I like my vocals clean in my metal and am generally a fan of 3-5 minute songs rather than 8. So this isn't exactly my thing, but if you are also looking for recommendations I have some metal recommendations of stuff I listen to.
When it comes to metal I'd typically look for something like
"The mark stays on" by crimson sun (modern melodic metal)
"Once upon a time" by Roses of thieves (this is folk metal)
"Mr Magic" by reliqa (progressive metalcore)
"Heroes out of time" by Nekonomicon (also melodic metal with some electronic influence)
"Let there be fire" by pagefire (melodic folk metal)
"Lady death" by brave the sea (more folk metal)

Ever tried SuidAkrA? They're a melodic death and folk band which has a range of albums from early death metal to Irish-themed folk tunes. Their violin/ fiddle player is very skilled as well.
