Basically the only two that ever gained any kind of standing within the metal community are Fleshgod Apocalypse and Septicflesh. If you dig a bit deeper, you find Ex Deo which is only notable for being a side project of Katakylsm, and Dark Lunacy which is basically the only notable symphonic melodic death metal band. Everything below that is pretty much nothingburger bands that you would 100% have to go out of your way to find and are also probably split up. Not necessarily bad, just very obscure. Hollenthon is a band that existed and has rave reviews on the Metal Archives. Most "symphonic death metal" nowadays is symphonic deathCORE which is honestly pretty boring to me. If you want to have more material to go off of, I suggest switching to symphonic black metal, as there are many more notable bands within that subsubgenre and it overall got more traction amongst the metal community. Now, given that most symphonic death metal bands have failed to break through, you could also just keep it as is and just have that guy's band be one of the many that broke up due to accomplishing basically nothing, so in a weird way, your choice could be completely fine?
As for the other two, I'm a bit confused. Did the tall lady go through a weird phase in her teenage years? She looks way too refined to have EVER been into punk subculture. She's designed well but I also find the design odd. Is she the leader and also supposed to be some kind of femme fatale? You have to wonder why a researcher with glasses would be into fetish fashion (yeah, latex and leather zip-up catsuits are considered fetish fashion). I have little experience cutesy designs, so I can't comment too much on the idol pop lady, but I will say, FUCK suspenders, I have never seen an outfit made better by their presence, please get rid of them.
