I've really enjoy Sonata Arctica for some time now. Someone got me onto them about 8 months ago, and now it's on my regular playlist.

Some other similar stylings:

Therion
Rhapsody (Cheese Central but cool music)
Nightwish
Hammerfall
Edguy
Elvenking
Helloween (Don't think they are still making music tho)

Great stuff. I love the whole over the top melodic metal scene.

I don't think I agree with the above list... a similar band to Sonata Arctica is more like Stratovarius, but the thing I like about SA is that they have a definite strong songwriting ability and they are easily one of my favorites also. [edit: they, being the singer as the songwriting backbone I believe]

That's a fair assessment. I think my point was more along the lines of cool melodic power metal.

Speaking of which, Fatalis plays at El Corazon tonight if you want to come down and support some local melodic power metal bands...
