Eh, I'm just not feeling it with these guys; they seem a tad too rock-ish for me, sorta like Gloomball, I suppose?
Sounds like you're mostly into the epic kind of metal? Because when I think metal I'm usually going with groups like Lamb of God, Unearth and Killswitch Engage to name a few.
Aye, I'm much more into the sort of music that gives...An motivational & ambitious feeling, I suppose?

UP THE IRONS!
I swear the Iron Maiden tracks sound like they've been recorded in a shoddy studio. Half-decent track I've heard from them was Rainmaker.
We've had quite a few metal threads over the years. Looks like you lean towards the power/epic metal side, which is fine, just not what everybody thinks of when you just say "metal". Anyway there's a lot of fans here. I'll give some off the wall recs given your taste: - Listen to more Korpiklaani. People don't give them enough credit because they think they're a gimmick, but I loved almost every album they put out and they've put out a lot. I don't speak Finnish but it still sounds fun and catchy. - Check out Equilibrium... I think they're German. Anyway it's very odd music because the band/music sounds upbeat and happy, but the vocals are an almost inaudible deep metal growl. Odd mix, but it's unique. Try "Was Lange Wahrt" and "Uns'rer Floten Klang". - Van Canto... They're an a cappella group (except for drums) but they do power metal music. The guitars and bass are done through voices, not always great but some good ones. As far as metal that I like that doesn't really fit what you posted: - Avatar is a great band that has gotten a bit more popular with their last two albums ("The Black Waltz" and "Hail the Apocalypse"). Check out "Smells Like a Freak Show", "Ready for the Ride", "Bloody Angel" and "Death of Sound" - Amaranthe has two vocalists, one male one female. Both are excellent and I've liked every album they've released. Try "The Nexus", "Hunger" and "Dynamite"
I've got quite a few of Korpiklaani's records. They're pretty damn good.
Equilibrium sound like an upbeat Ensiferum. It's a shame they sing and German; too many "ich" "ogh" "ishcht" syllables.
Amaranthe ain't for me, heard 'em 'afore.
Van Canto's male singer sorta sounds like Gloryhammer's vocalist at times. Neat. That choir kills it, sadly.
Avatar's a bit too heavy for my tastes. Needs a high-pitched lead guitar, then they'd be dandy.

Dude DRAGONFORCE totally pwns all METAL
No but srsly, I listen to Dream Theater and that's about it these days. I can't stand scream-o shit metal that most go for today. I guess they are more commonly known as "Progressive metal"
...I like Dragonforce.
Alas, Dream Theater ain't for me. The build up to the good parts are too slow, and it just doesn't have that "oomph" when the chorus is reached.

They put on an excellent live show, I'd definitely recommend it if you get the chance. I saw them with Finntroll and Ensiferum, who he should also check out.
I used to be pretty into Ensiferum. The growly voice doesn't do it any more for me, sadly.

I like 90s stuff like Opeth, Death, Satyricon, and Enslaved most of the time. But, of post 2000 bands, I would say, I most love Alestorm and Diablo String Orchestra. You got your Pirate Metal, and then you got your metallic swing opera rock.
Alestorm is a fockin' good band. Their song "Captain Morgan's Revenge - Of Treasure" is amazing.
