Not much to add to this large list...

Manticora, Jag Panzer, Adagio, Kamelot, Dragonland...as already mentioned...are awesome. Definitely can't go wrong with Symphony X!!! or Epica for that matter.

Persuader (a bit like Manticora), Pyramaze, Rebellion, Masterplan...all great bands. These cover more of the power metal side.

Nevermore and Communic as mentioned are the heavier side of power metal. More progressive and even some thrash.

Wuthering Heights is a great folk influenced power metal band. Falconer is also damn good metal with non-metal vocals (he's an amazing singer, but definitely not a metal singer).

We like the exact same PM!

lol! wow we really do! Nice

Yeah me too! I thought it wouldn't be so good without the mighty Chris Broderick, but its still very good. Casting the Stones is still my favourite album by them though.

I like the new one and Thane to the Throne the best!

Has anyone said Dream Evil yet?

LOL!

Thane to the Throne has some great songs no doubt.

Anyone who knows Ancient Bard??

I would recommend some Savatage (if you don't know them already)

Tad Morose, already mentioned, really deserves some attention, it's a great power/prog band indeed.

the three Masterplan albums with Jorn Lande are highly recommended as well.

Somone said on the last page but I wish to reemphasize Dark Moor, especially Hall of the Olden Dreams. They use a female vocalist but she has a very strong and unique voice, as well as seems to be one of those bands that can do the stereotypical symphonic power metal without sounding cheesy.

Some advertisement will follow, heads down I would have made an own topic but the rules of 100 post... So maybe this fits in here. Anyway here´s the press release:

MERGING FLARE: "Reverence" out 11.5.2011


The finest piece of Finnish melodic heavy metal in ages!
Disentertainment will release "Reverence", the debut album of the Finnish
band Merging Flare. The album will hit the stores on May 11th 2011. Before
this the group has released one split single and two demos. Merging
Flare has also performed some highlighted gigs in Finland playing at
festivals with such acts as Blaze Bayley, Enforcer, Nightingale
and Seventh Wonder.

The music of Merging Flare represents the highest level of
musicianship packed in a melodic heavy metal style that combines
influences from bands like Accept, Judas Priest and Helloween with
massive Queen-esque choirs and spices from the 80′s game music genre.

"Reverence" will also feature a special guest appereance by Kai Hansen
(Gamma Ray, ex- Helloween), the German power metal godfather, on four
tracks of the album.

"Reverence" was recorded and mixed at Content Union Studio by Eero
Kaukomies and mastered at Unisound Studio by the beast himself, legendary Dan Swanö.

The band promises that the production on this album is crisp and a vital
nod to the old school, summoning the spirit of 80′s metal back to
life.

The album consists of 11 songs:

1. At Daggers Drawn
2. Faker
3. Carved in Stone
4. Terrordome
5. In the Line of Fire
6. Steel Redeemer
7. Pride and Bravery
8. Killing Ground
9. Under the Fire
10. Star Odyssey
11. Sign of the Crimson Storm (Riot Cover)

Members of the band have previously shared their talent for example in
the following bands: Amberian Dawn, Heavy Metal Perse, Domination
Black, Elenium and also in different tribute bands (Judas Priest,
Gamma Ray, Running Wild). Kasperi Heikkinen, the lead guitar player of
Merging Flare, has also played several shows with Gamma Ray,
substituting Henjo Richter.

The first appetizers have been published in MySpace and
at the website of the record label. Reverence can now be
preordered at Levykauppa Äx.
