| Post subject: | Symphonic Concept Albums |
I have been trying to find more symphonic concept albums lately and hitting some slight blocks. List the best that you know! I prefer the ones with a more melodic side to them, but I'm a very musically open person. Personally, the best concept album, and album, that I have ever purchased was the absolutely brilliant Luxaeterna by Aquaria Also, I know of the obvious ones like the Rhapsody series, but still list away! |

Therion's Secret of the Runes is pretty cool. It has to do with the realms of Norse mythology. |

Limbonic Art's two first albums have symphonic elements but so does the rest of their discography but in lesser amounts. |

You could try Tobias Sammet's Avantasia [Metal Opera Part 1 & 2] or anything by Luca Turilli such as Prophet Of The Last Eclipse. |

AngL by Ihsahn is a must for symphonic progressive. You won't be sorry on that one. Satisfaction guaranteed. |

The Adversary by Ihsahn isn't bad either... Also check out Symphony X's last albums - The oddesy, paradise lost and Divine Wings of Tragedy |

Axamenta's latest (and maybe final) album, Ever-Arch-I-Tech-Ture is pretty damn brilliant, music- and conceptwise. It's not necessarily symphonic sensu stricto, though. |

Bal-Sagoth. Any album. Except their first (not really symphonic) and their most recent (less symphonic than previous releases.) |

If you're not opposed to music about Vikings, Turisas "The Varangian Way" is a great concept album with some nice symphonic elements to it. |

Ihsahn isn't metal. Listen to most of Bal-Sagoth's discography, as stated earlier. |

Listen to most of Bal-Sagoth's discography, as stated earlier. Excuse me? Ihsahn is very much metal though he has taken quite a few progressive rock elements and fused it with his brand of playing. |

More like generic orchestrations layered over lame chugging chords; not really worth anything. It's like Korpiklaani except not entertaining. |

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dimmu Borgir! 
Anorexia Nervosa's "New Obscurantum Order" is pretty cool symphonic black metal. |

The Varangian Way is a great album. the guitar and bass parts are a little lacking, yes, but the accordian and violin parts alone make up for that, not to mention the orchestral/symphonic samples, which are a tad repetitive at points but still good. And Korpiklaani sounds nothign like Turisas, at least not on the album i ahve. |

You might try Becoming the Archetype's new one, 'Dichotomy' if you're not opposed to Christian-themed lyrics. |

Check out Timeless Miracle and Logar's Diary. Also, Bal-Sagoth are a must-have if you haven't heard of them before. |

I add to the Bal-Sagoth reccommendations, and also, Turisas' Varangian Way is a big step from Battle Metal. They sound a lot more mature as a conceptual band, though the silly hits are there. |
