That symphonic touch is usually most consistent with power metal bands
you can look into:
Sonata Arctica
Nightwish
Symphony X
Epica
Blind Guardian
Kamelot
Edguy
Iced Earth
Helloween
Dream Theater

i agree with most of these, but definitely not dream theatre. i reckon iced earth, edguy and blind guardian are kindof argueable.

and you forgot the most epic symphonic power metal band of them all

RHAPSODY

or otherwise known as rhapsody of fire

that is the fucking epic shit right there.

*gasps!!!* i did? HOW DARE I

I'd consider Dream Theatre. imo they have that symphonic touch but it is different compared to the other bands i mentioned :/. but tis up to what exactly an individual is looking for i guess

also, Stratovarious, Angra, Hammerfall, Gamma Ray and Avantasia are some others i remembered :D
