It only takes a few moments until the band DGM is named and the bow to Symphony X is made. "Of course we were proud that their guitarist Michael Romeo played the lead guitar for our new song 'Dogma'", DGM bassist Andrea Arcangeli makes clear. But especially with their meanwhile eighth album "The Passage" the Italian band certainly doesn't bake small rolls anymore. Symphony X are certainly still a great influence, but the songs of guitarist and band boss Simone Mularoni are often very genre-typical, but they can certainly compete with the best tracks of Romero's New Jersey group.
Slowly but surely they have developed into a serious progmetal band. For the first time they really let you listen with their album "The Frame" (2009). Also the following live work "Synthesis" could keep the interest of the Symphony-X-affine Progmetal fans awake.
