As you may or may not know, my job description at the radio station entails reviewing and shelving all incoming heavy metal albums. Often I have to wade through loads of crap to get to decent stuff.
I, good sirs, recently struck gold, discovering a band called "Force of Evil." VERY heavy Symphony X influences. If you're into Symphony X, Iron Maiden, Racer X, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Dragonforce, Hammerfall, Cryptopsy (whom I personally despise, hahaha, just throwing that out there for the hell of it), Anthrax, Slayer, BLS, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, and possibly Pantera as well, check these guys out.

I doubt you'll be disappointed.
