I don't really acknowledge the presence of the voice in metal as anything more than an instrument most of the time, so basically, ALL metal is instrumental for me. :)

Listen to Dark Empire and tell me the vocals are an instrument :)

In some genre's I guess you can say that, but for alot of others .... you can't...

Like Symphonic Black / Power / Metal-core and some Melo-D
 
First that come immediately to my mind, excluding instrumental bands of course.

Iron Maiden - Transylvania (epic)
Candlemass - The Prophecy (narrating doesn't count)
Metallica - Orion (how gay of all of you that only 1 (?) person except me, mentioned that)

I dunno about that, I find instrumental qualities in all vocal styles, no matter how shitty they are. Although, now that I think about it, I usually only apply this to harsh vocals. Damn, I haven't listened to a band with clean vocals for too long. o_O
