I know one so far, Legend of Arthur and the Roundtable, but I want to learn about more and listen to more for inspiration and the story telling potential it holds.

Any suggestions would be great

Power Metal:

Blind Guardian - Nightfall on Middle Earth is all Tolkien mythology Rhapsody of Fire was created their own middle earth inspired lore and all albums are chapters in it

Black Metal:

Summoning is all about Tolkien mythology including some songs in Elvish.

Blind Guardian is an excellent pick for mythical metal. And Then There Was Silence is based on The Iliad and Aeneid.

Agreed. They're a solid power metal pick regardless as well
