(Prog) Symphony X will release their ninth album titled Underworld on July 24, the band have announced. It's the follow-up to 2011's Iconoclast and will be issued via Nuclear Blast.

Bassist Michael LePond last year said the album would see a return to their classic sound. And guitarist Michael Romeo reports while that remains the case, Underworld has its own character.

He says: "Every song is to-the-point and fine-tuned, with us paying a lot of attention to the hooks, voices, riffs, and keeping the interest and the energy high for the entire record.

"It is heavy and aggressive as f*** when it needs to be, yet soaring and emotional at other times. I think the balance is just right. It had to have all the elements of what we normally would do, just tweaked up a notch." Read more here.
