One of my favorite bands along these lines is a band that no one has mentioned yet.
Prophet.
Very very underrated. Ted Poley from Danger Danger was once with them.

Pretty Maids' Pandemonium is beast of a record!
What tiny bit I've heard of the new JSS is also very good, of course.

Recently picked (back) up the debut Starbreaker album...
It's Magnus Carlsson w/ Tony Harnell from TNT...if you dig TNT and the Allen/Lande albums, you NEED to hear this!

I noticed that there seems to be limited interest in this genre, so rather than posting a new thread for each band, I thought we could have a thread where we can just share new discoveries and also new albums from the bigger bands too.
Here's a band I recently discovered, with Danny Vaughn from Tyketto on vocals:

Well that thread is in the RIP section, so it's no surprise it hasn't got much attention. Is there a problem with starting a fresh thread?
I brought the old topic back and merged the new one into the existing one.
Cheers, now let's get back to the music!

Love that Pelata mentioned the Pretty Maids, 'Pandemonium' is indeed awesome and I can't wait to see them next month, their very first US appearance in 30 years, ProgPower USA.
I have also been spinning this one a lot and can't help but think about how completely overlooked this band in general is, if you like melodicrock, melodic metal, either or, both, there is absolutely no way you can go wrong:
This band has 20 years of this stuff, so if you're newly introduced, definitely get to that.

That's an excellent album!!! "Days Of Confusion" is a great song.
I have the second one as well.

I quite like Praying Mantis as well. Their album Time Tells No Lies is one of my favorites of the NWOBHM.
And their newer stuff is pretty great as well, especially if you dig melodic metal.

Now you can stream both entire Line Of Fire albums on Bandcamp. If you have not heard them, now is your chance! If you choose to download, you get the choice of 320kbs (better than iTunes 256kbs), FLAC or WAV.
Tribunal is in the midst of adding their catalog to Bandcamp now as well.

Just ordered two more
Pink Cream 69- Ceremony (Feb 5th) Hardline- Danger Zone
This is an old thread, so I'll mention my faves from the last 5 years or so, they've already been mentioned but I'm just adding my vote.
Praying Mantis- Sanctuary Treat- Coup De Grace Ten- Stormwarning Magnum- The Visitation Axel Rudi Pell- Circle of the Oath (somewhat metal, but melodic)
those were all candidates for my album of the year from 2009-2012

The new W.E.T. singles are pretty good. Also, the new Pink Cream 69 isn't half bad...more of the same from them, but they're so good at it.

I think the new PC69 is the best thing they've done in several years. Tons of melody and memorability and David Readman's vocals shine as usual.
