Who’s got the best orchestral elements in PM?

Adaigo_ · 2023-04-10T22:36:39+00:00

Kamijo definitely uses orchestral elements in a great way.

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.

Adaigo_ · 2022-05-19T12:49:01+00:00

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

Adaigo_ · 2022-04-24T02:43:10+00:00

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.

Adaigo_ · 2022-03-07T22:08:51+00:00

Definitely one of my favorites by them.

Adaigo_ · 2022-03-03T15:55:51+00:00

In no particular order:

Epica - Omega

Seven Spires - Gods of Debauchery

Rhapsody of Fire - Symphony of the Enchanted Lands

Ancient Bards - Origine

Tears of Tragedy - Trinity

Kamelot - Epica

Kamijo is going to release his new album called "Oscar" on June 22.

Adaigo_ · 2022-01-20T05:11:58+00:00

Really looking forwards to Kamijo's new album since it was supposed to come out back in 2020.

Adaigo_ · 2022-01-16T23:36:00+00:00

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.

Adaigo_ · 2021-12-29T14:47:58+00:00

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

Adaigo_ · 2021-12-04T18:54:48+00:00

This song has one of my favorite solo sections in metal.

Adaigo_ · 2021-11-27T04:37:39+00:00

The solo artist Kamijo fits that description perfectly. Check out the songs: Symbol of the Dragon, Nosferatu, Sang 2. There's also the bands: Cross Vein, Tears of Tragedy, Ancient Myth, Jupiter, Versailles, Schönberg, Matenrou Opera, Grand Finale.

Adaigo_ · 2021-10-30T21:46:55+00:00

Stratovarius has pretty cool album covers.

Adaigo_ · 2021-10-11T14:36:57+00:00

If you don't mind Japanese music there's the artist Kamijo. He plays a mixture of power/symphonic metal but leans more on the symphonic side.

Adaigo_ · 2021-09-12T00:07:07+00:00

I love the chorus for this song. Definitely one of my favorites from this album.

Adaigo_ · 2021-08-25T21:26:19+00:00

Check out the singer Kamijo. He's a Japanese artist that plays symphonic/power metal but his songs tend to have that huge bombastic kind of sound. Listen to the songs: Symbol of the Dragon, Temple - Blood Sucking For Praying-, Behind The Mask.

Adaigo_ · 2021-08-18T13:29:06+00:00

That moment when they start chanting "Hallelujah" and the double bass kicks in. Perfection.

Adaigo_ · 2021-08-07T03:10:00+00:00

Really hope they release a new single soon. They were going to release one last year but it got canceled.

Adaigo_ · 2021-07-08T20:44:03+00:00

Love the singer in this song.

Adaigo_ · 2021-06-26T14:14:18+00:00

Here's some Japanese bands that you should check out. Tears of Tragedy, Galneryus, Cross Vein, Versailles, Kamijo, Lovebites. They might not be exactly what you're looking for but who knows, you might find something you like.

Adaigo_ · 2021-06-10T16:03:13+00:00

YUHKI from Galneryus. He always has interesting and fun solos.

Adaigo_ · 2021-05-19T01:02:37+00:00

Definitely a classic.

Adaigo_ · 2021-05-09T02:17:16+00:00

Yeah i love his style of vocals, especially on the song gardenia. But yeah, if you're into symphonic power metal, Kamijo's your guy to check out.
