Nightwish though has entirely different playing style. But well, that's a matter of opinion :v

That's true. I'm not ruling it out completely, just saying in past experience it's not meshed well with metal. Obviously it will vary from band to band a bit.

Lol, sorry, I forgot to reply xD

Tbh I partially agree. I heard plenty of bands that attempt to put symphony in their music and result is... rather poor. Mostly, because such bands often focus on such sound so much they start ignoring what metal is about - guitar riffs :v
