Harmonic Minor Scale
The harmonic minor scale is a very sinister sounding scale that is used often by players like Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, and Tony MacAlpine just to name a few. Use this scale over a minor triad or power chord of the key you're in. Use A harmonic minor over an A minor triad or an A power chord. It can also be used over D minor, E major, or F major, when these chords are used in a progression that centers around an A minor triad or an A power chord. You'll hear this one all over the place in metal and neo-classical. It is very simular to the aeolian mode, actually only one note makes the difference between them and that note is the raised seventh degree.
