Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy album
The album's title track contains excerpts from Johann Sebastian Bach's Mass in B Minor (1749) and Gustav Holst's The Planets (1914–16).
But with their third outing, The Divine Wings of Tragedy, they would rewrite prog metal history as we know it. Was it the introduction of Mr. Allen on vocals" No, he'd been around for the Damnation Game. Was it Michael Romeo's guitar pyrotechnics" No, many prog metal bands are renowned for their guitarists' virtuoso skills, that's nothing new in these metal regions. Of Sins and Shadows contains some double-bass-o-rific percussionwork, and Rullo punishes his kit throughout the album, occasionally freaking out for some nice crazy jazz-influenced fill or an extra dose of punch and power with some more swift kicking of the bass. Lyrically the band comes straight out of the kind of Dungeons and Dragons type of thing, drawing heavily on literature and mythology for their lyrics.
