Yngwie Malmsteen used a symphony orchestra on certain songs on Fire and Ice from 1991. Metallica "Nothing Else Matters" from 1991. Queensryche "Silent Lucidity" from 1990 and "Real World" from 1993, Savatage "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" from 1995. Of course Michael Kamen went on a bender for a while adding symphonic parts to a number of bands in the early 90s (including Metallica and Queensryche of course). The trend was definitely starting early in the 90s. Not sure about 80s though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438761497055875251.post-18845537389594436682015-01-08T14:23:29.920+00:002015-01-08T14:23:29.920+00:00Thank you!

When I saw "History of symphonic metal" and started reading I could not stop, even the English not being my native language. In my country (I'm from Argentina), although there is a considerable number of fans of the genre, only when a band comes to play one meets with those people, so it is not something that one can usually read and discuss .<br />I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to read someone with the same musical tastes, I really liked the style of writing, and now I have a few more bands to try, because so far I listened carefully to Epica, Nightwish, Xandria, Delain , Within Temptation, and a bit of After Forever and Therion (in that order of preference).<br />I hope I have written in an English that is understood at least (with a little help from Google Translator)<br />Cheers and good luck with your blog and your bookAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06490744861940977355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438761497055875251.post-72878407782561922442014-06-16T18:57:58.504+01:002014-06-16T18:57:58.504+01:00Thank you very much for your comments, really appr...Thank you very much for your comments, really appreciate it!

I don't know about Lepaca Kliffoth, but Theli is distinctly softer and a lot more choir oriented than Symphony Masses. It's quite a dramatic difference, but it's not quite like Cannibal Corpse waking up one day and deciding that ABBA-esque metal is their true calling. <br /><br />I like how you can write informational articles like this and retain your voice. <br /><br />I also really liked that you gave a nod to Visual Kei. I got into metal through Versailles.

I admit I've not listened to Therion much so when I write about them I really have to go on other sources. And I shall make it more clear about Xandria, they "reformed" in the sense that they made a demo that didn't go anywhere and then came back together with a different line-up.<br /><br />And indeed, I personally feel that extreme symphonic metal is quite a different beast, I see it as pretty separate from the main genre, though there is some crossover.Hapfairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966629392170844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438761497055875251.post-34585120243250855512014-06-15T07:40:41.111+01:002014-06-15T07:40:41.111+01:00Whenever someone mentions Therion's genre swit... Whenever someone mentions Therion's genre switch with Theli, I always picture a very confused devotee of death metal checking to make sure he really bought Therion's latest. <br /> The bit about Xandria was confusing, because it started with when they reformed. I saw that and had to go back and see if I missed the sentence about when they were formed.<br /> Also, I'm glad symphonic extreme metal is getting some love. It's a good thing it's getting a separate blog post too, because Fleshgod Apocalypse and Delain really don't have much in common.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790304171852088569noreply@blogger.com
