When referring to bands from other genres, it refers to bands who use minor classical and operatic themes in the bands music similar as to what is found in the symphonic metal genre, to show they are more “symphonic” than normal bands of their genre. “Symphonic” can also describe metal with elements resembling non-symphonic classical music, although this definition is not frequently used.

Musical characteristics
——
Symphonic metal as a genre takes much of its musical basis from early gothic metal, power metal, and classical music.
The guitar and bassline work in the genre often follows the pattern of its originator, gothic metal, by synthesizing other metal styles of guitar. Genres commonly synthesized in this fashion include black metal, death metal, power metal, and progressive metal sometimes with the addition of elements from rock music.
