Deinonychus
Lux Occulta

etc.

choir and operatic singing (Elend, my girlfriend )

Not a big fan of males trying to sing (growl, scream) in metal, I'd ban a lot of them. I seldom mind brutal death metal vocals though, it is often like they become an insrument of its own (also, many of the BDM vocalists use effects so they almost classify as "instruments", haha)
