The new Killswitch has a much more melodic feel to their songs, and largely they have lost their "edge" they had in their first two albums with the original vocalist. JMHO, of course.Symphonic Metal is a sub-genre of metal stylized by a specific "symphonic" feel of the songs - keyboards are fairly prevalent in the genre, as well as clean vocals. Many bands try to give a symphonic sound to their songs - as if the band is being backed by a whole orchestra. In the recording process, some bands even do go to such a length.Largely, this genre has a lot of overlap with power metal, but bands like Rhapsody are obviously power metal, while Nightwish (for example) has none of the power metal feel to it - it's purely a symphonic sound to their music. That's about all I can think of saying about this.I'm actually just getting into industrial. I've always kinda dabbled in bands who they themselves have an 'industrial'-like feel to them (Crossbreed, Static-X, The Clay People, Rammstein, Spineshank), but I dated a girl back in December who introduced me to CombiChrist, :wumpscut:, Ministry, Skinny Puppy and some others, and I found myself especially liking :wumpscut: and CombiChrist. Ministry and Skinny Puppy I haven't even really listened to, lol. In any case, I have to say I'm rather liking this small smattering of industrial bands, and some of the industrial metal bands I listed (namely, Rammstein and Static-X, though both have a variety of other genre influences in their sound) count among my very favourite bands.Yourself?cheers,--N</blockquote>
