Description:

For those who love orchestral metal of all kind!

Orchestral Metal is a Symphonic Metal sub-genre, whose main influence is classical music. Imposing orchestrated parts create rich, majestic, complex and lush soundscapes, either via keyboards or real (symphonic or chamber) orchestras. Any band that achieves such a majestic, epic or solemn atmosphere can be considered orchestral, from folk/viking metal Equilibrium, black metal Limbonic Art, power metal Visions Of Atlantis, to the more classicaly inspired acts such as Therion and Haggard, which are the most known in their particular metal sub-genres. check connected artists for more interesting listens.

how about tvageste? russian orchestral black metal. relaly amazing, and the orchestral elements play a big part in the music rather than simply bulking the sound up

Sirenia doesn't fit. Sirenia is symphonic, not orchestral.
