Here's a list of albums that are so obscure it's almost a crime. The list is ordered so that albums scoring high in both obscurity and quality are near the top.

WORK IN PROGRESS. Some of the albums ending up here may already be "Metal Storm approved", but this might be used for broader reference.

1.Skein - Of Wings Unfolding

2.Oddland - The Treachery Of Senses

3.Turbid North - Orogeny

4.Chaos Divine - The Human Connection

5.Anthriel - The Pathway

Nightwish, Dimmu Borgir, Septicflesh and their respective clones are not welcome here. The title is a bit misleading since none of these albums are 'symphonic metal' per se, but they're metal with symphonic/orchestra elements added in a way that's unconventional, or at least as far as I know. Suggestions welcome.

1.Apocalyptica - Plays Metallica By Four Cellos

2.Aquilus - Griseus

3.Blind Guardian - At The Edge Of Time

4.Blood Thirsty - Sanguine River Absolution

5.Igorrr - Hallelujah
