What Metal Bands would I like?

Question

I love bands like Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Ancient (with Lord Kaiphas),The Kovenant (Animitronic era), Acid Bath, My Dying Bride, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, stuff like that. I guess it's considered "Symphonic Metal," or whatever you call it. I'm not really into Death Metal like Cannibal Corpse and such. I like stuff that's heavy but catchy or dark but beautiful, with keyboards or orchestras or female backing vocalists or just something other than the typical vocalist/screamer,guitar,bass,drums set-up. Does anyone know any bands who sound similar to any of these, mainly Cradle and Dimmu? Any suggestions welcome. We have no music stores around here anymore so I have to buy my CDs at Wal-Mart and Best Buy and MTV doesn't show Metal videos anymore, so I don't even know who's out there anymore. But if anyone has any suggestions, I'll look them up on YouTube and if I like it, I'll get their CD on Amazon. At least they still have good music.

You might want to check out Amon Amarth and their latest album "Twilight of the Thnudergod".  Genitorturers is very good and has a female lead singer. Straight Line Stitch is good,  the lead singer is a women and can sing very well. She switches back and forth between the metal growl and actual singing. Dethklok, which isn't necessarily real band, is good also.

You can't go wrong with GWAR, Rammstien, Judas Priest, classics like KISS Led Zeppelin ALice Cooper and Black Sabbath are good to. System of a Down, Amon Amarth, Primus, Slayer, Megadeth Deftone and Iron Maiden are real good too. There are many diferent type of metal (ex. Thrasher Metal vs. Death Metal) Listen to what you can and see what you like. Im not sure if all those above are Totally metal, Its just the cd's I've got laying here.
