I guess Dream Theater could be a symphonic metal band, I prefer their instrumentals, cause their singer is not my favorite.

^ And yeah, I'll think Symphony X is a great mention.

Last month I found two names that seems to be really interesting.

Ihsahn - IHSAHN on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Former singer of black metal band Emperor. Now he has 3 solo albums. I like the last one very much (After) - interesting metal with saxophone, strange sound but great and very inspirative.

Leprous - Leprous on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

This band plays now with Ihsahn on summer music festivals. Sound for open-minded metalheads

They have between influences such names like Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation, Tool... and also classical music

If you like progressive metal and don't know about these two names, I really recommend

Ihsahn is an amazing musician. His stuff with Emperor had such a huge influence on some of the more recent symphonic black metal bands and he's done a lot of work with the more avant-garde/post-black metal genres.

If you liked his solo albums (I would highly recommend checking out The Adversary and angL) then you would definitely like Peccatum, specifically the album Lost in Reverie. The band features his wife, Ihriel, on vocals so there's this really cool dynamic between the two.

Thanks, I know all three albums but After seems to be my favourite.

Ok, I will try Peccatum, I love contrast of male and female voice together. Interesting recommendation
