Does anyone have any recommendations for symphonic power metal that's heavier than the usual fair? I think Blind Guardian's At The Edge of Time is a good example - songs like Sacred worlds and Wheel of Time.

imagine
grave digger + fairyland = awesome

So any suggestions?

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Ayreon's Into the Electric Castle album
Powerglove, they do excellent covers

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Attacker - Battle at Helm's Deep
Helstar - Nosferatu
Liege Lord - Freedom's Rise
Blind Guardian - Tales from the Twilight World
Omen - Battle Cry
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I
Adramelch - Irae Melanox

If you would consider these bands to be Power Metal (or near enough), they might be what you're looking for:

Jag Panzer-the fourth judgement. JP has other good albums, but I have always liked this one the most.
Iced Earth-night of the stormrider,the dark saga.
Helloween `The Dark Ride.
Seven Witches `Year of the Witch.

Progressive.
Symphony X `The Odyssey.

All these albums are great.

Do you know Daniel Heiman? I need any album where singer is coming as close to him as possible.
