Symphonic Metal[views:2349][posts:10]________________________________________ [Nov 29,2006 11:49am - y_ddraig_goch ""] I am on a sympho kick, my favorite genre by far, but I need more. I have Aesma Daeva, Therion, While heaven wept, nightwish, dimmu borgir(yeah I know those two suck, but I keep the albums for nostalgia) hollenthon(probably the best symphonic band) Tvangeste...I might be forgetting alot but anyways post the names of any good symphonic bands, and if you can what other genre they would be classified as, for example tvangeste is SYmphonic-Black metal. I don't care if it is death, black, power, folk, doom, anything symphonic is ussually good. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 29,2006 2:58pm - Phrozenspite ""] also the last two Rhapsody albums were also symphonic haha |

Another good band along the same lines is Mors Syphilitica. The operetic vocals are amazing enough that they put Nightwish to serious shame. Shape of Despair is pretty symphonic as well. If you're not familiar with them, they're a very slow doom metal band. The combination of harsh, growling vocals and really slow, symphonic music makes you feel like your soul is being ripped out through your ass with a pitchfork. |

I am the biggest nerd for summoning, however, I own every album and even the demos. |
