Symphonic Metal?

[Astrum]

My bad. Its just what they are officially catgorized as.

But that stuff is good too, syphonic black is one of my fav genres. I only listen to a few regular black m. bands

 

[Wires & Waves]

Apocalyptica has some fun tracks but there really isn't much 'symphonic' about them. They are just a metal band who play cellos as if they were guitars (atleast based on the little I've heard by them).

bear in mind in metal "symphonic" simply means "involves classical instruments or keyboard presets designed to imitate such"

SV gets a +1

=0

wow....

 

[Wires & Waves]

unless it's a flute preset of coruse in which case its "viking"

 

[MetalAges]

Man this is a tough thread because everyone has their own interpretation if symphonic. The first album I thought of when I saw that word was Ayreon's "Into the Electric Castle".

That is a different album! Ayreon brings the strange music

Type O Negative are neither metal nor symphonic.

But they use synths??? :zombie:

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Soilwork uses synths.

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

I think Eternal Tears of Sorrows' new album is quite symphonic. I like it very much so. But then again, I could be a n00b when it comes to this type of music.

Just the name 'Symphonic Metal' is enough to make me gag.

Just the name 'Symphonic Metal' is enough to make me gag.

Why?

Worth noting are also:

Waltari's album Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! - Death metal symphony in deep C
Hollenthon
Dark Mirror Ov Tragedy
Pain Of Salvation's album Be
Samsas Traum (Some of their (his) material is quite symphonic, like their latest album. They are sometimes metal, sometimes other stuff)
Janus (some metal influenced material)
Angizia (not really metal, but they use black metal vocals on their early material)

 

[Cythraul]

Just the name 'Symphonic Metal' is enough to make me gag.

[Thoth-Amon]

I'd say my favorites are Therion and Tristania, then I guess Type O Negative.

Type O Negative!!!

Oh yeah, Sobre Nocturne too.

 

[A1a23]

Shade empire.

 

[Blue_Jay]

Not a big fan of symphonic metal but I'll take it anyday over rock/rap/radio/jazz/folk/etc

 

[Astrum]

so pretty much all other music?

(besides other metal.)

Your comment is enough to make me gag.

 

[Rozenrot]

When I hear symphonic metal I think of Therion, Epica and After Forever.
Metal bands with classical elements in them.
