More from Greece. First, they gave us the culture, now they give us the metal:

Great and adventurous album. One of my favourites from that year.

(My only concern is that they may be a neo-Nazi band!  I don't speak Polish).

I'm just listening to The Suns of Perdition - Chapter III: The Astral Drain and, man, is this thing infernal. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Progressive metal with some symphonic elements. I have really enjoyed this short album:

I will try and listen to the other two bands, when time allows it. Smile

I have added some more. I hope you enjoy them. 

I know Winds and Psychotic waltz. Smile

Some proto-symphonic metal from a time where our beloved string synths sounded as unrealistic as possible.

Yeah I may attempt to submit MaYaN for review in the progarchives lol

The more I listen to them the more I believe they could qualify as progressive metal.

I have more recommendations, too, but I need to backtrack my recently listened-to albums and pick out the "truly symphonic" ones, of which I have a few. I'll post them in a few days or so... maybe.

The first track from this is insane, I wish the rest of the album developed more in that vein:


Btw, @bardberic, thanks for recommending MaYan, I have been digging their last album!

The last song is straight up plagiarism of the Game of Thrones theme, but the album is pretty cool overall:

Why are Italians and French always doing fantastic music and here in Spain it's so hard to find even a single band worth of your time?

Darkwater is a great band, I need to give them another listen soon. 

Never heard of Acolyte and the link above does not work for me. 
edit: found their bandcamp. Thanks for pointing them out.

I don't know how I messed up the link. Thanks for pointing it out. It should work now.

Loved their debut when it came out; sat very well alongside Circus Maximus, Andremeda & Seventh Wonder back in the late noughties

The album of Threads of Fate that I shared in this thread always reminds me to Extension of the Wish by Andromeda.

Another set of fabulous compositions with little too much compression:
