I'm aware of the other thread with a similar title, but I figured it'd be better to open a new thread instead of hijacking the other one.
So, I'm looking for stuff similar to Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime and Empire albums and the first three Fates Warning albums with Ray Alder on vocals.
Basically, what I'm looking for is progressive, melodic heavy metal somewhat close to hard rock with little to no keyboards.
