Been on an Avenged Sevenfold kick lately, with a strong emphasis on songs like The Stage and Wicked End and most of their respective albums. I think it's technically progressive or symphonic metal, but it's got a pretty unique sound even within that category. Idk if 'theatric' makes sense, but I'm struggling to put to words what's setting their music apart in my head.

Anywho, I'm looking for more music that has a similar vibe, but running into the familiar problem of streaming services being trash when it comes to categorizing metal. Any recommendations?

I've never been all that big on A7, but Nightwish leaned hard into theatrical/movie score territory for a few albums. Some notables:

Dark Chest of Wonders
The Poet and the Pendulum
Elan
Ghost Love Score
One more: Last Ride of the Day
