Deinitely getting more and more into the Melodic Metal scene as time goes on. It actually seems to be a thriving genre and the number of quality releases is pretty high..

Albums that I would recommend in addition to many of those above..

Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden
Cans - Beyond The Gates (solo album from Joachim Cans singer with Hammerfall)
Avantasia - The Metal Opera Part I (from Edguy singer Tobias Sammet)
Power Quest - Neverworld
Psycho Motel - Welcome To The World & State of Mind (Adrian Smith from Maiden)
Primal Fear - Black Sun
Silent Force - Worlds Apart



Cheers
Steve
