Try to describe your dream band, i.e. the sound of that band. This will probably be a mixture of characteristics of many different real bands...
well, I start:
-rough description: dark, progressive, emotional and technical metal
-long instrumental sections with lots of long-ass guitar solos
-some twin guitar stuff going on (like Psychotic Waltz for example)
-characteristic vocals, good, imaginative lyrics (and no lame political
statements or cheesy stuff!)
-no keyboards please!
-epic compositions, lots of tempo changes, but at the same time a strong
sense of melody and catchiness
-different moods, but a tendency towards melancholy
-creative, interesting drums (o rly?)
-progressive, but not overly technical (like Spiral Architect and such)
