Symphonic black metal is a style of black metal that uses symphonic and orchestral elements. Vocals can be "clean" or operatic in style, song structures are more defined or are inspired by symphonies. However, much of the characteristics of "traditional" black metal are retained, such as shrieked vocals, fast tempos and high-pitched electric guitars often played with tremolo picking.

Symphonic black metal is a style of black metal that uses symphonic and orchestral elements. This may include the usage of melodic instruments found in the sections of a symphony orchestra (string instruments, brass instruments, woodwinds and keys).

Album recommends

Hello, can I have some album recommends please?

I’m wanting pure epic melody of the black or death kind from start to finish. Or anything really as long as it has power.

I’m generally into more polished sounds as opposed to bedroom recordings but doesn’t have to be recent as long as it doesn’t sound crappy or mega dated.

Artists I dig for context:

  • Night Crowned
  • DerphTushka
  • Rotting Christ
  • Orbit Culture
  • Xaon
  • Kardashev

Thanks in advance 😁

Anyone interested in making a sympho bm band?

Hi guys,

I play drums and have started 7 years ago. I have always dreamed of playing in an symphonic bm band but I have no idea how to write orchestral stuff.

Soo is anyone else interested in forming a band?
