Best Symphonic Metal Songs
This 10 minute masterpiece is what symphonic metal should be. A beautiful but haunting vocal performance accompanied by great riffs and an amazing orchestral arrangement. This is easily the best symphonic metal song ever recorded. This should defiantly be #1 The Poet and the Pendulum, Emerald Sword, and Our Solemn Hour are also top notch symphonic metal tracks.
I was skeptical because of all the obvious reasons. It's long and slow. Symphonic metal's draw is that it provides big awesome riffs without losing too much pace.
Well I was wrong to be skeptical. Just listen to the song. It's only ten minutes. You will not regret it.
Got me hooked the first time. I personally prefer Tarja's version, I think she was phenomenal.
Ghost Love Score live on Wacken 2013 is the best.
Floor Jansen added another dimension to this allready great song.
Blind Guardian nailed this subgenre and in no time became the best in the business.
Deserves the number 1 spot
Very good song. But whenever I hear this song it feels like I am listening Land of the Free - Gamma Ray.
Pleasantly surprised to find it this high.
Should be higher.
Deserves to be higher than 8
That guitar solo is amazing, The whole song is amazing.
Masterpiece! Nothing else needs to be said
Love it to. One of the greatest songs ever!
This song is an absolute journey, definitely take a listen!
It's beautiful, to say the least. Soaring music and a powerful message.
The highest level of crap period.
