Avantasia
Avantasia was an all-star side project headed by Tobias Sammet, lead singer of the prog-tinged German power metal band Edguy. While recording a guest appearance from Blind Guardian singer Hansi Kursch with his regular band, Sammet conceived of a massive-scale rock opera featuring the cream of the current power metal scene. He spent a year composing the material, named the "band" Avantasia, and recruited a variety of vocalists to tell his story: Gamma Ray's Kai Hansen, Stratovarius' Timo Tolkki, Virgin Steele's David DeFeis, Angra's Andre Matos, Warrior's Rob Rock, and Within Temptation's Sharon Den Adel. For the backing band, Sammet gathered guitarists Jens Ludwig (Edguy) and Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray), bassist Markus Grosskopf (Helloween), and drummer Alex Holzwarth (Rhapsody). The album, The Metal Opera, was filled with tried-and-true fantasy themes and anthemic, progressive pomp-metal; it was released by Century Media in the summer of 2001 and was followed by the sequel, The Metal Opera II, the following year in 2002. The band returned years later with their Scarecrow Saga, a three album piece consisting of The Scarecrow, released in 2008, and The Wicked Symphony and Angel of Babylon, both released in 2010. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Also, if you're into power/symph/ p r o g metal music definately check out 'epicrockrad i o . c o m ' . It's a really great internet radio site
It's very odd that they started a new artist page for The Scarecrow and then put the followup album here though.
i haven't heard all of Lost In Space, but from what i have listened to, it sounds very experimental and more ballad-like than the usual prog/power fare.
oh and i would consider Godsmack more of a Nu Metal not True(doesnt exist)

Oh well, they're bound to show up soon considering I've seeded or heavily thumbed up just about everything Pandora thinks is similar, heh.
Oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to. Sorry willow, didn't mean to taunt your handicaps.
Trolling the pandora threads will get you nowhere in life and has wasted your time. I hope that at some point you realize people that know talent don't want to listen to what you call "true metal". This stuff sounds way better. The singer sings, the guitarists play melodic melodies, and the drums have a beat. This is different from "true metal" that simply involves a vocalist that screams, and drum and guitar players that mash everything together on their instruments.
GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOWER MUTHAFOOKAS.
Kick Dragonforce' s asses anyday.
