In keeping with my recent appeals of melodic rock/AOR acts, I'd like to bring up Ten for their 2015 album, Isla de muerta. This sounds predominantly melodic heavy metal to me. Here are samples for consideration. Thanks.

Does not sound like it's predominant, meh.

Upon revisiting their catalog, I was wondering if Ten can be reevaluated for their 1999 album, Spellbound. I hear touches of symphonic and power metal scattered about what could be an acceptable melodic HM/HR release. Thanks.

Too borderline. Too many ballads, too many Led Zep-style rock songs, a few sympho power metal moments at times but not predominant. Sorry.
