[spoiler=Synchro Monsters]
Aggravated Aria of the Shinigami Symphony
DARK - Level 4 - Fiend/Synchro/Tuner/Effect - 1600/1600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this monster is Synchro Summoned successfully, your opponent must banish cards from the top of their Deck equal to the number of "Shinigami Symphony" monsters that were Synchro Material for this monster. If you use this monster as Synchro Material for a "Shinigami Symphony" Synchro monster, your opponent must select and banish 1 card in their hand face-down.

Belligerent Ballad of the Shinigami Symphony
DARK - Level 5 - Fiend/Synchro/Effect - 2000/1600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
If all of this monster's Synchro Materials were "Shinigami Symphony" monsters, all cards on your opponent's side of the field whose effects activate during the turn this monster was Synchro Summoned are banished during the End Phase of that turn. If this card is banished for the effect of another "Shinigami Symphony" monster, your opponent must banish the monster in their Graveyard with the highest original ATK.

Cruel Concerto of the Shinigami Symphony
DARK - Level 6 - Fiend/Synchro/Effect - 2400/1600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this monster is Synchro Summoned successfully, banish 1 "Shinigami Symphony" Pendulum monster from your Graveyard, and activate its effect. When the effect of a "Shinigami Symphony" monster (except "Cruel Concerto of the Shinigami Symphony") would banish one or more cards from your opponent's hand, Deck, or Graveyard, your opponent must select another card from their hand, Deck, or Graveyard and banish it face-down.

Desolate Discord of the Shinigami Symphony
DARK - Level 7 - Fiend/Synchro/Effect - 2000/2800
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this monster is Synchro Summoned successfully, you can reveal up to 3 "Shinigami Symphony" cards in your hand: your opponent must banish an equal number of cards from the top of their Deck. During each of your Draw Phases, banish 1 card at random from your Graveyard. If that card is a "Shinigami Symphony" card, the ATK of all monsters your opponent controls is reduced by 2000 during this turn.

Hellish Harmony of the Shinigami Symphony
DARK - Level 11 - Fiend/Synchro/Effect - 4400/4400
1 "Shinigami Symphony" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner "Shinigami Symphony" monsters
Must be Synchro Summoned using the above materials and cannot be Summoned by other ways. Control of this card cannot switch. When this monster is Synchro Summoned successfully, send cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard until you send a "Shinigami Symphony" monster. Your opponent must then banish an equal number of cards from the top of their Deck. As long as this monster is face-up on your side of the field, you can select 1 card from your Banished Zone to add to your hand instead of conducting your normal Draw during your Draw Phase. If this monster is destroyed by your opponent's card effect, you can Special Summon 1 "Shinigami Symphony" Synchro monster from your Extra Deck, except "Hellish Harmony of the Shinigami Symphony" (this counts as a Synchro Summon).

I plan on there being an Extra Deck, composed primarily of Synchro monsters, but I'm feeling idea bankrupt at the moment.

These look really cool! The theme is pretty interesting, the cards are nicely balanced, the naming scheme is neat, and they've got an interesting type and attribute combination. The only thing I'd change is making it so you can only have one Opening Number on the field at a time, to prevent drawing a bunch off of Pendulum Summons.

[Tinkerer]

Darn, I thought these were gonna be the ones from the "Archetype Game" that I described...

 

Ah well! These look cool too though, a disruptive banish archetype. The only real problem I see is finding a consistent way of getting them to the grave since they are grave-reliant but are pendulum monsters.

[Draconus297]

I'm getting there, I'm getting there. It is my hope that someone won't need cards from outside the archetype, and thus every turn is tripping the effects of the musicians.

 

Fix made.

[Draconus297]

Bump- added Trap Cards.
