Someone help me out here. I like black / melodic death metal, especially when there's symphonic / orchestral elements that sound legit/organic and not like corny synthesizer. An example would be Rotting Christ's Theogonia in 2007:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCtgeqK--k0&t=903s

Recently I stumbled on Shade Empire and I can't get enough:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEGTA3w4LA4&t=74s

Are there any other bands that are in this kind of darker style and but weave all these string-section riffs, trumpet solos, world music into the forefront? I looked it up and the guy who did the instrumentals for Shade Empire is Mikko P. Mustonen, but all his other works seem to be in the upbeat Power Metal realm. Like I wanna find orchestral jams that are more like the two clips I put, and less like pirate-rock Power Metal or wanky prog like Opeth. If that makes any sense.

also I'm going through this list but so far they all blow!!!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_symphonic_black_metal_bands

Check Rotting Christ's contemporaries Septic Flesh. Some of their later stuff goes a bit too far up their own rear end with the symphonic stuff IMO, but Communion is rad as hell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKevUGKPtIQ

Also, they're not like a full symphonic band, but Sear Bliss has an actual real Trombone player as a permanent member and they're cool as hell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHt7j83ASPQ

And an obscure grind/death project called Fist in Fetus, reminds me of the Shade Empire clip there

Why is Finland so much better at this poo poo than.. everyone? Why doesn't every other band invite random session saxophonists to solo over their tracks? Has there ever been a song that hasn't been improved by a sax solo?

This is supposed to be the worse sax solo on the planet and it STILL improves the song!:

I mean, yeah it's getting a little wanky, but I gotta respect the fact that they bought a full symphony orchestra, conductor, and choir for the concert. That's what I'm talking about.. production values!

Symphonic black metal mostly blows or is made of fascist, often both

That's kind of a weird thing to say because most symphonic stuff isn't particularly right wing(if anything it tends towards the more commercial end of black metal) and not many nsbm bands make much use of keyboards.

Sax has its moments but it’s still the instrument most likely to ruin a song just by being there.

I posted a month or so ago about my friend from Spain who had done a solo melodic album, few people listened and liked it. He actually has a brand new project called Ad Libitum that is going to be debuting a new song on Monday. Diego is really pumped about this group and it's a collection of some of the best musicians from Galicia Spain. Here is a link to a clip of their song Invictus on FB

https://fb.watch/1MmfLYNENm/

Here is their youtube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2MWObmsYsw-VVPBUHsf5Bw

Invictus is going to debut in ~ 36 hours. I haven't heard the song yet but the clip I heard was great.

Not the best sound quality, but Metallica released a live show from The Metro in Chicago on their first US tour opening for Raven in 1983. Definitely the earliest show from all of the live sets they've been releasing in quarantine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abDLUhw-53w

Obscene Extreme Fest has a lot of 3 song clips from various performances over the years, the Napalm Death ones are good, and there's lots of bands where their performance there is the best sounding live stuff they have, like Rompeprop & Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation

Keep it True Festival have been posting "TV specials" periodically that recap a couple of KIT festivals apiece with a mixture of organizer/band interviews and performances, they also have a couple full performances on their YouTube page like this Manilla Road show as well as Mark Shelton tribute show:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj21REqWlVo

This one has a Brocas Helm performance:

Knotfest has been uploading some concerts, but most of them are taken down after a day or two, they still have this Meshuggah show from 2019 and an upload of the Type O Negative DVD After Dark:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESSOqLY8a1k

Brutal Assault have their own page but it's all clips no full sets:

Oh hey my quest for symphonic death/black metal led me to a newly released album:

I always forget these guys exist because any time I try to recall Mors Principium Est, my brain morphs the latin gibberish into Omnium Gatherum and I go listen to those dudes instead.

This isn't quite as heavy on the orchestrations as the stuff we were doing upthread but they sprinkle plenty in.

Metal band VHS home videos really are a lost art. I remember when it seemed like every band had one, especially in the hair metal era. Also a 900 number you could call where you'd pay like $2/minute just to hear a pre-recorded message. I always wondered how much bands actually made from those.
