You might like Ironflame, they're American power metal with some Euro tendencies (amusingly also an Ohio band). You've probably heard of Eternal Champion but they're pretty damn good (and last time I checked avowedly apolitical). Also Atlantean Kodex is an amazing band.
The lead vocalist for Grand Magus threw me for a similar loop initially. Thought he was American until I looked them up and found out they were (of course) Swedish.
Edit: The Brothers of Metal and Eclipse tracks are great, thanks! You might try Seekers of the Blade or Blood Red Cross for Ironflame and Lion of Chaldea or Sol Invictus for Antlantean Kodex.

Definitely like what I have heard thus far of Ironflame! And thank you for the other options as well.
