Recommend me some music!

Just looking for some recommendations...stuff that I might have missed along the way :) What I've been into lately: -Power metal. Stuff like Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Rhapsody... The faster and more upbeat the better. -Female-fronted more melodic stuff. Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, that sort of thing. Edging…

Some good stuff mentioned so far. On top of that I'll throw in a nice mix of...

3 Inches Of Blood - Advance and Vanquish,
Arch Enemy - any of their albums with Angela Gossow fronting
Eternal Tears Of Sorrow - "Autumn's Grief" and "The River Flows Frozen" are two great mellow tracks
Alter Bridge - One Day Remains

Also if you wanted to branch out you could try some of the better/heavier metalcore stuff from the likes of Lamb Of God, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, All That Remains, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage and God Forbid.

Definitely agree with the mad capsule markets, especially the osc:dis album. j rock madnesss at its best.
For something a little unusual, id go with deadsy. Weird style full on metal mixed with 80's synth pop ..bizarre, but very good.

Check out Amon Amarth, they're like power, death and melodic death metal rolled into one.
And as always, AT THE GATES! Go for Slaughter Of The Soul or Terminal Spirit Disease first. I'll never get tired of listening to that band.

I'm not one for female fronted metal on the whole, especially Arch Enemy type stuff. However, Madder Mortem are absolutely amazing, really really nice, atmospheric yet lively stuff with clean female vocals.
