The symphonic metal poll. Just to be clear, that means the RYM tag Symphonic Metal. The Symphonic Black Metal tag is uneffected by that one. Which actually creates a disjointed kind of list since symphonic death and power metal acts have to use two tags. Personally I think Epica's The Holographic Principle should be up here but since it's not I'll have to settle for the almost as good Quantum Enigma. The lack of Xandria - Neverworld's End is also disappointing.

Apocalyptica's the only symphonic metal band I listen to, so considering that they aren't here, there's nothing for me to vote for here.  ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

This is a hard one. A lot of stuff here I'm much more comfortable calling power or death metal that just happens to be symphonic. Probably will go with Epica, though that Nightwish album is a surprising rival. Surprising because when it first came out I hated it and it took me over half the decade for it to click up to a five star. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

| I'll have to go for Wilderun here. Septicflesh are great too though strictly symphonic death metal of course. |

The glory goes to Gloryhammer. The rest of the bands here take themselves too seriously. |

^ Almost everyone takes themselves too seriously if you use Gloryhammer as a baseline.  Voted Epica.
