Hammerfall, Dream Evil, Stratovarius...

Anyway I line in America and am really into a lot of the European metal bands. Unfortunatly its hard to find new bands to check out seeing as how their music doesnt really have a large audience here in the states. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on bands to check out that are similar to:

Hammerfall
Dream Evil
Stratovarius
Symphony X
Iced Earth
Dragonforce

Ooo you have good taste!
Brainstorm are very good, but a little heavier.
Judas Priest are classic.
Some others I like are:
Rhapsody, Domine, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Nightwish.
These are of course well established bands and I am more into death and black metal myself.. hope I was of some help though.
