check out Roger Glover's "Butterfly's Ball and Grasshopper's Feast" from 1974... it even features the vocals of a young Ronnie James Dio!

The closest thing I've ever seen to the Overture of The Odyssey, is certain parts of Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. Not too many bands seem to do much scoring in their music. I wouldn't mind hearing some other bands that do that though.

Dragonland... Absolutely "Dragonland"

Yeah, I've been getting into Dragonland lately and they do some nice score work. Epica is another that composes very well...and of course Therion.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

Heh, I just checked them out on myspace and well they sound a LOT like dragonforce except for the fact that they are swedish (+1) and their singer can actually sing (probably because he's swedish) (+1).

 

[RequiemX]

Yeah, I've been getting into Dragonland lately and they do some nice score work.

Dragonland's cover of Neverending Story FTW!

 

[SyXified]

A bit off genre but Igor Stravinsky (especially The Rite of Spring) sounds a lot like the orchestral work in the Odyssey. Claude Debussy also works with similar dense textures and sonority.

I think Dragonland is one of the most bland and mediocre power metal bands i've ever heard.

Their singer > ZP Theart

They are not, trust me If they were what you said, i wouldn't listen.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Well have fun with that. It was way more worth it to sell Holy War for some extra cash.

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

One word: Therion. I've been getting into them recently. Awesome symphonic metal.

I don't know if this classifies anything close to the Odyssey, but Pain of Salvation's "Be" has a lot of orchestration and it's an incredible album from start to finish.

Adagio's "Dominate" has a lot of symphonic elements and dark atmospheres, might wanna check them out too.

So bollocks is bad, and dogs bollocks is good?

EDIT: Oh and somewhat more on topic, while it is not the norm for them, Finntroll has a few symphonic dances that are quite enjoyable scattered throughout their albums.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

haha, finntroll and dimmu are both quite the opposite of symphony x. Great bands, but that's like being like "oh yeah, Nightwish has some truly Symphony X moments on once... check that out! And while your at it, Satyricon's "Dark Medeival Times" also has some rather large symphonic stylings".

Yeah... not the same.
