Symphonic metal subgenres
Overview
The term "symphonic metal" is used to denote any metal band that makes use of symphonic or orchestral elements; "symphonic metal" then is not so much a genre as a cross-generic designation. A few bands refer to themselves as "symphonic metal," particularly
Aesma Daeva, and the term could probably be applied to generically ambiguous metal bands like
Epica and
Therion.
Symphonic BLACK METAL
Symphonic black metal has similar components as melodic black metal, but uses keyboarding or instruments normally found in symphonic or classical music. It can also include black metal bands that make heavy usage of atmospheric keyboarding in the music, akin to symphonic metal or gothic metal. The symphonic aspects of this genre are normally integral parts of a band, and as such are commonly used throughout the whole duration of a song.
Many black metal purists discount this genre as having nothing to do with 'black metal,' due to the heavy similarities some of its bigger bands hold with gothic metal. Claims that keyboards, female vocals and other gothic metal characteristics are inconsistent with the essence of "true" black metal have often resulted in confusion between symphonic black metal and gothic metal bands.
Thy Serpent, Cradle of Filth,
Anorexia Nervosa, and
Dimmu Borgir have all been subjects of this claim.
Symphonic POWER METAL
Symphonic power metal, also called epic symphonic metal, refers to power metal bands that make extensive usage of keyboards, or instruments normally found in classical music similar to symphonic metal. These additional elements are often used as key elements of the music when compared to normal power metal, contributing not only an extra layer to the music, but a greater variety of sound.
The prototypical symphonic power metal band is
Nightwish. Songs by Nightwish that illustrate the genre well are "Ghost Love Score" from the album Once and "The Poet and the Pendulum" on the album Dark Passion Play. These songs follow the epic scope and extended formal structures characteristic of power metal while making extensive use of orchestral elements.
After Forever is another band strongly influenced by the symphonic power metal genre, and specifically by Nightwish and Kamelot. Therion is another band that frequently makes use of symphonic elements and is influenced by power metal; however, the band probably should not be considered an example of the symphonic power metal genre because of their very strong influence from death metal, which is most obvious in the band's early years. The other examples include
Visions of Atlantis and
Rhapsody of Fire
The power metal band
Grave Digger has released an album named Rheingold with strong symphonic elements quoted from Richard Wagner's Ring des Niblungen, but Grave Digger is not considered a symphonic power metal band because these symphonic elements are atypical for them.
Symphonic GOTHIC METAL
Influenced by the Peaceville trio of
PARADISE LOST, Anathema and
My Dying Bride, the Dutch band
Within Temptation was founded in 1996. A debut album Enter was unveiled in the following year, followed shortly by an EP The Dance.[2] Both releases made use of the beauty and beast approach delivered by vocalists Sharon den Adel and Robert Westerholt.
Within Temptation's brand of gothic metal combines "the guitar-driven force of hard rock with the sweep and grandeur of symphonic music". The critic Chad Bowar of About.com describes their style as "the optimum balance" between "the melody and hooks of mainstream rock, the depth and complexity of classical music and the dark edge of gothic metal".
Another Dutch band in the symphonic gothic metal strain is
After Forever. Their debut album Prison of Desire in 2000 was "a courageous, albeit flawed first study into an admittedly daunting undertaking: to wed heavy metal with progressive rock arrangements and classical music orchestration - then top it all of with equal parts gruesome cookie-monster vocals and a fully qualified opera singer".
The soprano
Sarah Brightman recorded a symphonic metal song, Fleurs du Mal, as part of her 2008 gothic-influenced album Symphony.
