The music is characterized by its grandiose and epic sound, often featuring soaring melodies, complex arrangements, and powerful vocals. Symphonic metal bands often use a combination of clean and harsh vocals, and lyrics often explore themes of fantasy, mythology, and epic storytelling. The genre has gained popularity in recent years, with bands such as Nightwish, Within Temptation, and Amaranthe leading the way.
