I like X-Japan a lot, and they have some whole songs in English along with a lot of English lyrics sprinkled in their Japanese stuff. (I like the awkward carefulness of the English lyrics in "forever love" and "Endless Rain", but I don't know if those songs would count as bombastic in the way you're looking for.)
I love Malice Mizer's videos but find that the music doesn't do much for me when separated from the visual element. Mana is dreamy though.
I am glad you posted this as I am getting a lot of good recs from the comment thread. I am really lazy when it comes to new music.
