I'm looking for stuff with limited screaming, a variety of instruments and harmonized vocals. If it helps I like Stratovarius, DragonForce and Theocracy.

Try Blind Guardian and Rhapsody of Fire, both of which are completely amazing. Especially Rhapsody of Fire if your looking for a, how I say, "Fantasy RPG," feel to it.

DragonForce I believe now has a singer now who I think is scream oriented (Not DM scream, PM scream) so you might want to check that out.

Mortal Coil

Try Gamma Ray, Vicious Rumors and Virgin Steele.

Ace of Spades

Helloween, Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, HammerFall, Angra, and Rhapsody of Fire.
They are all power metal bands.

Sonata Arctica. Kind of surprised they haven't been mentioned yet.

Blind Guardian and Kamelot. Because those are the only two I can identify as power metal that I have in my collection. XD

Oh, and Man-O-War, although they are heavy metal, they have influenced the scene, I guess.

I need some more.

Seconded. Tony Kakko <3

Umm. I think all mine have been said. Kamelot. I've never been an exclusively power metal fan, symphonic is the shit. Here's this (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=166301) if you're interested in symphonic/power. Let me do more digging.

Oh, Visions of Atlantis and Sinergy from that post.
