I concur. With all the metal happening it's not hard to get a sense of grandiosity with just a few orchestral elements added on top. It's not impossible to use lower instruments, though. It just has to be done carefully. I've mentioned Septicflesh before as an example. There are passages of just orchestra, drums and maybe vocals, which is actually kind of cool.
The track is sounding cool, though! I like the synth elements, and it's making me miss my seven string.
