A castrated version of metal that uses orchestra sounds to back up the fact that they can't come up with a good guitar riff.
Good example symphonic metal band would be Epica. Where's the balls? Where's the soul? All those guys do is chug all day.
On a side note, though, I'd totally do their singer.

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.

A subgenre of heavy metal taking inspiration from Symphonic Black Metal and features lyrics about life in Finland and the mistrust of Finnish Christianity, and glorifying the Warlike Pagan lifestyles of the neighboring countries' history. The lyrics focus on the solution to the mundane Finnish lifestyle being the Apocalypse. The only band that plays this currently is Impaled Rektum.
"You guys look like a weird heavy metal band"
"Yes, we are a band"
"Really? What do you play?"
"Symphonic Post-Apocalyptic Reindeer-Grinding Christ-Abusing Extreme War Pagan Fennoscandian metal"
