Despite the fact that there are a glut of female fronted symphonic metal bands hailing from Europe, there is undoubtedly a place for Amberian Dawn. Heidi Parviainen has a great voice - nearer to Tarja than she is to Charlotte Wessels or Sharon Den Adel, but not so operatic as to make you feel you have accidentally wandered into a performance of Wagner's Ring Cycle. This has driving, powerful melodies with suitably epic instrumentation. Great stuff.
