Want similar bands

[BigJC]

I am really into

Dream Theatre
Liquid Tension Experiment
A Perfect Circle

and bands of that nature, however the other day stumbled upon

Dragon force
Rhapsody

and got all wet lol.. can any recommend any other bands with similar music stylings?

Thanks in advance

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Get some Blind Guardian, you would probably enjoy them.

[Jondur]

Vanden Plas - will satisfy all your prog AND power needs.

[Concubine]

Symphony X, Sonata Arctica, X-Japan

[LegionsofMarduk]

Stratovarius
Kamelot
Labyrinth

[SailAway]

Nobody said tool yet? Tool.

[uberoreo]

Some Porcupine Tree probably wouldn't hurt either.

If you're into power metal, and I'm assuming you aren't too fussed on the prog aspect, since you like Rhapsody, then I'm going to whip out my power metal list:

Angra
Blind Guardian
Children Of Bodom
Cryonic Temple
Dark Moor
Demons & Wizards
Dragonland
Dream Evil
Dream Quest
Dungeon
Falconer
Galloglass
Galneryus
Gamma Ray
Gun Barrell
HammerFall
Helloween
Human Fortress
Iced Earth
Jag Panzer
Kalmah
Kamelot
Kiuas
The Lord Weird Slough Feg
Lost Horizon
Luca Turilli
Manowar
Onmyouza
Orphaned Land
Pagan's Mind
Persuader
Running Wild
Sabaton
Sonata Arctica
Stratovarius
Tarot
Therion
Thunderstone
Valkiria

Some of those are debatable, I know.

Bolded are the ones you should check out first.

EDIT: I need more power metal. :(

[MetalOz]

Andromeda, Circus Maximus, Tad Morose, Crimson Glory, DivineFire, Adagio

[Iai]

What happened to the Recommendations thread?

[extreme_191]

Gordian Knot
Spasic Ink

[JamJar]

Check out Pain Of Salvation, now!

[NOOB]

Children of Bodom should be in bold:)

[Shattered_Future]

Shadow Gallery should do you some good too.

[Sleepy]

Children of Bodom should be in bold:)

Considering they're really not proper power metal as this guy asked for, no, they shouldn't.

[BigJC]

[i am the robots]

not the same thing, but you might like these for symphonic aspects:
tristania
peccatum
lilitu
emperor

[Moon Flavor]

Jesu.

They don't sound anything like the bands you listed, but everyone on earth should be in love with them.

[Insipid2000]

Opeth.

[Riva]

Andromeda, Circus Maximus, Tad Morose, Crimson Glory, DivineFire, Adagio


I knew I was forgetting some. Also, Firewind and Olympos Mons.

What happened to the Recommendations thread?

What the hell happened to you? Where've you been, mate??

Children of Bodom should be in bold:)

Not very fond of CoB at all, sorry.
