Topic: post-70s Symphonic bands Posted: April 23 2014 at 04:56 |
This is not about symphonic bands continuing after the 70s, this is about symphonic bands that first formed after the 70s.
I know I've omitted quite a few,but hey. I'll add them in "other" spaces as and when you suggest them

Just known the last album from Willowglass - The Dream Harbour and enjoyed it, Andrew Marshall is a talented composer who found his own style, interesting that he managed to release a whole only instrumental album. I think zravkapt should have also included another worth mentioning album from 2013: Unreal City - La Crudelta Di Aprile, this is really another nice example of a original blend of the modern with 70's symphonic style.

White Willow has an interesting soundscape but i felt them excessively folk for me to enjoy them better, maybe beacuse i knew only the albums Ignus Factus and Storm Season, from which i only care for "Sally Left" and "The Withering Of The Boughs" (this from Ignus Factus).

From the list I'll vote Bacamarte but I'd like to mention Amenophis and Terpandre, both superb and highly recommended for any symphonic fan.

Some good bands, but Discipline is uncontested here, the more because Echolyn has not entered the field yet.

Amenophis' "Notre Dame Tres Honorable" and "Venus" are the ones i enjoyed from their debut album, is there any others you'd suggest me ? Have you already listened to their brand new 2014 album "Time"?

Never was into any of these. Probably about time, though, that I give Anglagard another chance.

They're certainly very folky on the first two albums, Ignis Fatuus The Withering of the Boughs is an excellent song BTW) and Ex Tenebris, but it's much more balanced on Sacrament and there's virtually no folk at all on Storm Season. Signal to Noise is a bit more Neo Prog in tone and Terminal Twilight is an exceptional Symph Prog album, evoking the classics without sounding like any of them.

Between Anglagard and Discipline. I personally like their stuff better than most of their 70s ancestors. Hmm... this is tough! If pressed... Anglagard overall, but Discipline has the best individual album with Unfolded Like Staircase. That album is perfect to my ears and sits in my top 5 for sure.
