit the Hexenhaus channel on youtube. One of my favourite ProgMetal Bands of the 90s. It's the former band of the King Diamond and Mercyful Fate guitar master Mike Wead. Someone installed the channel, and that's, what they deserve. Thanks for loading it up, man

  • i think the uglier you are, the better you are at guitar =)

  • @scarsunseen24

    I think it's the fatter you are :(

  • @scarsunseen24 ie. Jeff Loomis

  • @scarsunseen24 That is supposed to be funny, how? Gtfo. 

  • @scarsunseen24 Nope. Steve Vai is a beautiful beast.

  • @n30l1nk Amen.

  • @scarsunseen24 rusty cooley is a pretty boy

  • @scarsunseen24

    Then I must be the next fucking Shawn Lane.

  • @AugustinusHipponesis Don't get your hopes up - Nuno Bettencourt is beautiful, thus destroying the theory.

  • @scarsunseen24 I agree, this is why i suck :L

  • @scarsunseen24 romeo isn't ugly, he's just fat

  • @scarsunseen24 Cant you see how Steve Vai is?!?! :P

  • @scarsunseen24 romeo would be ALOT uglier

  • @scarsunseen24 Unless you are Gus G

  • @scarsunseen24 - That means I must be a guitar God! :)

  • @scarsunseen24 unless being nuno bettencourt

  • @scarsunseen24 Mere coincidence, my friend. XD

  • @scarsunseen24 interesting... time to get the lawn mower to rebuild my face :)

  • @scarsunseen24 That explains Orianthi.

  • One of the best guitarists ever?

  • its true people are becoming dehumanised! But dehumanized isnt the right spelling americans the correct way is with an s :P

  • heard them on the radio. heard their new album was titled Iconoclast. Recognized Iconoclast is also the name of a Heaven Shall Burn album. Decided they must be good. and yes, they are.

  • I listened to this whole album here on you tube. Song number 2 and the last are the best imo. I dont think this album however compares to the bands previous efforts - namely wings and oddysey. Those were two very inspired and inspiring albums. The new album is perfect musically, it just doesn't seem very inspired.

  • i thinks this album ist the better that Dream Theaters new album

  • @kamurandeliormnli I think you need to learn how to organize your thoughts before declaring such an idea. Besides, how do you even know what it sounds like yet?

  • @kamurandeliormnli Surely Dream Theater have not released their new album yet?

  • @BinaryPill but they released their songs of new album on the youtube:)

  • @kamurandeliormnli To my knowledge, 'On The Backs of Angels' is the only song released, the others are all fakes

  • Love it!!

  • Damn, this is badass! Gonna have to pick up this album now.

  • C'MON HIT THE SWITCH, YOU SON OF A BITCH

  • Grat inpruve from the "Paradise lost" album

    at least so far I have to lisen all the songs but seems to be good album.

    and why always compare this band whit Dream Theater they are a different type of band in all aspects.

    well the ppl is strange or maybe I am strange.

    Regards.

  • first hearing of the new album and it sounds really good...lets blow some minds!!!!!

  • THE ACCOLADE R.I.P.

  • 1:01

    "Hit the switch, you son of a bitch"

    I fucking heard that xD epic!

    I think they could make a pause after that live >:)

  • Comment removed

  • Symphony X=Metal with prog elements

    Dream Theater=Prog with metal elements

  • @ManowarxManowar

    Luv them BOTH

  • @ManowarxManowar That's why i love both of them

  • @ManowarxManowar

    Progressive Power Metal?

  • @ManowarxManowar

    Whether music is Progressive only has to do with time signature.

    Whether music is Metal only has to do with the sound. Go read some music-theory or shut up.

  • @Culturealimprovement "Whether music is Progressive only has to do with time signature."

    What?! :|

  • @TubeAmp89 Odd numbered time signatures and/or frequent changes.

  • @Culturealimprovement No. That's just ONE of the numerous things you find in progressive music. Lots of extended chords, unusual chord progressions, polyrhythms/polymeters, an unconventional song structure, etc. are the others. The approach to songwriting is very different. THAT is progressive music. Lots of different influences. To say that it has ONLY to do with time signatures is incorrect.

  • @TubeAmp89

    "polyrhythms/polymeters, an unconventional song structure, etc." Thats just results of what i wrote earlier.

    The rest of what you wrote are element you find in much of the progressive music, but it is no what makes i progressive.

  • @Culturealimprovement Okay dude, whatever you say.

  • @Culturealimprovement Are you retarded?

  • @ChuckNorris134 I'm a music teacher. You seem uneducated.

  • @Culturealimprovement Ok dude, if I have a Spanish and Polka influenced song played with a metal foundation, it doesn't matter if it's all in 4/4. That's what you're saying.

  • @ManowarxManowar Symphony X=Neo Classical metal

    Dream Theater=Prog Metal

  • @IVANmoyoimya79 idk about neo classical...they're too heavy :P. closest thing to neo-classical I know is Galneryus. imo

  • @ACrum615 neo classical METAL

  • @IVANmoyoimya79 lol of course it's metal. I didnt mean neo classical country....-_-

  • @ManowarxManowar dead on

  • @ManowarxManowar I'd say that describes Porcupine Tree more than Dream Theater.

