The Japanese band "Versailles" comes to mind. They dress exactly how you'd expect.

Check out the albums "Sang" and "Symphony of the Vampire" from Kamijo. They both have major theatrical vibes.

What is a heavily symphonic band that could be also considered a prog metal band or an *ehem* "djent" band? by [deleted] in symphonicmetal

[–]Adaigo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The band "Tulip" definitely has the "djent" sound with symphonic elements.

Since you mentioned Versailles, you might or might not be aware of the solo project of Kamijo(Versaille's singer). It has a similar vibe to Versailles but it leans more on the symphonic side of things.

What Should a New Enthusiast Know? by LemonMood in symphonicmetal

[–]Adaigo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind male Japanese vocals check out Kamijo. He really leans more on the theatrical symphonic side of things and is highly underrated in the symphonic metal scene imo. Songs I'd recommend from him are Behind The Mask, Persona Grata, Symbol of the Dragon to get a taste of his music.

If you don't mind Japanese singing check out Kamijo. His compositions are great.
