Epica are definitely well known and liked within the genre, but compared to NIghtwish I don't think they're nearly as popular. They seem to have too much death metal influence and growling vocals for some fans. Not for me personally, Epica are my favorite in the genre, but I don't see them being as accessible as a band like Nightwish.

The metric is internet searches, and the OP says the data may be a bit off. There's a lot more ways to measure popularity: album and ticket sales, Spotify data, Facebook followers, etc. From the perspective of the band members, no matter how many times someone searches your name, if they don't BUY anything, you're not going to consider yourself successful. In terms of commercial success (how much money they make), for most of the past decade Nightwish has been #1 and Epica #2. The individual band members in Epica might even take home more cash than the members of Nightwish, because Epica tours about 3x as much, and I think they might have more equitable contracts. (All I'm sure about on this last point is that in 2020 Floor was complaining that she didn't make as much money as the guys did. The lady has 3 horses--I wouldn't complain if I made enough money that I could afford a home in Sweden and 3 horses! I'm pretty sure she brings in more money than her husband, too.)

Well they occupy according to this video since 2004. Many of us are to assume that they were the most popular before then. Because remember they gained lots of attention the 1-2 years before Tarja left. So anything before like 2003, they weren't Almighty. Also why start in 2004 and not the year the genre Symphonic Metal started. Why start at the random year of 2004. So ot isn't technically their throne, ot was someone elses, they just stole it. Plus Anette doesnt get enough credit, she did after all help propel Nightwish to the mainstream audience making Nightwish more accessible. That's they only reason why they are as big as they are. Not to take away from there talent, they are all super talented and awesome artists. But because lets say a band like Epica, who is heavier and contains growls pulls them back from the mainstream audience. Plus Symphonic Metal has multiple subgenres that should have there own history progression like this one. Because so many other good yet unknown symponic metal bands are out there but cant be shown because of the bigger bands.

@@Quintessence61 Firstly, I never threw any hate at Nightwish. Period. And no, if a piece of information is skewed or inaccurate, there a probably more inaccuracies present. But that's not the point. My point was that Nightwish is more accessible. That's why they are more popular. My favorite band is Epica and by no means is Epica more popular than Nightwish. And I know the reason why. It isn't because Nightwish music is better or Epica is worse. It's simply, Epica has more complexities that most mainstream people dont like to listen to, example growling. A lot of people dont like that which in turn boosts Nightwish and turns people off from Epica. You literally are misunderstanding the point and accusing me of trashing Nightwish, which I didnt. Now maybe another person did, but I didnt. I also simply pointed out that Symphonic Metal is a large gente filled with different subgenres itself. Like you wouldn't compare Nightwish and Fleshgod Apocalypse now would you? No, you wouldnt. Just because they both identify as Symphonic Metal doesnt mean they need to be conpared. One is more folk while the other is more extreme and death metal. That's my point. Plus I also stated that everyone in Nightwish is extremely talented. But you have to look at what makes a band popular and what makes a band less popular. You can have talent, loads of it, but its the audience you cater to that brings the popular. Nightwish's literary goal was to sound different and appeal to a different audience after Tarja left, hence they made more mainstream, poppy music for the "Poppy" singer Anette. That drew people from North America and Latin America over to them. I hope you understand my view on this a little more. I'm not trying to degrade Nightwish but simply tell why they are the most popular at this point in historh what's stopping other bands from closing in.

Sort of like "Epica band" or "Nightwish band" If they just put the band name that would mean that this whole chart is incorrect as that would mean they would have to adjust Nightwish, Within Temptation, Kamelot, all of them. But yeah, we shouldn't put any band against each other. Just listena and enjoy. Most popular doesnt mean the best or most liked.

Nightwish ranking highly at top, followed by Within Temptation for most of the time, then Epica joining as the third contender... this sums up the history of the genre quite well.

I got into Nightwish (and metal) through YT reactions then continued with bands recommended on those videos, then further on based on connections of the band members (old bands, features, support bands, side projects ...spouses 😅 ). Nightwish definitely got a lot of my money but also generated purchases for most of those other bands.

It's crazy to see just how big Nightwish is/was compared to everyone else. It's hard to beat when someone's gone so popular, they're even playing your music on the radio for the non-metal folks. :P But... is Sonata Arctica really a symphonic metal band? Not speed/power?

Not to discredit any of these bands and their popularity, but any list that's solely based on internet searches will certainly favor some bands way more than others. "Haggard", for example, is a single word that may be googled for whatever reason other than actually checking this band out. Meanwhile, "After forever" just so happens to also be the name of a movie that came out in 2022, thereby spiking interest in the name for completely different reasons. Luckily, most bands in the genre has very unique names though, so the rest of the list may be fairly accurate.

the best is always going to be a subjective thing. I think Nightwish have the most unique sound, and to be fair I don't even know if they are really symphonic metal as they tend to wander all over the place and always have. Originally they were more gothic metal and now more folk influenced. Epica is probably the most "symphonic metal" in the list but their sound is much more similar to most of the other bands.

my top three would've been Epica over Nightwish because I'm not a huge fan of Nightwish sadly, Old Kamelot do miss the original singer of Kamelot then fight between Xandria or Delain as my top three choices that are on repeat for me. Though I have never heard of Haggard before would they be worth checking out?

Yo creo que aquí en México, Epica ya es un poco más conocido que Nightwish, sobre todo entre la gente que o no es fan del sinfónico o no escucha metal como tal, he visto que es más fácil que ubiquen el nombre de Epica que el de Nightwish, tampoco me sorprendería que la innegable belleza y talento de Simone Simons tengan que ver en eso.

What is of real interest to me is the overall drop of interest in the genre itself. Back in 2005 the number of searches in the top few bands numbers in the million, and now in late 2022 Nightwish can only muster around 300K searches, indicating Symphonic Metal isn't gaining a lot of new followers.