  • @thefateshavewarned: Dream Theater is like a bipolar bitch who feels excited when everyone else is trying to be serious, and feels depressed precisely when everyone else is trying to have fun. Their songwriting is too weak to be a good prog band, and their sound is too gay to be a good metal band. They desperately need a real producer who is not a band member. (Despite this rant, I must admit that, at their best, DT is very pleasing to listen to.)

  • @thefateshavewarned Agreed.

  • poor

  • he has epic pics

  • russel lol

  • WTF?? this is TOO much amazing Michael Romeo must be an angel, or at leat, must have angel's hands!!!!!!

  • @alevd14 The devils hands...

  • DT ans SX tour would be awesome!

  • Didn't even know these guys released a new album until yesterday. Needless to say, I flipped my lip. Now, I'm just headbanging \o/

  • I was not the biggest fan of their last album, Paradise Lost, but holy shit! This album so far is damn amazing! Still doesn't beat "the Odyssey " though. :P

  • HOLY SHIT! Symphony X delivers again!

  • i bet some of the people that don't like the new direction of SX probably said during their older albums "i wish they'd do something a little more intense and expand". this is a very good new direction and now we all have the pleasure to listen a whole evolution of Symphony X. bands that have the EXACT same sound for 15+ years get a little tedious

  • This song kicks so much ass.

  • @wsullivan86 At least you agree that SX has changed their direction a little bit. Regarding your argument "Lack of melodic expedition doesn't automatically equate to lower quality", I completly agree with you. My last comment was unfortunate. In the end, it is just a matter of taste. I prefer melodic prog metal albums with a few heavier songs (like V and Odyssey albums) than heavier prog metal albums with some melodic parts.

  • @fbdt you two have managed to have one of the few intelligent discussions about music i've ever seen on youtube. congrats, you've shown me there is still hope for humanity LOL

  • @berserker213 It is true what you said! Unfortunately, there is a lack of tolerance in Youtube user's comments. They are concerned only with their own taste and opinion, believing that everyone else should agree with them. Cheers!

  • un pouce en l'air pour tout les français fan de symphony x en voyant le tee shirt de russel allen à 6.04 :)

  • DT and SX are both great bands. They are not in their prime, but they both are extremely talented and write great music. These bands shouldn't be compared. I enjoyed Iconoclast and I am looking forward to the new DT.

  • I've always liked SX, but I really love this new metal direction they've taken.

  • Lame lyrics...

  • They take some silly pictures

  • I dont know... i think i like the song but it wasn't entirely what i had hoped for.

    It's still good but just different

  • Comment removed

  • I listened to the new song of dream theater and is a shit!!!!

    Dream theater is dead, Symphony X is alive!!!!

  • @galaa241 I so pity you ignorant moron. I love SX but this new Iconoclast fucking sucks lol (except for 2 or 3 songs including the song Iconoclast itself is good) its the same shit repeating over and over in every song. No wonder DT kicks these guys ass in every Album xD

  • @MaximumPayne12 This new album is indeed a let down.

  • @MaximumPayne12 Dream theater writes the same stuff, DT died on Black clouds and Silver Linings

  • I like more the "new" sound... I'm not such a big fan of neoclassical style, and I prefer MR's riffs to MR's sweeps... Maybe that's for this reason I LOVE The divine wings of tragedy and Paradise Lost more than other albums...

    I've bought Iconoclast, and I've found it the natural next step after Paradise Lost... So: I love it :D

  • New album, those fags are seekin' the most popular videos and BANG! they destroy your wallet I HAVE TO BUY THIS FUCKIN ALBUM <3

  • Why there is not Iconoclast the song in whole youtube :O

  • This album confirms my worst fears - that Symphony X are continuing to develop the sound they established on Paradise Lost. But I have decided to approach them almost as a different band. Lately, I've been playing Paradise Lost again and it's really grown on me. I might be able to get into this album. Good lord, do I want to - It's Symphony X after all.

  • always been a fan of this band. this album is fucking great. from a drum angle, jason rullo is one of the most underrated prog drummers ever. anyway great song and album.

  • Youtube please... Insert "Auto-Restart" button thanks!

  • We have all become Dehumanized hearing this song.

  • Coming from a thrash metal background as opposed to prog, I gotta say this album is a dream come true for me. A fucking dream come true. Show me something better in the past two years, I dare you.

  • Hit the switch, you SON OF A BITCH.

    LMFAO, when I heard this for the first time, I laughed so hard, cause I wasn't expecting to hear something like that coming from Russell Allen, ever :P

  • Guys, my advice is to buy this awesome album.

    This song is not the best, but the rest of the album (especially in the special edition) is fucking amazing! ;)

    \m/

  • meh

    song is so boring

    symphony x is so predictable in their song writing

    thats all good if you like convention and banality. if you like prog stick with Adagio and Circus Maximus. ohhhh and Seventh Wonder. symphony x big let down. and this is coming from a fan since damnation game

  • @Utubesuxmycock Whatever you think.
