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.

It's a style of heavy metal mainly influenced by the speed of speed/thrash metal and the melodic attitude of NWOBHM bands like Iron Maiden.
As Metallica and Iron Maiden were two of the most successfull bands of the 80's underground scene, Power Metal was born as a synthesis of their styles.
Too bad, most of the bands who played this style sucked really hard. They just played the cheapest and most boring melodic patterns ever, faster than anyone before. It worked just becouse most of people have low musical expectation.

Dragonforce is one of the most terrible bands ever and it also the best example of why power metal sucks.

The most satanically blasphemous type of music known to exist. It is meant to praise the Necrowizard, and promote his unholy vision of Planet Norway! Some great ABM bands are: Impaled Northern Moonforest, ORGH, Nocturnal Blasphemy, Fjord of Fury, Morkk Pikk, Satanic Necrokvlt Lord, Inverted Blasphemous Moongoats of Norway etc.

To do the Nu-Metal Face:
1) PLace your clenched fists against the sides of your head, pressing in on your temples.
2) Contort your mouth and eyes in the way that you might if you were passing a really big shit
3) Rock back and forth slightly.
4) Scream "Noooo! I won't tidy my rooooom!!!" at the top of your pre-pubescent voice.
5) Repeat as necessary, occasionally pulling up the top of your Linkin Park hoodie for effect.
