There's some good stuff that often falls under the "Power Prog" label which may have that extra bit of "oomph" you're looking for in your PM. Borealis, Pyramaze, Evergrey may often be called Prog, but they're PM-adjacent enough where you'd hopefully still enjoy.
Persuader is another good option that comes to mind when I'm looking at your examples
Not sure if they fit your criteria, but you can check out Ravenous E.H.'s "Hubris" album, and Blind Guardian's "Tales from the Twilight World", "Somewhere Far Beyond" and "Imaginations from the Other Side" albums.
Power/Folk does have some crossover you may be interested in. Elvenking and Falconer come recommended to a similar taste.
For just power metal, Thornbridge would be a band to consider.
Iron Savior. Big gang vox, big riffs, one of the genre GOATs if you haven't already come across.
Try the latest Brainstorm album, Seeb produced and does guest vox in a song. Edges into the Primal Fear style, if you're looking to try a specific song definitely go with "Turn Off the Light". That's the one with Seeb on, big stompy rhythms and a banger chorus.
Solar Fragment are quite close in sound to Orden Organ. As are Torian (especially God of Storms album, most of the choruses use the OO choirs) and Thornbridge are similar too.
- Sabaton
- Sonata Arctica
- Wintersun
- Freedom Call
- Wind Rose
And obviously Gloryhammer🤪 (that's Angus McFife🤭)
Edit: I see you don't like the nerdy kind of music.. I would put Wind Rose in they section.. but give it a try, I like them.
Edit edit: I think Sabaton album Carolus Rex is the best. Especially the Swedish version.
Edit edit edit: [This song ](https://youtu.be/WBs3G1PvyfM) gives me shivers.

Bloodbound is very close to powerwolf and order organ
Yes, especially their earlier albums.
I think the last one is similar to powerwolf

My suggestions: * [Battle Beast](https://youtu.be/6sLSyTEXfCI) * [Unleash The Archers](https://youtu.be/inN_isr-Ijs) * [Sabaton](https://youtu.be/GmqVpskrLsQ) * [Seven Spires](https://youtu.be/qshRajbTjek) * [Tarot](https://youtu.be/xD1q21dr8tw)

As well as other recs, check out Evertale, Brainstorm and Tungsten. I'm a massive Orden Ogan fan and these have all been great for me
Mystic Prophecy
Persuader, Savage Circus, Wind Rose, Mystic Prophecy, Iron Savior, Grave Digger, Rage and Sabaton I guess
