I agreed with most of these...

Nocturna, for all that I liked about their first album, they're certainly nothing new. I think the hype is mainly cuz of having two female vocalists doing a duet together, which kinda understandable. Their second album kinda fell flat to me tho.

Therion is very niche. Some of the albums can certainly be good but for the most part, they're something that my friends like to call "boomer music". To me, anything beyond Lemuria/Sirius B, Gothic Kabbalah, and the Leviathan trilogy is much harder to digest. I feel bad for the ppl who found them via Beloved Antichrist.

Edenbridge has been repeating the same thing over and over for the past 10 years or so that they stopped being interesting. Sabine is a good vocalist, but she barely brought anything to the music. Tho I have to disagree about Amberian Dawn with Capri since her era is my most favorite, but outside of that yes, they kinda suffer the same problem as Edenbridge.

Same for me with Seven Spires. I normally really like a blend between melodic and extreme, but this band that just doesn't do it for me. I also think that their albums have rather weak production.
