I find that internet radio stations are the best way to check out and discover new bands to enjoy.

I will suggest the station i help out with Epic Rock Radio. For your Symphonic/Power/Prog Metal fix. I have been working harder lately to mix in more progressive metal (as it's my favorite genre). From reading your list above, i think it's safe to say you will find yourself enjoying ERR. (Although you will probably be disappointed with our only having one Savatage album )

And one of my top picks for the more progressive stuff would be Prog Rock and Metal Radio. I have discovered many great bands on this station.

Hope you check 'em out.

I'll have to check out Orenda......never heard of them. From looking at the rest of your list i can see that you have great taste in music. So they must be pretty good.

tommidt-Funny thing About Leverage.

I was at this past year Prog Power and during the bands set changes they play some prog raido station, and they came on and I loved the song and had no idea who was playing, but before they got to the end of the song and would announce the name of who was singing it, they turned it off and the band started.

So.....When I clicked on the link and heard that song.. I was giddy like a school girl HA HA....

thanks you very much for the suggestion

Let's give Ex Libris a try...

Although it seems at first spins it's ordinary Female Fronted Metal, listen closer and you'll find some strange breaks etc. which gives the whole thing a proggy taste:

And yes, I play bass in this little band

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Adagio, Circus Maximus

 

[chrissie]

Xystus

Myrath
Amaseffer

Shadow Gallery's Room V album is one of the best prog metal concept albums of all time. Definitely give it a go.

In related news, Mike Baker, lead singer for Shadow Gallery died of a Heart attack last week. He was one of my favourite singers, and this is a true loss for the metal community. R.I.P.

This is true, or else I wouldn't be here right now.

I'm listening to Ravenheart right now. Very amazing vocals and catchy choruses. "Valley of the Damned" is an awesome song and album!

Check out Brother Firetribe too, as tommidt mentioned Leverage which have great vocals and the same singer. Very nostalgic 80's type AORish Metal. The soap-opera-like lyrics may be a turn off but just pretend it's the 80s, grab the hairspray and rock on. *poofies up hair and puts on bandana*

Keldian is awesome too. "Sundancer" is probably their most powerish, followed very closely by "The Last Frontier". Damn good stuff. :hotjump:

That will tear me up for years... Such a voice the man had... *sniffle*
