I'll also add Nightwish to the list for symphonic metal. I tend to favor their older stuff, Dark Chest of Wonder would be a great entry point into them.

You left out Pasadena 1994 by Nanowar of Steel

Also my favorites, fiddler on the green and old Nightwish, Stratovarious or Blind Guardian.

I've been also known to enjoy a Sonata Arctica concert or two.

Haha funny you added The call of the mountain there. At some point I had an issue that shittube algorithm put that song constantly in 'play next'. The song is good except the chorus that for some reason annoys the hell out of me

Call of the mountain weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer call of the mountain weeeeeeeeeerreeeeeee call of the mountain

If you like power metal try visigoth (I think their drummer does an amazing job at controlling the dynamics and pace of their songs) and Fellowship (I've never heard any other band come nearly as close at something uplifting and motivating); I really like Glint from fellowship as an example of that! It's the "response" to the "call" from Oak and Ash earlier in the album

Plus, if you're into power metal, you probably also enjoy TTRPG's, and Visigoth designed a whole campaign/setting based around one of their albums with one of my favorite 3rd party content creators (The Revenant King)
