Bands Like Iced Earth
What are some other bands out there that have the Iced Earth sound... power-metal meets speed-metal meets thrash-metal... I really dig the Vox style from Dark Saga, Horror Show, The Glorius Burden, and SWTWC...

Go back in their discography first - S/t and Night of the Stormrider are their best albums.
