^Thats's not really a surprise, Queensryche and 80's Fates Warning arent exactly full on Prog Metal, so heading more towards the metal side of things instead of the prog might get you more of what you're looking for.

for high-pitched vocals in a metal environment, you might like non-prog metal but quite close to the burgeoning power/prog-metal of the eighties :
- Helstar's 'distant thunder' and 'nosferatu' - Helloween's 'Keeper of the seven keys' pts I & II - Overkill's 'horrorscope' - Metal Church's first three albums

ZEITGEIST. They are completely unknown and they released only an album in 1995 (The Eyes of Time), I uploaded it all on YouTube and I think that it is simply wonderful. Heavy/Prog in Shadow Gallery/Queensryche style with a fantastic melodic touch.

Tad Morose - their debut album is from 1993 (Leaving in the Past) and Sender of Thoughts are quite enjoyable
Crimson Glory - I think they were mentioned, but I emphasize  - great bandFates Warning - especially the albums with Ray Alder from this period are great Late 80s/early 90s Voivod albums are quite good as well. Psycho Drama - they had only two albums but excellent band - Illusions (1995) and Bent (1997). Veni Domine is an interesting band, I recommend it. Conception - definitely a must listen and an obvious choice - Threshold. |

This is an old thread, but I figured I'd throw in a couple relevant matches for the OP. Hope this is helpful :)
Top Picks: Sanctuary - Into The Mirror Black (1990) Throes of Sanity - The Upheaval (1995) Heir Apparent - One Small Voice (1989) might scratch that Empire itch! Engine - Engine (1999) Ray Alder Fates Warning vocalist side project Secondary Picks: Screamer - Target: Earth (1988) - closer to early Prog/Power sound but worth looking at Titan Force & Fifth Angel - both bands put out 2 records of not proggy but technically solid shiny US power metal. Arch/Matheos - original Fates Warning singer with FW guitarist. Like old FW vox over newer FW prog metal. Drive - Characters in Time (1988) Alias - Metal To Infinity (1989)

Cool thread to pull back up!
I guess the OP is no longer around here, which is too bad, because I'd love to recommend one of my favorite melodic progressive metal albums by a band that is no longer. The final album by Eternity X was a concept called The Edge released in 1997. Just fantastic. They had added keyboardist Jamie Mazur, making them a quintet, and he really added to their sound. Here are a couple songs from the album before that one, Mind Games. |

 Glad you like! The full albums are on YT. Give The Edge a proper listen from beginning to end. They weren't Fates/Maiden clones, by any means!

Two melodic Prog Metal bands that are often overlooked:
Kooga - Across the Water (only Album from that band from Wales) Prophet - Cycle on the Moon (from the US) Edited by TheH - January 05 2017 at 06:43 |

I've got this album but I think that Prophet played FM Hard-Rock. http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/groupe-groupe-Prophet-l-en.html Edited by PhideauxFan - January 05 2017 at 07:29 |

Another stellar '90s prog-metal band that also, to our detriment, is no longer.
Want to hear what it might sound like if members of Rush and Dream Theater formed a band and enlisted a fantastic female vocalist? A few songs from Leger de Main's 1995 debut, The Concept of our Reality. |
