It can also include black metal bands that make heavy usage of atmospheric keyboarding in the music, akin to symphonic metal or gothic metal, though these bands are often more commonly referred to as gothic black metal. The symphonic aspects of this genre are normally integral parts of a band, and as such are commonly feautred throughout the whole duration of a song, in contrast to melodic black metal which focuses more prominently on guitar melodys and solos.
Many black metal purists discount this genre as having nothing to do with 'black metal,' due to the heavy similarities some of its bigger bands hold with gothic metal. Claims that keyboards, female vocals and other characteristics derived from gothic metal are inconsistent with the essence of "true" black metal have often resulted in confusion between symphonic black metal and gothic metal bands. This controversy is further fueled by the usage of the term gothic black metal, which focuses on bands who place emphasis on elements borrowed from the other genre. Thy Serpent, Cradle of Filth, and Dimmu Borgir have all been subjects of this claim.
