Classically Influenced Metal

therion, definitely.

Therion sounds nothing like classical, nor is it classically influenced in any way. I think alot of people get thrown off, because they use classical instruments and operatic vocals. But all it really is is metal in a classical disguise. I tell you Therion is 100% rock-style metal. It's pretty good though; I likve Vovin.

it's not that easy, tyrant. you need some good transitions and transposés to add that classical touch. but you are right, after all they are a metal band.
