@ZGoten: Sadly, you were right (as usual
) and a new track from Dark Empire didn't really appeal to me
But I'm enjoying some Xandria now, heh heh.
But on the topic of symphonic metal, are there any bands (or specific songs) that sound like Kamelot's Forever, Karma or any of their stuff from Black Halo (my favourites from there were Memento Mori, The Haunting, When the Lights Are Down and March of Mephisto)? I'm dying for more music like that right now but so far have been unable to find much.
I'm also going to go back in this thread and visit Metalstorm and check out some other sub-genres, I've been too stuck in symphonic and power for a while ^_^"
edit: just listened to the Fleshgod Apocalypse song you posted earlier on the previous page and I actually kind of liked it, especially towards the end. I definitely like the instrumentals but I guess it's still the growling vocals that's putting me off a little.
