Metal & Rock Music Recommendations

I would have to say Lamb Of God...or old school Deftones.....

Ok, so I'm looking for some fairly well produced Power Metal. Not sure why, but I just sorta feel like it. My absolute favorite Power Metal band is Gamma Ray. Helloween is also good, but I don't want anything like Dragonforce, or ...not sure if Iced Earth is really Power Metal but they don't really float my boat.

Yeah, my Power Metal choices are limited, thus the want for more. Hopefully I can get some help.

Nevermore...The Godless Endeavor. Good singer who's got some range, excellent guitar riffs and licks. A little grittier than Halloween and they also have a lot of other great CDs.

Hey all, this is my first post here! This forum caught my eye and I had to join.

Anyway, for my first post, I was hoping I could get some recommendations for some new bands. I've been searching my heart out, but can't quite find what I'm looking for. If anyone's willing, here's an idea of the kind of **** I'm looking for:

I want bands that are alternative, heavy, but not too heavy (lamb of god is the heaviest I'll go. no immortal or anything) with experimentation (kind of like the Dillinger escape plan) and technical riffs and beats. They've got to have a few ballads too, some acoustic interludes and singing vocals (like Slipknot, Darkest Hour or Pantera)

They don't have to be singed to be major label bands, by the way. But no unsigned stuff.

That might be too complicated I suppose, but to me, it seems like I could find something like that everywhere.

Here is what I'm listening to now: (I've listened to these dudes SOO much)
Metallica (nothing after the black album)
Slipknot
Tool
Pantera
Down
Mastodon
System of a Down
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Gojira
Baroness
Acid Bath
Trivium
Tenacious D
Slayer
Lamb of God
Darkest Hour
etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Shadows fall
War of ages
Unearth
Children of Bodom
Norther
Sonic Syndicate
Scar Symmetry
All that remains
Still remains
August burns red
Killswitch engage
Between the buried and me
divine heresy

That's something I should have mentioned before; I'm not a big fan of metalcore, or hardcore. I like ATR and some KE, but that and the stuff I listed is as far as it goes.

I have to say it-Byzantine "And They Shall Take Up Serpents"
Or anything by Coroner-"Grin" probably the most progressive
Seriously,Byzantine are legendary

Jaysis. Really? I'm still waiting for them to become socially irrelevant. That will restore a bit of my faith in modern music.
