symphonic rock
Classical-influenced rock
Symphonic rock is rock music that incorporates elements of classical music—orchestral instruments, complex arrangements, dramatic dynamics, and extended compositions.
The genre emerged in the late 1960s and flourished in the 1970s with bands like Yes, Genesis, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
Their new album blends symphonic rock with electronic elements.
