Thanks for the suggestions,
ZGoten and
Seishin!
I've been liking heavier rock for a while but it was mostly J-rock (abingdon boys school, Nightmare, GazettE, those types) until recently, when I first started listening to Maiden and Kamelot (so sad about Roy Khan's departure D: ). But yeah, as you guys already know I really love the epic and moving qualities of symphonic/power melodies! I did try a bit of Nightwish already but they didn't appeal to me as much as Epica did, however I will definitely go back to them since that's how I first felt about Kamelot too (NO idea why). I'll also check out those others, Seishin!
As for black/death metal, I can't say that I'll be getting into it anytime soon. But I'm still open to the genres, since I found myself liking Nevermore's Born a lot, even if it has quite a lot of growling, as well as the Dark Empire stuff ZGotez posted! I might be able to ease myself into heavier things as time passes... would you say black and death metal are acquired tastes? Cause I feel like the more I listen, the more I get used to it and the more I keep coming back to it.
I think another thing I like in metal is relatively clear and soaring vocals, like Maiden, Kamelot or Stratovarious. Which is probably why black/death metal was initially just like WHOA for me

BTW, I'm a teenaged girl
Which is why people look at me weirdly when I claim to love metal (and stuff like Iron Maiden at that)!
