Been on an Avenged Sevenfold kick lately, with a strong emphasis on songs like The Stage and Wicked End and most of their respective albums. I think it’s technically progressive or symphonic metal, but it’s got a pretty unique sound even within that category. Idk if ‘theatric’ makes sense, but I’m struggling to put to words what’s setting their music apart in my head.

Anywho, I’m looking for more music that has a similar vibe, but running into the familiar problem of streaming services being trash when it comes to categorizing metal. Any recommendations?

    Never dug anything A7X but as you describe this “theatrical” metal (or at least what I can understand) I only can think of Ayreon.
