The Hall of Judgement: Fleshgod Apocalypse - Opera

shadowdoom9 (Andi) has requested that this release be submitted into the Hall of Judgement. If you agree with the below change request, vote YES. If you don't, vote NO.

Request: Fleshgod Apocalypse's "Opera" album should be added to The Guardians on top of its existing position in The Horde.

This change will add the Symphonic Metal genre to the release.

Member comment: "I remember earlier on, we talked about Fleshgod Apocalypse being a much more suitable band for The Horde instead of The Guardians. That is definitely true for their 2000s/2010s albums, but their newest album Opera has some Guardians potential, with emphasis on heavy/power metal-based symphonic metal in great display. Many songs have the epic melodic riffing and the occasional galloping speed of power metal. That, along with grand usage of bombastic orchestra and soprano vocals, the latter being more prominent than before with Veronica Bordacchini becoming a full-time member and taking over on all clean singing, brings things closer to a more extreme Epica/Trail of Tears. So, I'd like to submit Fleshgod Apocalypse's 'Opera' to the Hall to be added to The Guardians as symphonic metal, while maintaining its position in The Horde and symphonic death metal."

NOTE: Only members of The Horde &/or The Guardians can vote on this judgement. Once 15 votes of Yes or No have been entered, the Hall will make its judgement.
