^ The town of Edenbridge in Kent looks very appealing and looks very much like a market town near to where I live called Southwell - famous for its Minster. I think it's too much of a coincidence for an Austrian band to name themselves Edenbridge without knowing of the town in Kent, although I could be wrong. Smile

4 stars 2007: Epica - The Divine Conspiracy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDBTdkdpmdk&t=1477s
 
The Divine Conspiracy is Epica's concept album about the "dangers and deceit of organised religion", so you probably won't be seeing them in church on Sunday. Tongue

I have a Secret Passion for Imperia's singer Helene Iren Michaelsen, although it's not so secret any more. Embarrassed

3 stars 1998: Kamelot - Siege Perilous - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9n5pAqXb8A
 
Kamelot: a US Power Metal band that centres around Arthurian legend with fairly run-of-the-mill albums that are never destined to become legendary, but that's Providence for you. Smile

Thanks. I'll look forward to listening to that trilogy of albums. Kamelot may not sound very original to my ears, but tt least they're a big improvement over Dimmu Borgir, Opeth & Therion. Smile

Seriously, after all we've said, have you still not listened to Theli? Confused

Not yet, but I'll listen to Therion's Theli album when we get to the fifth Symphonic Metal poll. In the meantime, I have at least a thousand other albums lined up to listen to, including Therion's second, third & fourth albums.  Wink

4 stars 2014: Kingfisher Sky - Arms of Morpheus - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lK7TuCQvZXNNS0__MyEpKPxQEu8cqYUPQ
 
Have you fallen under the Hypnotic spell of the Dutch siren-song of Judith Rijnveld yet? If you've ever suffered from Insomnia, then Arms of Morpheus is an album you could happily drift off to sleep to, in the nicest possible way, of course. Now there's a novelty for a Symphonic Metal album. Tongue

4 stars 2009: Leaves' Eyes - Njord - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nUwNtxmtS-_pJ8RkX_Doke4dqrWehxfqw
 
More Nordic tales of Viking plunder and derring-do with Liv Christine and co, and if you're lucky, the album comes free with a model of a Viking longship. Seriously! Shocked

4 stars 2006: Lunatica - The Edge of Infinity - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lI1_KdaVHhTIInT6trKCdhAAvanFTQPLk
 
If Lunatica aren't the best Symphonic Metal band ever to come from the Swiss Alps, then I must be barking at the moon. If you're still not convinced, then here's a Song for You. Smile

Wishmaster, Wishmaster, I Wish I Had an Angel for every time I've listened to Nightwish's albums. They're FantasMic! Thumbs Up

4 stars 2000: Rhapsody - Dawn of Victory - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lgAkqANOe5lGgyRLTLkicytEw_FLG_uDM

Holy Thunderforce! Luca Turilli and Rhapsody are marching back triumphantly with their third album of Symphonic Power Metal and they're not taking any prisoners this time. Oh, and watch out for the Trolls in the Dark. Ouch

Serenity: the best thing to emerge from Austria since Arnold Schwarzenegger first flexed his muscles as Hercules in New York. Smile

The Norwegian fjords are alive with the sound of Sirenia! After the growling Gothic Metal of their second album, this third album reveals The Other Side of Sirenia. Thumbs Up

2 stars 1993: Therion - Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n-xtaMFfj0Ll1JJ7kNinA0q6Ere2Fso0M

Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas (translation: avoid this album at all costs). This album is not so much a symphony as a cacophony. Therion's third album is definitely an improvement over their first and second Death Metal growlers, although that's hardly a great recommendation. In fact, you'd be better off skipping Therion's first four albums altogether and listening to Theli: their fifth album, recommended to me by a certain someone here who I'm not allowed to mention. Wink
