>this metal band was heavily influenced by classical composers

which one?

Hey for symphonic metal it'd make sense

It's also entirely possible to take inspiration from things while not resembling them at all. Infinite Jest may be a major inspiration like me but I can't write like David foster Wallace

>Neoclassical metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that is heavily influenced by classical music and usually features very technical playing,[1][Note 1] consisting of elements borrowed from both classical and speed metal music. Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore pioneered the subgenre by merging classical melodies and blues rock. Later, Yngwie Malmsteen became one of the most notable musicians in the subgenre, and contributed greatly to the development of the style in the 1980s.[1][Note 2][2] Other notable players in the genre are Randy Rhoads, Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Uli Jon Roth, Stéphan Forté and Timo Tolkki.[1][Note 3]


>On the other hand, neoclassical metal music does not restrict itself to a return to classical aesthetic ideals, such as equilibrium and formalism. Its influences include both the Romantic musical period and the Baroque period of the seventeenth and first half of the eighteenth centuries. The music of late Baroque composers such as Vivaldi, Handel and Bach was often highly ornate. Neoclassical metal musicians such as Yngwie J. Malmsteen and Joshua Perahia are inspired by this aspect of Baroque music[1][Note 4] and also by later composers such as the violinist Niccolò Paganini in using runs and other decorative and showy techniques in their performances. Neoclassical metal music thus looks to classical music as broadly understood by the general public and not to the more specialist technical definition used within classical circles.

no
that's just generic metal with classical decoration
give me metal that's actually composed with the kind of consideration that a composer from 1700 would give to it

not him but you're not worthy of being called a human being if you think symphonic metal was ever good and at the same level as classical music

>>71518505
I don't think it's autistic. Having some surface level stylistic similarities isn't really going to satisfy most classical listeners because it's missing the massive overarching thematic developments or the thoughtful orchestration or the advanced harmonies, etc.
Having a baroque sounding melody doesn't give a metal piece the same appeal as a bach fugue.

Oh boy, another facebookfrog thread that 404s with less than 40 posts. How original.

Oh boy, another post decrying the vapidity of trolling. How original.

The Human Abstract's last album, I guess.

Gorguts, Jute Gyte, any band where the main songwriter studied music and heavily takes from modernism and 20th century avant-garde music. Incidentally, here's some of the best black metal you'll hear all year:
