Recommend some bands that mix metal with other genres. It's an advantage if the mix also works, but, it's not required. As long as it has an original sound I'll look into it.
 
I take it you've checked out techno Black Metal like Blacklodge and Neo Inferno 262.

Actually, I've never heard of Neo Inferno 262, but I'm rather familiar with techno/industrial black metal (awesome subgenre), and I wouldn't be needing more recommendations in that department. Thanks anyway.

Lykathea Aflame mixes death metal with classical and folk, super weird but it's damn good and technical.
 
Diablo Swing Orchestra

Great band.

Symphony X has sometimes mixed in elements of Arabian music. Although I have never found a band that does this all the time. Or one that uses the Arabic music system (24 tones to an octave).

I heard a band that mixed Black Metal and Power Metal but I forgot their name.
