maybe you'd also like bands like wintersun, children of bodom, after forever (especially the album invisible circles - the others aren't that good imo), tristania (NOT the album "ashes"), angtoria, divine fire (nice heavy guitars, fast double bass, melodic keyboard, a singer with a good voice - but better ignore the lyrics ( from what i could make out it sounds too christian for my taste ), well and some other bands are kamelot, lacuna coil (ok thats not really metal imo - but related), ensiferum, epica, iced earth, symphony x, and of course the bands that were mentioned before, and bands that were not mentioned here
