Hi Lemmy
Not sure if this is the right community for requests, if not, mods feel free to delete this post.
After a long time I’m finally finding joy again in listening to music. Lately I’m into stuff that combines classical or symphonic instruments (i.e. brass, strings, piano) with modern music styles like electronica, pop or hip hop.
Stuff like the albums Symphonia or Deluxe by Schiller, or the OST of the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942.
Do you have any suggestions for similar tracks?
If you like metal there’s Septicflesh, Dimmu Borgir, and Flesgod Apocalypse
There’s much, MUCH more. I’d start with more mild stuff like Nightwish or such, though. And on the other side there are even obscure things like Sear Bliss :-)
Here’s Tiesto’s Adagio for Strings with a live orchestra
That’s cool, thanks! Immediately reminds me of the Homeworld intro scene.
I’d recommend some post-rock stuff too. Sigur Ros with symphonic orchestra is amazing.
Or things like Neil on impression, Nice wings Icarus, some Mono and such.
Symphonic metal is a huge and diverse genre! Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Kamelot are good places to start.
