I'll seed you Seven Sisters (UK), Riot city (Can), Traveler (Can), Toledo Steel (UK), Road Wolf (Austria), Bullet (Swe), Crazy Lixx (Swe).

Take those to BandCamp/Metal Archives and look for "bands like" these and you'll see there are hundreds of UK, Canadian and Swedish bands.

There is also the ever awesome Jorn (Swe) still putting out amazing Heavy Metal.

Hope that helps. No need to listen to power metal ;)

Traveler is amazing, I second that recommendation.

Also, a point of interest: Riot City and Traveler are both from Calgary.

Vancouver, Calgary and Quebec City are sort of the trio of metal in Canada; AFAICT.

Jorn is (Nor), not (Swe)

- A Norwegian

I'll fetch the oars. These folks need a visit

I'll never accept Norway's separation! /s

A Brit here... sorry. Epic singer either way.
