Maiden has been singing about war since Run for the Hills. They are a power metal band that just replaces the fantastical with the historical. Just like Iron Savior and Gamma Ray lean toward the Sci-Fi.

When I think symphonic metal, I think of the female-led bands like Nightwish, Epica, Delain, etc. Ghost does reach some very high notes though. I will be seeing them in May at Rock on the Range.

It is more their arrangements. Like I said, it is hard to pin down their style since they change it up quite a bit.
