As some of you may already know, I am a DJ at my college's radio station, and every semester we do a funds drive during which each show has a special theme.  This semester, my partner and I chose to explore the genre of Fantasy Metal and expose all the best and cheesiest metal bands out there.  The show is 2 hours long and will air this coming Monday night from 12-2am ET.  I am posting this because I am still looking for suggestions of things to play.  Here is most of the list (as i can think off hand):

Dragonforce
Dragonlord
Battlelore
Moonspell
Vintersong
Nightwish
Symphony X
Even Song
Kamelot
The Sword
Astral Doors

thats all i can think of at the moment... is there anything im missing?  please help me out thanks!!

What do you think about King Diamond (rather horror than fantasy, I know)?
"Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

Charles Bukowski

good suggestions, thanks.

I dont know how i could forget blind guardian.  Symphony X i know isnt technically fantasy metal (and its nowhere near as cheesy) but they still fit in somewhat because of their subject matter.

If you want cheesy. There is only one band in the whole world that sums up the word cheese...

Virgin Steele & Hammers of Misfortune are two great ones (although VS are horribly, horribly cheesy, it must be said!)
