I recently "discovered" this great prog/power metal band called Serenity, from Austria. They're like a mix of Kamelot, Sonata Arctica and Dream Theater. Very cool stuff! I've already turned all of my metal friends onto them in short order and now it's your turn.

Their vocalist reminds me of a mix of Niklas Isfeldt (Dream Evil) and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica). The first album is in a progressive metal vein and can be Dream Theater-esque. The musical style on the second album though really reminds me of Kamelot/Sonata with the focus on symphonic execution and vocals. To be honest I'm actually going to buy the second album I like it so much. Gotta support good music!
Here's stuff on their first album:
