Marko has an amazing voice. Props brother.
I'm going to say... Beneath the Sky, Maximum The Hormone, For The Fallen Dreams, and Counterparts.
Your not-so-well-known band that's still a bit known

I've yet to meet another living person who heard tell of Deadlock...

I'll throw out the Dropkick Murphys. They're a great band, and a lot of people hear the music playing around and go "I love this song, do you know who its by?" I guess it's just a bit to hard for regular pop stations, you know the ones who decide who is 'famous'

No clue how popular they are, but I do love Symphony X and I recently got into Ayreon.
Both are Power/Ballad Metal (whatever the genre/s are called). While Symphony X has mostly a different theme for each song, though their most recent albums "Paradise Lost" and "Iconoclast" have more of a story for the albums, Ayreon's albums all have a story behind each one.
"The Human Equation" is about a man going through different stages of his mind while in a coma after a car crash.
"Into the Electric Castle" is about 8 people, taken from different eras of mankind (a Roman, Egyptian, etc) and forced to go through an alien landscape, an alien presence studying them like rats in a maze. Personally, I love this album.
Keep in mind, these are just 2 of my favourite songs. Both bands have differing styles between songs. Not all fast-paced, not all heavy. I definitely suggest looking up all their works and seeing what you like most.

That would be Great Big Sea.

They're very popular in Canada, and fairly popular in the US, but I have yet to meet someone (in person, save at their concerts) who has heard of them. Which isn't to say that they're new - their twentieth anniversary's coming up.

Hmm, I'd have thought Symphony X are fairly well known, I mean they get mentioned along with Dream Theater. I actually just finished listening to their new one Iconoclast- I loved it.Byere said:
Ayreon's definitely obscure though- amazing talent from the guy behind it.
I'm afraid I posted about this prog metal band Wolverine on the other thread, but I have since realised that they've had five albums, so they must have SOME recognition, perhaps not outside their native Sweden though.
I'm not entirely sure if it qualifies, but The Fratellis. They're a small Scottish Indie Rock band. Well, I guess I should say were, they lasted for 3 years, and broke apart in 2009. They only released 2 albums, but their first album "Costello Music" is seriously the best album I've ever heard. One way of knowing them, if you're an American or Canadian hockey fan, is the goal song of the Chicago Blackhawks. The song is called "Chelsea Dagger" which is song five from Costello Music. Kinda sad that they disbanded.
