zed

Adagio

Angra

Pyramaze

Heavenly

Theocracy (One man, Christian Power Metal... amazing stuff)

Vision Divine

Lost Horizon

and if you dig Blind Guardian

Savage Circus, Persuader, Dark Empire are essential.

and of course Edguy, Stratovarius, and Symphony X

Where the fuck did all the power metal fans come from?

When you say epic, I say Rhapsody (but since they're, like, the single most popular symphonic metal band ever, you probably already know them, and me merely mentioning them has probably put you off ). Their newest album (Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret) is greatness. Fabio isn't too high. Most of the time

Like Keef said, try Battlelore.

Check out Epica, After Forever... and for some epic power metal without ridculously high vocals check out Kamelot as well.

I couldn't really get the billboard on right, this was the best I could do after several different tries. :[

Good luck, brother.

Here's my entry: Sonata Arctica

Good luck, Dan.

I'll take the spot against Dan if that's cool, I'll have my entry up later tonight.
