And Symphonic/Power Metal ROCKS!Here's a link to the downloads section of <a href="http://www.symphonyx.com/audio.html" target="_blank">Symphony X</a>, an amazing band. You get a few songs off each album, for free, and can listen to most of the other albums in another section of 'Audio'. * Recommended Download: Inferno (Unleash The Fire) a wicked song with an awesome guitar riff.* Recommended Listen: The Odessey. A 25 minute audio representation of the greek epic bearing the same name. Buy this CD; it's wroth it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />* Recommended CD: The Odessey is a great album, and with a 25 minute-long song, more than worht your money.<a href="http://www.rhapsodyoffire.com/index.php" target="_blank">Rhapsody of Fire</a> (previously just Rhapsody) are another awesome Power Metal band. I first got into this genre through them, and they kick some ass!* Recommended CD: Power of the Dragonflame. The song of the same name on this album ROCKS! * See also: Symphony of Enchanted Lands. Emerald Sword is another awesome Power Metal Song.<a href="http://www.gamma-ray.com/" target="_blank">Gamma Ray</a> (not the greatest pic on their page...) is a band I've heard a lot from, but don't have an album... yet. Some awesome tunes though, trust me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />For those who mix pain with pleasure, here are some Symphonic Black Metal bands, and associates. A little more hardcore, a little more heavy and evil, you could say...<a href="http://www.cradleoffilth.com/cof/main_page_800x600.htm" target="_blank">Cradle of Filth</a> is a bad-ass band with an ever-changing sound. They started off as pure black metal, but branched off on an album they did while under Sony. Got a group of monks and everything in there to record that record! You can also download a few songs <a href="http://www.cradleoffilth.com/cof/main_page_800x600.htm" target="_blank">here</a>.* Recommended CD: Damantion and a Day. A mix of brutal bacl metal and symphonic metal in one tight-ass package, this will really appeal to those who like stuff like Lamb of God, In Flames, etc.* Recommended Song: Hurt and Virtue. A testimony to the fact that Symphony Metal and Black metal can be molded into one kick-ass song!<a href="http://www.cobhc.com/index.php?id=news" target="_blank">Children of Bodom</a> is a uber awesome Symphonic Thrash Metal band with some great flow in their music.* Recommended Album: Follow the Reaper. A perfect mix of thrash and symphonic metal, this album is just great - and not TOO hardcore.* Recommended Song: Children of Decadence is probably the best song on this cd, but Bodom After Midnight and Follow the Reaper are both *very* close follow-ups.Also, Rammstein has 2 songs which are definitly Power Metal: Mein Herz Brent (My Heart Burns off the cd Mutter) and Mann Geigen Mann (Man Against Man, off of Rosenrot). Both awe great songs, and I recommend listening to Rammstein in general - they are an awesome band, methinks <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />That's about all I can think of for now, but I'll glady answer any more questions to the best of my ability <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
