Space/Sci-Fi themed metal?

Can anyone think of some space/sci-fi themed metal? I'm trying to put together a cool mix. Particularly in the power/traditional/80s vein, or thrash...even 70s rock/proggy stuff is cool. Doom, too, for that matter.

Stuff I can think of:
-Scanner- Hypertrace (just can't get my hands on the damned CD...I used to have the vinyl, and it destroys)
-Medieval Steel's "Battle Beyond the Stars"
-Star One

I'm sure Gama Bomb and Municipal Waste have some stuff that would fit the bill too, just gotta pull out the CDs and check.

Thanks!

Iron Savior comes immediately to mind as does Vektor.

yeahhhh Scanner!

..which was obviously a prelude to Iron Savior, definitely pick up some IS - 'Unification', the self-titled, the new one is very good also...

Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out in Space..a no brainer.

Keldian - Heaven's Gate, Journey of Souls..these are major no brainers too..go here immediately.

Slough Feg - Hardworlder

Cydonia - self-titled

Pagan's Mind - Celestial Entrance, enigmatic : calling

Dragonland - Astronomy (well, the first half of it!)

Luca Turilli - Prophet of the Last Eclipse

and again with Scanner TERRMINAL EAAARRTH! CAUGHT IN A TRAP!

Try both Vektor albums.

Yay Spec is back!
Stay a while this time

Guardians of Time - MAchines of Mental Design

Vektor - Black Future
Vektor - Outer Isolation
