I would probably throw Ghost into the symphonic metal category but they usually span several categories.

Sabaton is in its own subgenre I like to call War Metal. They are like the Gordon Lightfoot of metal singing about WWII.

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.
