    What annoys people is mainly the impression that the orchestra is used as a way to cover up the deficits and weaknesses that the music otherwise has, and make easy-listening rock music that uneducated listeners associate with the "genius" image of symphonic composers. As for metal from a musical point of view, try this and this.

    Correction: "There's more to orchestra metal than the orchestra parts." Oh, and hiring someone to write or arrange the orchestra parts is even less worthy of admiration. It certainly doesn't turn you into a great composer.

    Ah, I hadn't considered the origin of the term or possible meanings. To me "symphonic" has only meant definition 1a: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/symphony "an elaborate instrumental composition in three or more movements, similar in form to a sonata but written for an orchestra and usually of far grander proportions and more varied elements." I like definition 4 though. I should add that I still don't think I really know what metal is either. :-P

    Outsourcing musicianship from the band to guest musicians goes right against the spirit of metal, which includes a certain level of musicianship and "extremeness" in the band that makes it more challenging to fully appreciate than mainstream pop. It's easy to find skilled guest musicians and write challenging parts for them. There's nothing admirable in that, it's just showing off other people's skills and your own financial power. That said, it's easy to impress with an orchestra because everything sounds better when it is played by a skilled orchestra, especially Disney-esque soundtrack-ish music that is an imitation of an imitation of an imitation of real classical music.

    If orchestras were relevant to symphonic metal it would be called orchestra metal. But it isn't. Actually "symphonic" is a far more precise description if you look at the original meaning of the word: "sounding together". You don't need a real orchestra at all to achieve a "symphonic" sound. cognitive21st: There is more to orchestra metal than the orchestra parts, and the metal part. Orchestra metal with mediocre metal parts and mediocre songwriting as well as mediocre vocals is mediocre, as impressive as the orchestra parts may be. At the base, symphonic or orchestra metal is still METAL (at least that's what the term says - it doesn't say "metallised orchestra pop rock" or something like that), so I will judge it mainly by the metal parts - the orchestra is just a nice aside but not essential to the music. After all, when you go see the band, who is playing is the band, not the orchestra, especially when it comes from backup tapes.

    Okay... Therion and After Forever aren't more popular than Nightwish or WT, nor is that what florianblaschke meant. I don't think they're better, either, but it doesn't matter. According to the true definition of symphonic metal, orchestra is irrelevant; symphonic structure in the music would be all that matters. However I think it's best to ignore that and equate "symphonic" with "orchestral" because otherwise you'll just be a lone voice yelling at the mob to run the other way, pointless. And Evanescence is not gothic rock; that was first-generation goth music back in the late 70's and 80's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_rock Evanescence are gothic and rock but not gothic rock. I realize that calling out misuse of the "gothic rock" tag is also yelling at the mob, but in that case my respect for first-generation goths compels me to. :) That's not the case with symphonic metal.

    @florianblaschke (your 3rd last comment) : who said those bands are better....being more popular does NOT mean you can classify them as better.......if you dont like it then its not better for you!! and if you do then it is!!!

    @florianblaschke (your 3rd last comment): what orchestral obsession of NW are you talking about?? it is orchestra that makes this genre named as symphonic metal; are you saying that orchestral emphasis is destructive for this genre??? well then i m bound to disagree; i think its orchestra along with metal ofcourse, that makes this genre so unique; beauty with strength!! on the other hand i think that evanesence and WT do NOT qualify as symphonic metal bands because most of evanesence's music fit in gothic rock and WT's in symphonic rock !!?? and lastly i think all of this genre classification of bands is just a little stupid; cuz bands never want to be restricted to be certain type of music; they mostly like to experiment; as you can see therion underwent a major genre shift....so you can classify tracks, maybe albums in most cases but bands can be very rarely classified as belonging to a certain genre!!! peace

    I also want to point out that I am on a never-ending quest to denounce genres altogether. Genres barely actually mean anything, and labeling music only causes arguments like this (or the worse, the unintelligent ones that are so common in the metal community) to occur. Music is music, and some is good, and some is crappy, and a little of both fall into every "genre" there is. *Shrug*

    I should explain further... I see an ever-widening divide between the standards of discerning listeners (generally the kind of people who write extensively on Last.fm) and everyone else - the public, the reviewers and media who still call Nightwish and WT "gothic metal," and the record labels who'll say whatever sells. For me, it's the lesser of two evils to alienate the discerning listeners than it is to alienate everyone else. I was talking to someone once who said that some post-rock band say they hate the term "post-rock," and think of their music as "symphonic." That made sense to me, it's too bad the field's full of squatters - but everyone thinks the squatters belong there and there's really nothing I can do about it, so I just go along with it.

    florianblaschke: I agree with you about the quality of the music itself. I do feel that the music should be more complex in terms of both the "metal" guitar and drum parts, as well as in the "classical" orchestral music. Many of the bands that are classified as symphonic metal do not fit these standards. I do wish to point out, however, that the genre "metal" has been used to describe so many different things that it's almost not even a genre anymore (kind of like "rock"). If you take a look at a lot of "metal" bands, they don't follow any strict musical standard, either.

    Eh... IMO "should" and "discerning" went out the window as soon as the term "symphonic metal" was coined instead of "orchestral metal." For several months after I saw the tag "symphonic metal," I assumed it meant some kind of progressive metal with the musical form of a symphony, and hence ignored it. Nowadays, I have no qualms at all about going with the flow and abusing this term as I see fit.

    Also, you're setting yourself up for trouble when you effectively claim to combine classical music (an extremely developped form of music) and metal (a technically very developped form of music as well) or symphonic/progressive rock (same here) but the result is more akin to pop rock with film score like orchestrations (or worse, cheap synthesizer effects) and pop vocals, as well as lyrics that sound more clichéd than refined. Few bands actually manage to live up to the expectations raised. "Symphonic metal" is a VERY pretentious label and should be used in a much more cautious way.

    Seems we've just struck at the heart of the problem, nDroae. You do realise that Delain, Within Temptation etc. are not marketed as symphonic rock or pop, but METAL? The reason why so-called symphonic metal has a bad reputation among general metal fans is that many of the bands make music that has little to do with either (good) metal or classical music. Hey, whatever rocks your boat, and if you enjoy the music, more power to you, but please, please, DON'T call it symphonic or even gothic metal. NOTE: In metal, instruments are of equal importance as vocals (or lyrics, for that matter), and generally expected to be on a technically fairly high level. Metal is not supposed to be easy to listen to, and high-quality metal is moreover expected to have some degree of originality, songwriting-wise. Pop metal is not taken seriously as an alternative by discerning metal fans (many of whom dabble in making music themselves). Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just telling you the way things are.
