[QUOTE=Fast Fingers]I'm looking for some extreme symphonic metal in the vein of Emperor - Prometheus. I like that black metal sound but with tons of melody and occasional clean vocals. I hear Dimmu Borgir is a bit like that.[/QUOTE]


New stuff is like that, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon is like that.


Tvangeste doesn't have clean vocals like Emperor and Dimmu, but they are a great symphonic black metal band that gets no credit.

Bal Sagoth is more of an extreme form of symphonic epic metal, check them out.

Haggard is a very good band to check out if you want mideval type of sounding symphonic type of sound. They have alot of slower soft parts, but they have quite a bit metal kicking parts as well.

I've heard Bal Sagoth but I will definitely be looking for Tvangeste. I've got some older Dimmu Borgir but am now inspired to check out the newer stuff.

I have all Dimmu Borgir albums and one Tvangeste album if you want to get them from me on AIM or get samples or something.

Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder...
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News

I also listen to the hard rock/metal genre, and here are some I recommend:

Sweating Bullets... I don't think there's any rhythm part to the solos thats too interesting at least.

As far as bands, its tough to think of one. If I do I'll post it.
