Including some bands already mentioned
lost horizon - think their album is named lost horizon as well. at least the one igot.
children of bodom - follow the reaper. hate crew deathroll. Hatebreeder and something wild. all good albums IMO
if you like iron maiden, then consider bruce dickinson with the album the chemical wedding.
masterplan - the album is named masterplan i think. good band. know fiberfar cant stand them tho ^^
if you like sonata etc, try hammerfall. aint really got any idea of what their albums are named, so someone else have to fill in.
meshugga is worth mentioning. its quite.. strange. more prog. destroy erase improve and contradictions collapse & none are good albums.
Pagans mind. a norwegain band. quite good! celestial entrance and infinity divine are good albums.. check out the song embracing fear! its really good!
and a band i really love, Opeth. all albums are good IMO. check out ghost reveries. blackwater park and deliverance.
if you want some real power, check out rhapsody

power of the dragonflame and the emerald sword is the best albums IMO
if you like more prog music, check out dream theater. i like them a lot. the best albums IMO are awake, six degrees of inner tubulence and Scenes from a memory. great band, with the famus guitarist john petrucci.
