Would tu consider bands like Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, o Apocalyptica "Symphonic Metal"?

Ehh...Apocolyptica I would, the other two not so much. They are más Gothic, which is generally about atmospheric keyboards than symphonics.

Good question.    Depending on the song. Most of their songs are orchestra metal.

Apocalytica could be classified as symphonic metal because of their música style. Lacuna Coil wouldn't count as symphonic metal. They're classified at gótico metal. evanescence does have some elements of gótico metal, but it's actually considered alternative rock.

No. The closest one would probably be Apocalyptica. I amor Lacuna Coil, and evanescence is my favorito! band, but I can't call them "symphonic metal". I would really just categorize them as "modern rock" o "normal rock". They both right great lyrics like a symphonic metal band, though.

Lacuna Coil and Apocalyptica yes. I amor evanescence but I think it's más rock o gótico metal.

Maybe apocalyptica but not the others.

I don't consider either Lacuna Coil o evanescence to be Symphonic Metal. evanescence seems más Modern Alternative Rock while Lacuna Coil seems to have más of a hard rock/metal (alternative) edge to their music. Apocalyptica seems más geared toward symphonic metal. though they maybe más avant garde type of band since they use cellos.
