Symphony X(以下簡稱SX)來自美國新澤西州,於1994年由吉他手Michael Romeo組成。風格屬於前衛金屬。他們分別於1997、2000發行的專輯「The Divine Wings of Tragedy」、「V: The New Mythology Suite」,絕佳的內容使他們成為備受矚目的重金屬樂團。
就音樂上來說,SX常常被拿來與夢劇場、Fates Warning、Pain of Salvation(救贖代價)等樂團做比較,不過簡單的辨別方式就是,SX的音樂比較「重」。樂句上常使用切分音,和前衛的風格,並且包括了交響金屬的元素在內。濃厚的新古典元素如Yngwie Malmsteen,Randy Rhoads和其他在新古典金屬上具有影響力的音樂家,也同時影響著他們的音樂。
