Hm, we have similiar taste. Quite a large number of those seem to be Power, I was going to recommend LC and Trist.

Try Symphony X, they're progressive-power with neo-classical thrown in, but I think you'll dig em. Look into their "The Odyssey" album.

I hear Lullacry's pretty cool. They're opening for Nightwish on their North American tour (which I will catch in Seattle next month).

You may want to listen to the band EPICA. They've gotten good reviews.

I don't like goth bands. However, I can recomend Dimmu Bogir, Theater of Tragety, My Dying Bride, and Theorin off hand. Did you want Epic Goth metal? thats pretty much Doom metal, or did you want Epic bands, like Rhapsody; and Gothic Bands, like Flowing Tears?

I love how you suggest Viking Metal and Power Cheese where it's clearly not asked for.
