Neo Classical Metal recomendations (that arent Golden Resurrection)

Looking for Christian NeoClassic metal. I love Golden Resurrection as a band but can never get into Christians volcals. Are there any others to try?

Would Impelletteri fit this? It's Christian-friendly.

Good thought I think early does. Thanks

I wish there was more as well. I grew up in classical music and like a good chunk of Malmsteen's music.

Same here, Im hoping to unearth some 

If anyone can, it's you!!

Of course, Ted Kirkpatrick has some classical stuff, but i dont think any of it would actually classify as neoclassical metal.

There's not really a lot of that even in the secular realm. Rob Rock is on an album with Axel Rudi Pell that's pretty safe lyrically. Have you heard the Narnia without Christian on vocals?

Yeah I own Course of a Generation. Thats sad that it isnt a popular genre.  Ive listened to some Shining Star and they have their moments but they are more melodic power metal

Narnia, Harmony, Fourth Estate, etc. etc.

Cant say I would put Harmony in that genre but.. Ill check out Fourth Estate and etc. etc. 

Harmony borrows most of their sound from Yngwie, the definition of neo-classical

OK works for me

I wouldn't call Harmony neo-classical. But if we're trying to get as close to the genre as possible, it might work. Some of their keyboard solos could be labelled as such.

Even though Affector is thoroughly prog metal, Daniel Fries uses a lot of neo-classical type sweeping and minor harmonic scales in his guitar playing.  Tons of keyboard solos as well.

And no one mentioned ReinXeed:

Most shredders rip off Yngwie.

I know that Northern Flame described themselves as neoclassical, at least for their debut album

I forgot about them, would they be considered Christian or Christian Friendly?

I think he is a Gnostic going by his HM interview.
