were I you, I'd head to Last.fm and start plugging in tags to see what comes up. Symphonic metal, folk metal, goth metal, and of course bombast. It'll play you stuff, find a song you like, click to the band station and it will play you similar material as well as that band. Or you could just start with the Nightwish station and go from there. I've discovered quite a few bands I really like that way. I've also played with tags like 'haunting', 'janglepop', and 'melancholy' to find more interesting things, depending on my mood at the moment.
