Last.fm tells me Blind Guardian, Helloween, DragonForce, Sonata Artica, Nightwish, Edguy, Freedom Call and Gamma Ray.
From my own experience (which isn't much, since I don't enjoy power metal that much), I would add Symphony X and Angra, which are prog/power metal, and also Avantasia.

Since Sabaton featured a keyboardist I kinda over-generalised from here and looked for bands with keyboardists that I listened to...turns out, not that many, and almost all progressive metal choices based on your playlist...
Dream Theater, especially Train of Thought which ranks among their heavier stuff, but there are definitely mellower albums that stray closer to normal progressive rock than metal
Cynic, especially Focus which is still probably their heaviest record due to death metal elements, but contains some not-as-death moments, is a bit challenging to get into due to various factors (including vocoder vocals) but ultimately rewarding (imo). Their later albums shift closer to progressive rock but still are unmistakably them - sadly as of last year the band status is in dispute :(
For something on the more abrasive side (and these are more my personal picks and not based on your playlist), you can't do much wrong with Megadeth (Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?!), Slayer (Reign in Blood) or my current favourite, Testament (I really dig Souls of Black though The Legacy is (rightfully) more celebrated)

GWAR
Nonpoint
Drowning Pool

I also like a mix of metal and techno. A few examples:

What kind of Metal?
Thrash? Power? Doom? Prog? Speed? Death? Black?
Do you want mainstream or underground bands?

Catchy?
That's subjective, if you want my advice.
I believe loads of people already told you that, but you should try :
I know it's mostly Thrash Metal, but hey... Thrash 'til Death! \m/

Megadeth, every day! ^^ can't go wrong with the all the early albums (until 1994).

Their recent album is pretty solid imo, in case you didn't get to it yet! Worse song is the last, which is a cover. (I was used to liking one to three songs per album post-Youthanasia and before this one)

yeah, Dystopia is alright. I like Endgame better though. Bought tickets yesterday for the Dystopia tour in June. :)

If you don't mind languages other than English you should try COMA then. Will add link later.

As you like Sabaton, you may like Powerwolf too...
And Threshold is great!
Metal Church maybe (the older ones). Vicious Rumors (older ones prefered here too). Communic. (Morgana) Lefay. All great power metal bands...

Three metal albums I have on my iPhone right now are the newest Black Dahlia Murder, Bog Oak and Teeth. Death, sludge and dissonant death. Don't know if you're into that, but there are some songs worth suggesting, I think, but I'm on my phone right now so you gotta search 'em yourself :/
M.S.G. - Assault Attack
Devin Townsend Band - Vampira
I think they might be sth you'd like and also... Ghost. Just everything they ever madr. Their newest album Meliora is a must... Uh... Must-listen?

One of my favourite bands is Eluveitie. If you like metal covers you should check out some of these songs :)

I'm guessing that we don't have same taste in metal, judging from your playlist and what most people suggested.
My picks would me Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Van Canto, Hammer Fall, Masterplan, Avantasia... There are some other perfomers, but I just like one or two songs from their repertoire, like Disturbed's - The Sound of Silence; I know that original isn't theirs.

I'm feeling for another GA to do, also need more of da metal.
My playlist so far.
I prefer power metal songs or any metal song with a fast rhythm; songs to make me energetic, hyper, excited, etc.
