    I've discovered my own little genre of music that I've absolutely fallen in love with. Mostly female singers.

    It's a mixture of rock and opera (not the stereotypical kind), and it's...just different. It's dramatic, and you don't see that in plain rock (read: Metallica, 3days Grace, etc).

    Lots of the songs are very meaningful, and I find myself..attached to them.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwES9M0isVM <-- Favorite instrumental piece (very few of them on the station)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYrQvOptrDA <-- This song emotionally moves me every time I listen to it. Very romantic, very hopeful.

    Some artists~
    -Nightwish
    -Tarja
    -Todesbonden
    -Within Temptation (<3)

    Anyone else discover/listen to this awesome genre?

    Welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal, featuring backing strings and classical instruments fronted by raging drums and brutal guitars, with sweet sopranos and deathly growls.

    It and power metal are my two favorite subgenres of heavy metal.

    Also, try out some Epica for size.

    Regrettably, I can't listen to power metal and symphonic metal because it makes me depressed.

    Dear Pandora Visitor,

    We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

    We believe that you are in United Arab Emirates (your IP address appears to be 83.110.96.87). If you believe we have made a mistake, we apologize and ask that you please email us.

    If you have been using Pandora, we will keep a record of your existing stations and bookmarked artists and songs, so that when we are able to launch in your country, they will be waiting for you.

    We will be notifying listeners as licensing agreements are established in individual countries. If you would like to be notified by email when Pandora is available in your country, please enter your email address below. The pace of global licensing is hard to predict, but we have the ultimate goal of being able to offer our service everywhere.

    We share your disappointment and greatly appreciate your understanding.

    Sincerely,



    Tim Westergren
    Founder

    Enter your email address and we will let you know when Pandora is available in your country:

    ALL of the above artists are on my station.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one, either.

    It's actually weird...before all I listened to was hard rock/metal.

    Ahhhh, grindcore and it's derivatives. Pornogrind and Goregrind are perhaps the most vulgar, filthy, ear-raping, mind-fucking genres of metal that exist, lacking both rhyme and rhythm, seemingly existing only to offend people.

    Somehow though, it makes more sense than crapcore.

    Cyberporngrind I think they call it, but too much useless genrefaggotry

    and I thought that crapcore made more sense in the sense that it didn't make a lot of sense :confused: .

    Also wookie I love Excrementory Grindfuckers, (and that's at least the 2nd time you have posted that song on these forums).

    also needs more grind.

    Man that's awesome, I never knew this genre existed yet I've always wanted to listen to something like it. Usually metal turns me away because it's listeners are tools and their vocalist are complete trash. This symphonic metal is like, Pink Floyd meets Vocal Trance.

    Mahti, both our posts are complete dejavu. I own a jacket with Within Tempations signatures on it, because I was waiting in line for autograms of a different band and then those fuckers came and I couldn't escape. Now I do own a hate-jacket :)

    I don't understand that genre and masturbate to this instead.
