I can't believe you're the same kid who won Junior Eurovision 2003. Congrats on growing up to be an absolute chad. And what a powerful voice! Consider me excited to follow your career, Dino!!
I sadly disagree... Don't get me wrong Dino is one of the best singers there is. But I always get the feeling his influences are too dominant. Concerning this new album I'd rather hear his former singer Rick Castellano... But I think that is a matter of taste....
@@macblade7247 Rick did a great job, but dude seriously, listen to this track again, you wanna say he is channeling his influences, fine, but his influences are apparently the best singers in metal, I'll take that every day of the week, and I look at this as a 2 part epic, so play them together and you get the best of both worlds
@@kamikazekrush3758 I perfectly understand you. And I I know exactly what you mean. But I think Castellano did something fresh and pronounced a voice not yet heard. Where Dino let us hear a voice already done. Again don't get me wrong, I think it is a great song and I will defenately set this upcoming album on repeat. I think it is a matter of taste.
@@macblade7247 OK, I understand you as well, Rick was a different type voice, the last track on the first CD "Constellations" really showed how good he was, it's one of my favorite Romeo tracks period, hopefully Rick will be heard more in the future, heck maybe Romeo will do a part 3 with this band and use Rick and Dino both? Lots of bands do the multiple vocalist thing nowdays
Can we take a moment to appreciate Romeo's skills as a producer and arranger? Most of the time we are in awe of his skills as a guitar player and songwriter, but his mixing style is severely underrated.
@@Xsymph His solo tone has always been amazing, especially in TDWOT. His riff sound on that album was also fantastic. The guitar sound in The Odyssey proved how superb his technique is. Making such a scooped tone still sound clean and defined.
In the absence of a new album from Symphony X or even any news about it, this is a piece of fresh air. Really cool vocals (reminds me a lot to Allen's) catchy riffs and melodies. Eager to listen to more.
@@brunodargor Funny, you're right. Just listened to End of Everything... he definitely sounds "younger"? or less graveley... But I absolutely love that album, super metally and bluesy.... Enter Escape for those that aren't familiar
@@Metalton95 those are all great recommendations if you're starving for music similar to Symphony X. Big fan of all of these bands and the neo-classical metal sound \m/
@@KinkyNothing hahahaha when I first heard him I swear that I was surprised with the level thar Lande reached, but then I realized it was not him. It was on Feed Your Fire, by Karl Magnussen
OMG, what is this song??? starting the year with this single, is so fucking amazing....Dino's voice is powerfull and Romeo there's no need explanation, genius!!!
I don't know what 2022 has in store for us metal-wise, but this album with Mr Romeo and Mr Jelusick is going to be definitely among the very best releases of the year. It all sounds insanely good. Can´t wait to listen to the rest!!
It's John, this album and the previous one were recorded together. What a caterpillar. Yes the sound feels like Jason but I think it's a precise choice of mixing
Pretty much in the line of the 1st part, which is bloody good news: killer riffs and a strong sense of melody coupled with a kick ass voice! Loved the 1st one and this is looking promising!
A welcome surprise this morning. Romeo sounds inspired here, even his riffs are starting to sound like mini solos. Dude is on a whole different level. Dino sounds great on vocals, that solo was sick and the brief orchestration at the end of this has me patiently waiting for more.
I hope Michael will do some more tutorial vid's when he has time because he's obviously the Prog Metal King of this Era along with Petrucci. I had the pleasure to meet Mike at a meet and greet and he is such a nice guy, giving every fan, not just me, the time to talk about things... What a legend hero for his fans!!! He is a legend guitarist of our time and ambassador of the craft, thank you Michael Romeo for being a super awesome guy!!!
One of my all-time, ultimate fave, guitar heroes, Master Michael Romeo! Just preordered, can’t wait for the album drop. Ladies and Gents, please support one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk on earth. Much love and respect to MR! 🔥🎸❤️💯
the part I was a bombfor my ears, i heard it thousands of times, can't wait for the part II, tbh i prefer that musical way rather than the 2 last SX albums
@@brunodargor Simple, they always release a single every month. If a single is released at the beginning of the month, the next one will be released in the same way. Most of the time they always release 1 single three months prior to launch.
Man, I've been waiting for this album since War of the Worlds Pt.1 which is 4 years now. I do have to strongly point out that I absolutely adored Rick, and mind you, not from the start. I slowly but fimly grew up into his representation and embraced the fact this is arguably the best piece of music released in last few years. Now, learning that a fellow Croat made it into this one, and straight up wrote history by making it into the absolute elite of rock musicianship, and making a legend to his name made me feel so proud, man, and that's something I haven't felt in a very, very long time, my friend.
His voice sounds great. However, his performance in Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall - "Hold Your Fire" was just beyond awesome. It sounds like a perfect mix between Russell Allen and Jorn Lande. I hope he comes back for another album with Romeo though.
Man, I hope he tours with this. I totally want to see this live. I missed Symphony X the last time they played in MA and I have been kicking myself ever since. This is really killer stuff.
Thank you master Romeo, for this masterpiece of a single in collaborating with Dino -- keeping up the momentum from part 1, can't wait for the full album to drop!!
Extraordinario sonido, ejecución. ¡Qué tema más emocionante, hermoso! No sé... las palabras sobran, ¡a disfrutar! ¡Gracias Michael Romeo por tu impresionante talento!
Its really an awesome video and song. I wish I had the guitar mastery to be able to play this song even at quarter speed. Its a very good melodie, awesome riffs, congratulation for this masterpiece.
Damn good Michael's tracks never gets old. Superb music and that Star Wars inspired orchestral in the closing of the song... so goood. The Jedi Order approves 👌
Holy shit thoose sweeps are tasty, follows the big chorus perfectly, i´ve been a MR fan for over 25 years, and this is one of his coolest compositions yet. Great work as usual from one of our times greaters composer and virtuosos!
I’m still waiting the concert in Toronto since 2020 😅 I still have my ticket… I hope to see Symphony X play at least once in this short thing called life
Proud to be a part of this. Wait till you hear the rest. 🤘
Must be so much fun to sing Romeo's songs... he gets the best of everyone
Dino, the singing, Guitar, Bass and the Drumming all sound AWESOME!!! I'm skipping work on March 25!
I can't believe you're the same kid who won Junior Eurovision 2003. Congrats on growing up to be an absolute chad. And what a powerful voice!
Consider me excited to follow your career, Dino!!
Amazing Dino!
Can we recognize your melodies here? Any keys here?
dude those arpeggios are so fucking clean wtf
Mindblowing for sure. The whole album is incredible. Just. Fukng. Incredible.
Romeo and Dino.......Best metal duo at this moment !!!!!!!!!!....
Dino may have the best decision Romeo has made. He sounds fucking incredible and fits Romeo’s style as good as anything I have heard

