Evergrey are a power metal outfit that I discovered no too long ago and unlike extreme power metal Finnish band Children of Bodom, they play a far more mellower and melodic type of metal, you`d probably like them. Start with their debut "Dark Discovery" this is a great album.
By the way, two other great bands as well are In Flames and Dark Tranquility.

Cool thanks for the info... I will check them out for sure.
I've only heard a little of In Flames and I like what I heard. As for Dark Tranquility, I know them, I have the albums Fiction and Haven... I really like Fiction and I like the mix of symphonic metal and death metal but I haven't given either album enough time for me to have a solid opinion.

I was there as well Hammock and had the same exact reaction that you did, at least I enjoyed seeing them for the first (well for me it was the first time)... Everyone was still waiting outside and I heard negative things being said, I thought it was bull**** to be hearing it as they were great. I have their whole Ashes performance on video and loved hearing The Perfect Element at the end of their set. I was like this is so epic right now people are gonna be pumped for DT soon... but alas I had douchebags around me looking bored, what idiots!
