I'm such a sucker for this stuff. I know a fair amount of it exists in symphonic power metal but I'm pretty open to different styles of symphonic metal with narration and spoken word elements (read: harsh vocals are cool by me).

I'm already aware of bands like Rhapsody (of Fire), Bal-Sagoth, and Nightwish. I'm also open to less conventional narration like what's going on in After Forever's Invisible Circles.

I don't need a full-blown concept album but I guess it doesn't hurt. Any and all recommendations are welcome, thanks in advance!