For sure! it's 10/10
Also his guitar tone is Unique and amazing since the Divine wings era
I honestly find the drum mix pretty underwhelming, at this point. Despite the similar sound, it lacks a bit of the "oompf" of Iconoclast imo.
@@Xsymph His solo tone has always been amazing, especially in TDWOT. His riff sound on that album was also fantastic.
The guitar sound in The Odyssey proved how superb his technique is. Making such a scooped tone still sound clean and defined.
I think his last albums are mixed by the amazing Simone Mularoni guitarplayer and producer of DGM.
@@alberthouwaart wait really? That explains a lot tbh
Hi. I clicked for the New Vegas Ranger helmet and stayed for this awesome music
In the absence of a new album from Symphony X or even any news about it, this is a piece of fresh air. Really cool vocals (reminds me a lot to Allen's) catchy riffs and melodies. Eager to listen to more.
I could have sworn that this was Russel Allen. Had to look it up to convince myself otherwise....
Dino is Awesome
@@95MckFan I clearly see it now. Outstanding vocalist.
This guy to me sounds like Russell Allen mixed with Ronnie James Dio, fantastic choice
Agreed
Romeo is unreal!
My metal dream come true
Michael Romeo with Dino jelusik.
I have been hearing this song, at least 100 times.
🤩🤩🤩
Amazing decision to have Dino Jelusick singing on the album. He nailed it!
I freaking love The Ralph!!!
@@justaguy6837 He sings in a pretty different way on The Ralph haha I prefer him on Animal Drive!

