If you know some Power/Melodic Metal bands, which you like, but almost no one knows about them, tell us about them. Here's some great bands, which almost no one knows. Especially Sunrise and Minuetum are sooo kick ass bands. I really recommend to check them.

you guys know KENZINER?! is pretty cool project rather than a real band, their first cd "timescape" is awesome and really stratovarius-ish.! check it out.

and also, I really dig Altaria´s records. they are from finland but they remain pretty much under the radar for some reason.

Virtuocity - Crucified I really enjoyed Secret Visions. Their second album, not so much.

Steel Seal - Lord Of The Flies

Keldian

Civiliation One

+bump for sunrise and excalion (are they well known? i dunno!)

Pardon if these ARE well known, I live in America where all power metal is lesser known
