Symphonism

An over-glorification of a school symphony band and/or marching band. Often frowned upon, generally disliked or absolutely hated by anyone that is not a part of the band because of the band members' air of superiority, weirdness, and overall annoyingness.

Guy 1: Dude, I hate those band geeks. They're so goddamn annoying.

Guy 2: Yeah, seriously. Our school is a total symphonism.

symphonic metal

Simply the best subgenre of metal out there. Combines the distorted guitars and powerful drums of metal with the beautiful symphonic sound of classical orchestra instruments, such as violins, pianos, cellos, etc.

Some great symphonic metal bands include: Rhapsody of Fire, Therion, Symphony X, Nightwish, Kamelot, Angra, and more

symphonic metal

The best kind of metal there is out there. It's got the hardcore drums and guitars of heavy metal, but most of the time beautiful symphonies (like in classical music) are added, mainly by instruments such as acoustic guitar, piano, keyboard, violin. In other words, a brilliant work of art.

Some good symphonic metal bands are Within Temptation, Epica, Delain, Nightwish, Otep, Leaves' Eyes, and Tristania.

Symphonic Black Metal 

Symphonic Black Metal is essentially the Black Metal equivalent of Melodic Death Metal, only (as the name states) is more related to a symphony.

Symphonic Black Metal uses Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, and on occasions Symphony instruments such as Violins, Cellos, etc.

Dimmu Borgir is my favorite Symphonic Black Metal band.

Tales of Symphonia 

An RPG for the Gamecube produced by Namco. Has an awesome battle system and tons of length. A fast-paced adventure illuminated by very lively and lovable characters, plus an involving plot that is absolutely GREAT if you love twists. This game does not receive the true glory it deserves.

Each character in Tales of Symphonia is a masterpiece in all aspects, including dialogue, the relationship/affection system, voice, and design. Except Colette *cough* (and especially Mithos, Kratos, Raine, and maybe Lloyd...? His voice, Scott Menville, is very good).

Basically, ToS is much more deep, memorable, and especially fun to play than similar Japanese RPGs (e.g., Final Fantasy or Grandia, which to me are SACRED enough already). Everyone should experience it.

"Tales of Symphonia means everything to me. I'll revert this whole world to nothingness."
