I have always loved listening to those bands you mentioned, but after discovering Nightwish, I consider the lyrics and heavy rock sound to be the best in the world, Creed and Within temptation are also very good.
Most of the best heavy rock bands of more recent times are not well known because they are not on the radio or mainstream music channels due to there message in the music of who and what we truly are from the time of light to the physical form that we are now, the elites do not want us finding out the truth, just like with covid19 and the vaccines.
Music is a window to the soul and the truth.
