I wish I weren't so picky about music. It's hard finding metal which is heavy, has really powerful guitars and lots of solos, but sing in low-pitched growl or clean vocals (instead of Death/Black metal screaming or the more high pitched growling) and aren't power metal (hate you so much >.> )

Agree so hard.

I thought I was the only one.

 Anyway, not listening to anything at the time. Would listen if I knew more good bands.

Something along the lines of the heavier productions of Alestorm?

 Slower and darker would be preferable. Also I dislike viking/pirate/ninja (forget that band ever existed) or any other warrior culture specific metal. Though I haven't heard a lot so there could be exception. I would prefer something that's closer to pure metal. Yeah I'm very picky about music.

Hmm maybe I'll look into it later.

As a quick fix:
What about Immortal Souls?
Probably doesn't feature the singing-style you wish, though.

Edit: It would help if you could post examples of something similar to what you are looking for.

 I checked Immortal Souls. It's closer, but the lyrics style isn't what I want. The lyrics would be like Machine Head's or Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's growling and the guitars would sound like Meshuggah or the heavier part of the groove metal sub-genre. But anyway you should probably give up because I'm too picky for my own good, and no one is forcing you to look for bands I would like anyway. I appreciate the help though.

Maybe "Beneath These Waves" by Demons & Wizards?  Some Metallica ("Unforgiven"), Iced Earth ("Slave to the Dark", though maybe it's not slow enough), and maybe Iron Maiden ("The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg") might fit the bill.  Also some Therion ("Birth of Venus Illegitima").

 I'm currently listening to Iced Earth - Slave to the Dark as suggested. Sounds good. I'll check out Therion next. Demons & Wizards though, I won't be checking because it sounds like something that will definitely have me called a nerd. Also the name sounds like it's power metal.
 Also Metallica is ok, I guess and I dislike Iron Maiden's vocalist.

Edit: Checked out Therion. I dislike most female vocals and opera vocals.

Wait, so you listen to certain music not because you like it, but because it has prestige value?

Yeah, Iced Earth is pretty good too. But weren't you looking for lower-pitched tracks?

[Vertigon]

Right now?

Shit Outta Luck by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

In general, Lots of Ska. Just finished downloading a bunch of Skavoovie and The Epitones.

Would The Barrymores be considered ska? I'm unfamiliar with the name, but I enjoy them. And the Aquabats, too

 Not really. I'm saying it's probably fantasy metal. Most of which is close to power metal. It probably has a lot of electronic sound effects and operatic vocals.
 Plus listening to metal in itself has low prestige value.

This is pretty sweet.  That is all.
