  1. Lucius Octavion

    Bernd Steidl

    Just wondering if anyone has listened to this guy before besides me. I have his album "Psycho Acoustic Overture" and have no idea if he ever did anything else, but it's a very unique album, and top notch playing. I'd definitely give it a listen if you are into neo-classical guitar playing, Al...

    Video of me playing domination and sea of lies on a fretless bass

    It isn't the best but it's still something I haven't seen anyone do. I also paid my respects to Skelator's "Siege of Gondor" in this video.

    paradise like SX's "old" style

    I've heard a few people mention that Paradise Lost is almost like a sort of return to the old style of symphony X, where V and the Odyssey were kind of like progressive breaks. In a way it's interesting to think of it this way. Certain parts are certainly strikingly similar, in some of the...

    An Essay I wrote about Communion And The Oracle

    I just wrote this essay about Communion And The Oracle for my English class. I'm not sure if everything I wrote is accurate, but I tried putting in some of my interpretations. Its kind of long but let me know what you think! :) “Communion And The Oracle” is a song written and...

    String Quartet arrangement of Dragon's Den

    I'm trying to write In the Dragon's Den for a Quartet of two Violins, viola, and cello. I'm trying to write it one step down from what the song normally is, starting on D instead of E.

    I made my own Symphony X masks

    I made these out of plaster and put it into a mold. They came out with a very "aged" look which is cool. I then coated them with white gesso and painted them with acrylics. Thought you might want to see them. :)

    Top 10 Bassists

    This is just like the top 10 guitarists only now it's bass players for whoever said guitarists were overrated. Again my list is probably different than most people. Take a look and tell me if you heard of some of the other ones. In no particular order 1. Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse...

    Amazing two hand tapping on guitar.

    This is one of the most amazing two hand tapping I've seen on guitar. This is Enver Izmailov from Uzbekistan playing in 2006. He plays this kind of like a Chapman stick, but on guitar. Amazing player. The video is just under 8:00 and it's worth every second. Just let it load completely first and...

    Symphony X orchestral music

    I have always wondered what it would be like to play Symphony X music, notably the orchestral sections (ex: The Odyssey pt 1, Occulus Ex Inferni) I remember that group Nota Profana doing the Odyssey with real instruments and that actually gave me the confidence that in can indeed be done...

    Creating V cover from scratch

    I did something really silly yesterday. I was playing Knights of the Old Republic, and on Tatooine, I realized that the sand looked just like the sand on the V cover. So I took a screenshot: Then I added a new sky which I made from a picture I found on the internet. I did some lighting...

    Sitar and Mini Harp

    In Twilight in Olympus, it says that MJR plays a sitar and a mini harp. I can't hear it really but is there a part when you can hear these instruments?

    Story of Divine Wings / Paradise Lost

    I was thinking just before, and I heard someone here say that Paradise Lost's concept is sort of a prequel to Divine Wings, which makes sense. I was thinking, is the narrator of Divine Wings Satan?
