One of the many bands Jan Axel von Blomberg (Hellhammer of Mayhem and Dimmu Borgir fame) splits his time between.
Formed in 1998, "NeoClassical" Metal, with Jan, Andy Winter (piano) and Carl August Tidemann on lead guitar, it is very strongly based on traditional classical composition styles. Nothing brutal to it, it's purely about the musicianship. It's music for those who appreciate subtlety,(the progressiveness IS there)..not really the forte of most of us Metal lovers, lol.
I always am amazed at the other outlets so many of these "TR00 KVLT" guys have. Makes it even more laughable how gullible so many Black Metal fans are, with all the elitism it breeds.

MQ- Thoughts?
MQ2- Top 10 Neo-Classical/ Symphonic/ Orchestral Metal bands?
MQ3- Top 5 Hellhammer tracks (the Drummer, not the band)
BQ- What are some of your favorite non Black Metal side bands by Black Metal musicians?
@Shred.. well the fact it is built around traditional Classical Scales would be one good reason. The fact it is all composed and written by a noted Classical Pianist with an mini Orchestra might be part of it too. Symphonic being..you know.. related to the whole Classical concept. (Just cuz a butt munch like Yngwie hijacked the term to mean guitar wankery doesn't mean everyone has to follow suit) And SoaD.. REALLY? You been sipping fermented bean curd again?
