I live in an ephemeral eternity
I really love Carach Angren. I don't tend to delve too much into the black metal bands, but these guys are very symphonic and with easy-to-understand vocals. I also like the haunting stories they tell with their albums. I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you meant with your thread, but this works for me!

No man, not into that stuff, looking for clean/semi clean vocals, something more in the lines of Disturbed, Godsmack, Sevendust, Adrenaline Mob, Stone Sour. Thanks anyway.

...Linkin Park..?
I like Kamelot
Agreed, I thought their last album "Silverthorn" was really good. They have a new one coming very soon I believe.Originally Posted by klothos

Two excellent British bands....HEAT & VEGAS.
Like KAMELOT also!
Dunno if this is heavy enough, brillant guitar it is.

Many styles of metal are melodic, you have to be more specific.
Something like this?:

Kim, love Horizons. Certainly heavy and one of the catchiest prog metal albums I have heard in 2014.

Sounds like the OP is into heavy modern radio-oriented rock....which is fine.
I highly recommend checking out the band Breed 77. They are criminally unknown (at least in the States) and should be huge.
Other bands in that vein (or at least with a foot in the genre) that are worth checking out:
Alaya
Overhead
Audrey Horne
Baroness
Nothing More
Fen
In the Silence
Katatonia
Middle Class Rut
Operation Error
Soen
Easy to understand vocals?I really love Carach Angren. I don't tend to delve too much into the black metal bands, but these guys are very symphonic and with easy-to-understand vocals.

I suppose I have another idea of easy to understand.
Sounds a bit like Dimmu Borgir to me.
Soen! Just got this today. For fans of Tool, Opeth and Karnivool. Rawk! \m/ \m/

Two great bands, local to me that aren't even big in their own households - Black Butterfly & The Ursine Princes. Massive melodies & hard as nails! In a perfect world they would be huge!
If you're at all into female-fronted goth metal a la Nightwish, check out Seventh Sin from the Netherlands. Great songs & even better live. They made Edenbridge seem ordinary, which is no mean feat.
Want some thrash? Try Vindicator, from Leeds, U.K.. The vocals are a bit barky but the guitarist Chris Robertson is extraordinary. One of the best I've heard in a long time.
None of these bands have made much of a splash (yet!) but they are all marvellous in their own way. So much talent out there....
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Nevermore. They may be the heaviest band to never use growling (among the ones I've heard at least).
I'll also second the mention of Katatonia (they're the gloomy atmospheric kind of metal that would appeal to Fates Warning fans). Baroness's sibling band Valkyrie is also pretty fun--they go for an analog 70s sound, sort of in the Sabbath/Maiden vein but with dual guitars.
I am obsessed with Winery Dogs though I wouldn't necessarily call them metal. I have heard 100s of great things about Joe Holmes new band Farmikos.
Arcturus-Arcturian, released this year
"Alienated-so alien I go!"
Not overly heavy, but definite heavy moments...and a sprinkling of glorious cheese...

I love this band. Not the pretty vocals of a lot of bands mentioned here, but it fits the music perfectly to me and may be what you're searching for...
...or maybe not!
