Would Ты consider bands like Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, или Apocalyptica "Symphonic Metal"?

Ehh...Apocolyptica I would, the other two not so much. They are еще 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 Музыка style. Lacuna Coil wouldn't count as symphonic metal. They're classified at Готика metal. Evanescence does have some elements of Готика metal, but it's actually considered alternative rock.

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

Lacuna Coil and Apocalyptica yes. I Любовь Evanescence but I think it's еще rock или Готика metal.

Maybe apocalyptica but not the others.

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