Just what it says...
Looking for some new bands to enjoy....yesterday, I heard a song by a new group I haven't heard of...they are 'Pop Evil' song was 'Trenches'...loved it!
So, looking for groups that are like:
Edenbridge
Black Veil Brides
Pop Evil
Any Symphonic Metal
Nightwish
Dragonforce
For Today
Thousand Foot Krutch
C'mon, help a guy out
That's a bit of a wide (ok, maybe not *so* wide) net there. I'll be recommending stuff outside of this sort as well, but that still fits with the atmosphere.
Gothic Metal, Symphonic Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Metal:
Seconding the Xandria recommendation.
Sirenia
Theatre of Tragedy
Tristania
Shadowgarden
Lacrimas Profundere
Atrocity
Grave Digger
Van Canto
Tiamat
Firewind
Lacuna Coil
OSI
King's X
Symphony X
Devin Townsend Project
Ayreon
UnSun

[leaving out the big names here; bands like NIN, Stabbing Westward, Orgy, White Zombie/Rob Zombie, Powerman 5000, Filter, Gravity Kills, KMFDM, Ministry, Rammstein, and so on are well known enough]
[same goes for the classic crop of Gothic rock and Alternative Dance acts like Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, New Order, All About Eve, etc.]

Skillet (this hits on both, actually; the early stuff transitioned from Grunge to electronic rock to Industrial and then to the more 'symphonic' stuff they're doing now)
Other:
Royal Republic (totally not 'dark' in any way, but whatever; that's why they're under Other)
Drist
Kalafina
D'espairsray
