I can't speak to a lot of these subgenres but power metal? Hehehe.

Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames. Not just a meme, actually a great song and very technical.

Powerwolf - Blessed & Possessed. Werewolves that work for the Catholic Church? I have no idea how that's supposed to work but I'd read the book.

Sabaton - To Hell and Back. Sabaton writes a lot of songs about historical battles.

Powermetal has rather a lot of narrative ballads in it.

Oh, I've got a good folk metal band too:

Eluveitie - The Call of the Mountain. I love all the different instruments they use.

Alestorm - Drink. How the hell did I forget Alestorm? Who wants pirate metal?

Bloodywood - Dana Dan. Indian folk metal rap/rock ... with a lot of English? I don't know what's going on here but it's such a unique blend.

Someone mentioned Nightwish and here's my favorite song of theirs:

Nightwish - Nemo

    Absolute killer list of bands. Call of the Mountain has to be in my top 5 best songs ever written.

    And I've never heard a bad song from Sabaton.

    I'll also add Nightwish to the list for symphonic metal. I tend to favor their older stuff, Dark Chest of Wonder would be a great entry point into them.

    Haha funny you added The call of the mountain there. At some point I had an issue that shittube algorithm put that song constantly in 'play next'. The song is good except the chorus that for some reason annoys the hell out of me

    Call of the mountain weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer call of the mountain weeeeeeeeeerreeeeeee call of the mountain

    If you like power metal try visigoth (I think their drummer does an amazing job at controlling the dynamics and pace of their songs) and Fellowship (I've never heard any other band come nearly as close at something uplifting and motivating); I really like Glint from fellowship as an example of that! It's the "response" to the "call" from Oak and Ash earlier in the album
