patrick wolf - the magic position
i loved a lot of these songs, and they definitely helped to fill my zune a little more. thank you all who posted songs and bands
If you like symphonic metal, then I'd DEFINITELY recommend a Finnish band called Sonata Arctica. You didn't mention liking it or disliking it though, so I'm not sure.
Check out their Reckoning Night album - it's their best, in my opinion, and probably their most accessible. Perhaps their Silence album as well.
I'd classify Sonata Arctica more as a power metal band than symphonic metal. Sure there are elements from symphonic metal but their overall sound is much more of power metal.
Besides, most of their songs are way too repetitive, the tempos and melodies...they always repeating the same. However I do love a few of their songs such as "Fullmoon", "Tallulah", "The End Of This Chapter" and "Replica". The rest, for my taste, are too repetitive though a few are enjoyable but after a while I get tired of the same thing over and over again.
BlackWolf, if you want to try real symphonic metal you should try Nightwish (please avoid their latest album, it sucks! The other ones are great), Within Temptation (earlier work such as the "Mother Earth" album), Therion ("Lemuria" and "Sirius B" albums specially), Symphony X (try the "V - The New Mythology Suite" album) and Luca Turilli (specially the "The Infinite Wonders of Creation" and "Prophet of the Last Eclipse" albums).

Yeah. I mean their new singer sings well but her singing and tone are extremely standard and too cliche. Tarja really gave Nightwish a unique sound and by firing her they also threw away a HUGE contribution to their unique sound, therefore, they lost it. Tarja's singing gave me chills while this new singer annoys me to death and their overall sound is too cliche. It really sucks.
I love them and it just pisses me off how bad they became with the new album...
