Just tried Opeth!

Whoa, dude-- careful there. Blind Guardian is good, but they're nothing like Opeth. They sort of Power metal meets Broadway, whereas Opeth has a lot more in the way of melodic and harmonic complexity.

Opeth is almost like Jazz on steroids; how you get that they're at all like Blind Guardian is confusing. Care to explain?

Well based on your username, I'm gonna guess you like nu-metal (slipknot)?
I personally hate nu-metal. Slipknot is probably one of my least favorite bands too. So yea, I doubt you'd like any of my suggestions for good bands.

But try http://pandora.com
Just put in a band you like, and it should give some results you may like.
Unfortionately, there aren't too many of the more "underground" bands I like on there, so I never gained too much from it.

I just hold them on the same level. I listened to both bands profusely early on in high school, so I don't really distinguish between the two. If it makes you happy, I can say that Blind Guardian is a middle-ground between Manowar and Opeth.
