Help a metal newbie :)

[Dreamfall]

rock on dudes, been a major help

 

[smågoth]

you should buy tristania- beyond the veil

 

[Killbot]

You'd probably like anything by Frantic Bleep

 

[Killbot_Mk.2]

Agathodamion. Very mellow black metal.

[Terrorside]

try Bling Guardian or Dreamtheater. If you like Nightwish try to listen Nevermore, and especially their last album.
