4 stars 2004: Autumn - Summer's End - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF3uAJcqHV4
 
A timely album from Dutch band Autumn, considering it really will be Summer's End here in England in two days time. Smile

4 stars 2002: Avantasia - The Metal Opera Part II - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ZX-ND3WnA&t=2669s
 
The Metal Opera on Avantasia's second album may sound very familiar, especially if you're a fan of Ayreon and Star One. Smile

4 stars 2008: Coronatus - Porta Obscura - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Bpt8Tc9oQ
 
Classic operatic metal from German band Coronatus. Porta Obscura is not so obscure any more. Big smile

5 stars 2009: Delain - April Rain - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mH6msltN2CGlqJvKwPrefknhGMqnf5lhA
 
Sorry for the delay with Delain's April Rain in September. Wacko This is easily my favourite album so far in this poll, although I still have Within Temptation to come yet. I'd Love to Stay Forever here, but I need to Go Away and listen to some more Tangerine Dream. Smile

As I see it, The Eros of Frigid Beauty, is much more complex than that, and not particularly heavy, as the sound over all is quite synthetic/electronic - it's not as heavy as this live video suggest. Smile 

But okay, the contrast between the gentle melodic side and the Metal side is surely present on The Eros..., and that's also part of the reason I like very much this album. Smile

4 stars 2012: Diabulus in Musica - The Wanderer - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mLelVKxosXCfLxolcZpYSBsBoda75Q4uw
 
A nice hot helping of paella metal, featuring Spanish siren Zuberoa Aznarez with a voice powerful enough to raise the roof! Diabulus in Musica are the only Spanish Symphonic Metal band I know of and they were kindly introduced to me by a certain friend here who I'm not allowed to mention. Wink

"paella metal"?! Really? Do you have to put some cliché & stereotype behind any foreign band (to you)?

Sometimes, I think you take me a little too seriously. Tongue

That kind of things can be misunderstood, Paul, and used in a bad way. You made me also want to eat some apple strudel. Tongue

But then, I'm curious. What would it be if it was Danish? "smørrebrød"? Tongue

It's really amazing what you can think of, Paul.

And I simply love her diverse vocals on The Eros of Frigid Beauty

4 stars 2001: Edenbridge - Arcana - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpuoM9nnFnur75sPPjTmL9UZscFAyyLAx
 
The hills are alive with the sound of Symphonic Metal! This is Edenbridge, who are a long way from Edenbridge in Kent though, as they're from over the hills and far away in Austria. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Julie Andrews fronted an Austrian Symphonic Metal band? That would be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

5 stars 2005: Epica - Consign to Oblivion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyYwypnklEY
 
An epic album to Consign to your Metal collection from Dutch band Epica. Are you ready to let red-headed siren Simone Simons take you to heaven and back?  I'll be Amster-damned if this isn't Edam Gouda album! My cheesy puns are getting worse. Tongue

4 stars 2007: Imperia - Queen of Light - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nKO-y-4T7WSKduSmWr2I--U-gSBactc-Q
 
Imperia is a beautiful ancient city on the Ligurian coast of Italy, and Imperia the band are led by a beautiful blonde Viking goddess by the name of Helene Iren Michaelsen. Imperia are a truly international band with four members from four different European countries: namely, Norway, Belgium, Finland & Germany. Queen of Light is Imperia's second superb album and it would take a Braveheart indeed to deny the charms of their lovely Norwegian queen Helene. Heart
 
 
 
Imperia, Liguria, Italy

 3 stars 1997: Kamelot - Dominion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb-jN3zhQHo
 
In the Dominion of Symphonic Metal, American Power Metal band Kamelot are on the periphery with this fairly unmemorable album. I like Kamelot, but not a lot. Smile
