I see your point, and it would make perfect sense if this was a music forum. But it isn't, and the fact is that people have been complaining lately about the amount of metal threads around the place. Posting it in that thread will get largely the same result, while keeping the rest of the forum cleaner.
Really? Forgive me for doubting you, sir, but chances are the plea for symphonic metal bands (as well as the others, but they're fairly unique) in a thread about metal in general is probably going to stir up "Symphonic metal sux" more than any real replies, IF it gets any attention at all. And that's a very big if.
This is the off-topic section, and as such, many off-topic discussions will go here. Should they mimic one another and share x, y, and z similarities, doesn't mean they should be merged together as one thread just because some people are whining that the greater majority, when it comes to music discussion, prefers metal to other genres.
To summarize: please quit your collective bitching about the subject, it's not our fault that metal is better in the eyes of the many on these forums, and music is a popular discussion point. Furthermore, so long as we're not blatantly starting the same thread over and over, similarities shouldn't matter, and if you don't have an interest in it; don't read it.
Now that I've said that much, thank you to everyone who's contributed and broadened my music library! Rock the f*ck on, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for more entries in this thread regarding to MUSIC instead of ... other stuff.
. Well Apocolyptica is deffinitely one of my favourites, aswell as Stratovarius(symphonic power metal!). As for Viking/also known as folk Metal, Ensiferum, Wintersun,Amon Amarth, Rhapsody(of fire),and Norther are on the top of my list.
