I can handle hard metal, so called 'death' metal, 'black' metal and whatever other terms you want to use. i cannot handle 'thrash' metal (which is just noise). It MUST be musical overall, not just a bunch of idiots beating on strings. The absolute worst thing is the distorted overdub track that is supposed to be some kind of lyrics.
Nux Vomica has one track (Reeling) I found by accident. The music is spectacular, one person I directed to it called it 'epic'. But it has that horrible noise dubbed over it. At least it's dubbed in a way that I can more or less ignore it and enjoy the music. I'd love to find an instrumental version without the noise. I've tried a few of their others and can't tolerate any of them.
Another is called Fear Satan by Mogwai, supposedly out of Scotland of all places. Really, quite a good instrumental piece. Very hard, very metal. But also musical.
Epica, terrific symphonic/orchestral hard metal. Fantastic voice of Simone Simmons when she SINGS. But they also do far too much of the distorted overdubbing that seriously detracts from how good the music is.
I don't do links or videos, so without only a band name and no description of the music, I have no idea what type of music some of you are referring to.
