Rating something that is instrumentally excellent low because of the theme is ugh dumb.

Symphony of the Vampire was brought to you by a man who skillfully harnesses the powers of beauty and downright intelligence. These seven songs - or 'movements', whichever you prefer - are crafted without hiccups nor any misplaced sections. Kamijo's voice is shimmering with radiance and compassion all throughout, and the musicianship here is absolutely flawless. Symphonic metal at its finest? Whether or not this epic is worthy of such an award is up to the listener...

Honestly guys, I just can get into this. Musically it's indeed excellent a 4.5/5. I'd much prefer
this in an instrumental version. But it's the other astpects of this I can't embrace. The
hyperbbolic approach in style is too much for me, thematically (I won't say lyrically, I don't
understand a word) it's a bit... odd? Vampires and French revolution, and Medieval Times and
Renaissance... The band's view on them is so fairytale-ish that I can't take them seriously. Heck,
I can't take Epica seriously most of the times now, and I believe these fellas have more cheese in
their music. Vocals are tolerable I guess, I will attribute my suspension in the fact that I'm not
familiar with the language. rHowever, in all honesty, I'd give this a 3, maybe a 3.5 for the
excellent music.

A symphonic metal album that is simultaneously to ridiculous to be taken seriously yet too awesome to turn away from.
