I guess this misleading name will never change. You guys know that "symphony" is a musical system with its structure: a sonata, a minuet, etc, right? It is not the sound itself, which is THE ORCHESTRAL SOUND, right? There is no "symphony" in the compositions by these bands. Which of these bands ever composed a minuet? Only typical metal songs, because no human being made a minuet sound grim. They are even not a classically trained musicians. How they manage to compose anything even remotely called "symphonic". So why do not call them "orchestral synth black metal"? Because that is how they sound. The fact everybody took on some hastily coined name by some musical ignoramus of the press, will never stop to amuse. Cheers, lads!

The word symphony is derived from the Greek word συμφωνία (symphonia), meaning "agreement or concord of sound", "concert of vocal or instrumental music", from σύμφωνος (symphōnos), "harmonious". The word referred to a variety of different concepts before ultimately settling on its current meaning designating a musical form.

Symphony by definition refers to a variety of different concepts. The song structures don't have to fit the modern definition of a symphony to be symphonic, evocative of a symphony.

So I guess Emperor/Ihsahn and Summoning writing songs out as classical pieces and then adding metal instrumentation into it doesn't count? Ok.

Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth are literally the two most listened to Black Metal acts in the world, so I wouldn't call it underrated, but definitely misunderstood. There are some really good hidden gems in this genre like Vargrav, or basically half the Ukrainian scene.

CF never played black metal nor death metal. The latter comes from grindcore/d-beat of the time inspired by Napalm Death and Swedish scene. You can not even tell because the sound of tapes distorted everything. They sounded like black metal for a while because in their formative years, black metal sound begun to be recognizable, and they liked it a lot, but they quickly went own direction. CF is not a black metal band as same as they are not a d-beat band despite d-beat is part of their compositions. Saying CF is a black metal band is like saying CF is a classical band because sounds like Bach playing metal. Also these Ukrainian bands are fucking lame playing something, which stopped to be cool before they where even born. World has enough black metal bands already. Be creative. Like Master's Hammer... Well, be more creative than them. They are almost outsider music, which is also lame.

...I don't know if we're talking about the same "CF", but the Cradle of Filth I know definitely isn't a d-beat band.

Hey I started a new group for music fanatics, the focus is going to be different than the ExMF and the frosty paradigm. It's a bit of an experiment but if a bunch of people get in it could be cool. Join if you are interested. I want this group to become a center for music discussion on Lastfm (even though it's metal centered, other genres are more than welcome to be discussed.) Cheers! http://www.last.fm/group/Unholy+Cult+of+the+Appraised+and+Damned

Don't Know What Cradle Of Filth Do Here . Not Because they aren't symphonic black .. no .. it's true they play symphonic black (and other genres) but dani voice is the most shit i ever heard . summoning is not a symphonic black metal band. graveworm in their latest albums they turned more into symphonic death than black . the rest are pure symphonic black . but carach angren have an unique sound (theatrale ) and theme also . that i don't like so much to be honest . the kings here are dimmu borgir , emperor and anorexia nervosa for me