@@justaguy6837 Listen to him on Dirty Shirley. He sounds great as usual
Esse maluco canta demais
Dino Jelusick on vocals. Yeah!!!
Oh yes, finally. I am so miss Romeo's music and hope he put even more his genius in next symphony x album.
There are some guys who's re creating music worthy of comparison with symphony x. Check Eternity Ends
@@JPBotero717 Adamantra, Time Requiem, Noveria, DGM, Kenziner, Myrath and Anthriel too :-)
They are curreny working on it
Listen to Paralydium! Theyre a great band very influenced by SymX!
@@Metalton95 those are all great recommendations if you're starving for music similar to Symphony X. Big fan of all of these bands and the neo-classical metal sound \m/
Finally, there is part two.
Sounds like it's definitely an album to look forward to.
Dino sounds like Russell Allen's younger brother, amazing work!
He sounds more like a Jorn Lande's advanced student, which is nothing but great for me :3
@@VictorTarela I can't unhear this now
@@KinkyNothing hahahaha when I first heard him I swear that I was surprised with the level thar Lande reached, but then I realized it was not him. It was on Feed Your Fire, by Karl Magnussen
Agree 100%
@@VictorTarela - I think you mean Magnus Karlsson.
God what beautiful rifts.
Love the fallout NV gear.
Patrolling the city during an alien invasion almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter. - NCR Ranger, probably.
2:58 takes me to a whole other world!
At 3:10 it kind of repeats but he's doubling up on the notes. THAT takes me to a whole other world as well.
Romeo is monster !
OMG, what is this song??? starting the year with this single, is so fucking amazing....Dino's voice is powerfull and Romeo there's no need explanation, genius!!!
2:31 That Solo is pure Fire 🔥🎸🔥
That's a mashup I wasn't expecting... a properly dressed NCR Ranger under a Michael Romeo song
Best chorus of a song ever ! So powerful !! It is like Michael Romeo wrote this song for Dino. Perfect match !
I don't know what 2022 has in store for us metal-wise, but this album with Mr Romeo and Mr Jelusick is going to be definitely among the very best releases of the year. It all sounds insanely good. Can´t wait to listen to the rest!!
Michael Romeo never ceases to amaze me at how catchy his choruses are, can't wait for the album!
Great drumming by John Macaluso! Sounds awesome!
This chorus... I'm just impressed, speachless... POWERFULL, this is what heavy metal sounds like.
Holy guacamole batman! This was a good 'ol golly great time! Beautiful!
Pure virtous magic! Michael Romeo proves once more that he is one of the greatest guitar players out there!
This is one of the best songs i have ever heard, seriously. I love powerful shit like this.
Ladies and Gentlemen the mighty John Macaluso giving the drums a hard time... As always! KICK-ASS song! Already stuck in my ears!
ARK Burn The Sun is a classic album.
Oh interesting. I assumed it was Jason rullo.
It's John, this album and the previous one were recorded together. What a caterpillar. Yes the sound feels like Jason but I think it's a precise choice of mixing
Majestic masterpieces of contemporary Music, I absolutely agree!!
@@fab5175 You mean this album was recorded like four years ago?
Pretty much in the line of the 1st part, which is bloody good news: killer riffs and a strong sense of melody coupled with a kick ass voice! Loved the 1st one and this is looking promising!

Preorderd this weeks ago. Sounds great. Romeo is the one guy I still get excited for new music.
He is the GOAT of guitarists for me.

Guitar Solo is master piece 🙏❤️

lol he played the solo twice on stereo, what a monster, lmao this is ridiculous of how skilled michael romeo is
Romeo + Jelusick = win!
Fantastic album, i often use this in the gym, never get tired of it, Dino sounds a little like a young David Coverdale, got that bluesey tone

Reeeeeeeally good.
Sounds like a race without a need for a winner.
"Just take a look how beautiful and groovy I can be"

His voice sounds great. However, his performance in Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall - "Hold Your Fire" was just beyond awesome. It sounds like a perfect mix between Russell Allen and Jorn Lande. I hope he comes back for another album with Romeo though.
Hold your fire is when I first heard Dino. I knew something was special as soon as he started singing 🤘🤘
Michael is amazing as always. Singer is a killer!!!!!!
F**KING KILLER TRACK! Michael Romeo does it again! Can't wait to hear the album.
Cómo toca la guitarra es excepcional y una maravilla es único
Michael Romeo= most bombastic riffs and rhythm guitar in metal + neoclassical ultrashred leads
Amazing vocals !!!🤘
Awrsome solo!! 😮
Man, I hope he tours with this. I totally want to see this live. I missed Symphony X the last time they played in MA and I have been kicking myself ever since. This is really killer stuff.
The war of the worlds inspired video....and a touch of H.R.Giger ...Nice song.
Thank you master Romeo, for this masterpiece of a single in collaborating with Dino -- keeping up the momentum from part 1, can't wait for the full album to drop!!
Dino.... Amazing voice...
Dino's singing on this line "eyes of envy watching from afar" is such a display of power. My favourite line!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Super Song.. DINO!!!!
最高すぎる
Killer!!!!
Absolutely LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!
My humble opinion Mr. Romeo is the best rock guitarrist.
I'm glad this exists but Symphony X needs another album ASAP
Can we just take a moment to reflect on the fact that Mr Romeo records DOUBLE takes on each solo... Like one take wasnt impressive enough...
Where is your limit Michael Romeo...only heaven know !!!
Absolutely stunning
