Anyone else into Folk Metal or Symphonic Metal? (a Headbangers Paradise)

[wwmjkd]

alright aaron, I wasn't going to throw my two cents in, but since it appears this thread is gaining steam, I figured some real metal ought to be represented (not that I don't adore dream theater).

the below clip is a short film entitled 'the separation' that someone used to feature 'jambi' by tool. although the film is unrelated to the song or band, it works quite well, even if it is a little too on the nose. the song is more of a metaphor, but it makes for a moving piece nonetheless.

I know the concept is rather dark, but it's nothing offensive or obscene.

How about some plain old Melodic Death Metal like Dethklok? Hands down one of my favorite bands.

Dethklok = Best show on TV

Never heard of Eluveitie, but I like what I heard.

Is this the same Apocalyptica that put out those songs with Rock Band Vocalists (Gaven Rosdale, Corey Taylor...)?

I could never get into Symphony X or Dream Theater (Power Metal) , but I do like Dimmu Borgir (they don't get much respect because they are too "commercial")

One thing I don't like about Born of Osiris is the 3 min songs. 3 min songs are BS.

Periphery has grown on me.

My favorite bands are Behemoth, Dark Tranquility and In Flames.
And I love a lot of female fronted metal bands.
The Agonist is awesome. She is amazing and she looks really good too.

After hearing the Alestorm which I like it reminded me of what I thought of as "Irish Metal"

I listen to tool, not a band in my short list, but a good band none the less!

I don't have an issue with dark lol, I listen to bands like Behemoth and Gorgoroth

the caveat was included for any unsuspecting souls unfamiliar with the genre at hand. I am sure you have no issue with themetically dark music.

Dream Theater definitely isn't power metal lol, this is power metal... let the cheese fest begin

Yes, but they have had a slight line up change since the video I posted... (They lost a member, I don't remember if they replaced I'm or not)

Oh yes! I really love Dethklok
