Give Ayreon a try - the "The Human Equation" album. Ayreon is an artist that doesn't just do stuff himself, but gets in singers from all over the world to create joined projects; he's had singers from several bands like the ones you mentioned in his projects. All his albums tell a story and his genre is basically dubbed 'metal opera'. He's probably the sickest artist I know, and it's uncanny to describe all the ways his music works, makes sense, fits into itself and has layer of thought.
On The Human Equation, he sings about a man who is in a coma; his emotions start singing to him and the music being played in the background (which is btw never a "verse chorus, verse chorus, a solo then boom") changes depending on the emotion in question. 'Love' gets a sweet and soft background while 'Rage' is pure metal. If you want one small example, try , but really, you need to listen to that whole album. None of these songs stand alone, but the album as a whole is equal to watching a full blown movie without the visuals.
Also, Sonata Arctica might be of your liking. They fall under power metal, but have some similarities with bands like Within Temptation and Evanescence. Their newer stuff I personally don't like as much, but something older like of Helloween's might tickle your fancy.
Ask again should this get you into power metal, because I've got a whole arsenal of bands at the ready in that genre.
