    Wow, florianblaschke, I'm glad you've put so much thought into all of this. I do find it interesting that so many people just don't think of what they're really saying when they say "symphonic metal". I've heard some people refer to it as "symph metal", thus losing the actual symphonic part even more (and at the same time sounding ironically like synth metal).

    Symphonic metal, for the more sophisticated headbanger.

    Oh, okay. :D Yeah, it'd be nice if symphonic metal actually was symphonic. XD

    nDroae, I don't think musical development is a widely used technique in symphonic metal - it's really sophisticated for rock music in general. "Close to the Edge" by Yes is said to have the form of a symphony, but not one of the usual forms. Recurring, modulated motifs/ideas is not what I hear in "Son of the Sun" - the basic structure is quite usual for a rock/metal song. I would examine epic longtracks for "symphony structures". One example that comes to mind is "White Pearl, Black Oceans..." by Sonata Arctica. You've got one melody repeated throughout the entire piece, but ever-changing and morphing - admittedly, it is always easily recognised. But I think musical development is an ingenious technique to use your musical ideas and melodies in an economical way - "recycle" them without overly obvious repetition -, and deserves to be used FAR more in metal, especially symphonic metal, of course. Free-form fantasias are harder!

    Symphonic metal is the best metal style for me. Nightwish and Within Temptation are the best really. Therion begin play symphonic metal in 1996 by album Theli. It was a first symphonic metal album....Epica is the best symphonic metal band at 21 th century and Apocalyptica isn´t symphonic metal, because they don´t use full orchestra.

    Kingdom of Heaven has been growing on me, much to my discomfort. XD Interesting observation about removing repetition increasing the complexity. Yeah, that's what I meant about "symphonic in the true sense," as I understand it that means a symphonic song structure regardless of the instruments used to play it, which (to my untrained ear) "Son of the Son" seems to have, as its clear musical "theme" is played in variations / developed (or whatever the term is) over the course of the song. :)

    ... the lines of Estatic Fear (see "Somnium Obmutum"), or (early) Empyrium; some avantgarde metal; some folk metal; and last but not least the aforementioned post-rock/metal. Godspeed You! Black Emperor partly act like an orchestra made out of electric guitars played in unconventional ways, more like violins - certainly a unique twist on the idea to combine rock music and orchestral sounds somehow.

    If the term "symphonic metal" is restricted to bands using a real full symphonic orchestra, the genre would be extremely small. For example, Visions of Atlantis haven't used a real orchestra, either, on Trinity, and Edenbridge didn't do so before MyEarthDream. Even Epica don't use a full orchestra on their albums. Nevermind that no band except Therion tours with a live orchestra. The restriction makes as little sense as the requirement of a lead vocalist singing in a classical style - which actually makes a little bit more sense, now that I think of it. But while most people may spontaneously associate the term "symphonic metal" with orchestral and choral bombast, or at least a synthesiser-based imitation of it, it is certainly true that other genres could lay claim to the term just as well: melodic prog metal à la Dream Theater (I've read the description "symphonic progressive metal" in fact), being based as it is on the classic symphonic (prog) rock of the seventies; doom metal along

    One criticism about "Kingdom of Heaven" and the album as a whole that I agree with to some extent - in principle - is that it is too repetitive. But if the repetition was removed, the songs would be shorter, but even more complex and difficult to get into. ;-)

    "Kingdom of Heaven" is great, but not easy to get into because it is, as you say, kind of chaotic. But that's not a bug, it's a feature. It has a unusual song structure and fits the progressive metal mold indeed. The instrumental part in the middle always reminds me of Opeth, and in a good way because truth be told, I've always found it hard to get into Opeth myself: their music is very gloomy and chaotic and jazzy; hard to swallow for me. But I've come to like their sound; their music is definitely autumn music, full of shades of brown, gray and black, like a muddy November. Very atmospheric, but a little too bleak and depressive for my taste.

    "Son of the Sun" was impressive and clearly symphonic in the true sense. Y'know, speaking of songs being carefully crafted, I read that Epica's "Kingdom of Heaven" took three years to compose, but to me it's rather boring. I can't tell if that's entirely because I don't like progressive metal much, or also in part because the song turned out messy. :-P I actually want to invest less time expanding my musical horizons from now on than I have since 2006; I bought a load of music in that time that I don't really enjoy, although sometimes I like it better when I listen to it again a year or more after the first time. This, for example. XD

    Though I agree with you, florianblaschke -- music shouldn't be something that a band can produce in an hour. A song needs to have more thought and effort put into it than many of the popular songs that people are listening to right now. To me, not only does the music need to be of a high quality or unique in some way, but the lyrics need to mean something. I've heard some REALLY crappy songs recently that make me want to vomit -- they have very little effort put into the music, and the lyrics look like the songwriters opened a dictionary, closed their eyes, and put their finger on a word and used that method for creating lyrics. Not cool.

    The problem here is that the "metal" genre has become so confusing and convoluted recently. Not only do we now have genres like "nu-metal", which can't decide if they're metal or hard rock, but certain old metal bands are now being slammed for not being metal enough *cough*Metallica*cough*. I find it hard to determine whether something is actually *metal* or not, and it seems that this genre is now up for individual interpretation.

    You see, the genre is not always easy to appreciate but demands some dedication and time of you. "Growers" are a good thing, in my experience. There are songs and albums that I immediately loved and that I never tired of but those are very rare. Good music is music that you can listen to again and again, even after many years and changing tastes or further experiences (whether in music or in life) and you keep discovering new aspects. I know I have taken years to get into some genres, bands and albums that are among my favourites now. If that's not your thing and you want a quick fix, no problem, but that's not what THIS genre is about. It's not mere background music. For an example (somewhat random) of a symphonic metal song that's also a carefully crafted metal song see "Son of the Sun" by Therion and pay attention to the guitar, especially the beginning riff and the solo at 4:00.

    ringwraith10: IF a band arranges all their orchestra parts THEMSELVES in addition to writing the outlines, I sure DO respect that accomplishment. But you cannot take that for granted and impressing your audience through the virtuosity of guest musicians (and the accomplishments of hired guns) instead of your own is lame. nDroae: Sorry for you, but you see, the question "metal or not?" is not just a subjective assessment and that you need a certain background and experience for a proper estimation. I highly respect all the true metal, whether traditional, power, speed, thrash, death, black, doom, gothic, prog, avantgarde, folk or whatever, even if I don't enjoy all those genres equally, and all bands that display musicianship, but I oppose dumbing down the genre. Alternative metal is a case in point, because it is based on hardcore punk rather than metal and lacks the sophistication of real metal. I'm not much into, say, technical death metal but I do respect the sophistication thereof.
