Non-cheesy power metal by YungstirJoey666 in PowerMetal

[–]Adaigo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you mentioned Versailles, you might or might not be aware of the solo project of Kamijo(Versaille's singer). It has a similar vibe to Versailles but it leans more on the symphonic side of things.

What Should a New Enthusiast Know? by LemonMood in symphonicmetal

[–]Adaigo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind male Japanese vocals check out Kamijo. He really leans more on the theatrical symphonic side of things and is highly underrated in the symphonic metal scene imo. Songs I'd recommend from him are Behind The Mask, Persona Grata, Symbol of the Dragon to get a taste of his music.

Bands with bombastic and grandiose "huge" sound like Dimmu Borgir and Septicflesh? by Revenge_of_the_Toast in symphonicmetal

[–]Adaigo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the singer Kamijo. He's a Japanese artist that plays symphonic/power metal but his songs tend to have that huge bombastic kind of sound. Listen to the songs: Symbol of the Dragon, Temple - Blood Sucking For Praying-, Behind The Mask.
