ere is a musical genre that was born already as classic (oh, I’m so impossible today!). As the name itself says, symphonic is the metal that takes hold of - and empowers with - elements of erudite music. At the slightest carelessness, guitars are in the spot just as orchestrations performed by acoustic guitars, violins, cellos and even by the most unpleasant of the stringed instruments, the gallows. Valkyries are usually in charge of the vocals, issuing high notes. I would scream, yes, but in tune and with an opera thing. And the lyrics orbit around castles, dungeons, dragons, twilights, lycanthropes, lost civilizations and dreamlike landscapes. Beautiful thing, perfect to escape reality without giving up beauty.
