New controversial opinion: I'm listening to Running Wild's Black Hand Inn right now, and although I find this album to be a bit repetitive and boring, I've only just now realized how many Viking/black metal-style tremolo-picked riffs this contains, and combined with the silly backing choir keyboards and whatnot, I think it's safe to say that Running Wild makes sympho/whatever black metal unnecessary. Not that black metal's lack of innovation hasn't been repeatedly demonstrated in almost all facets of its existence.
