I'm glad you like Angel Vivaldi. I think they could use more exposure.
I'm not that big a fan of Von Canto, unfortunately. I feel like, after the novelty of them doing a cappella wears off, they just don't have enough complexity in their main melodic lines. Plus I tend to prefer my metal with dirty vocals.
Anyway, this is the first song that really got me into metal. Before I heard this, I was listening to a bit of hard rock and nu-metal(-ish), but this was what really drew me into the harder subgenres.
Opeth - The Grand Conjuration

That kinda' reminds me of Dark Tranquility. Inasmuch as they're both kinda' electronic fusion metal.

You know what's fun? Metal covers of non-metal songs. Let's have some covers.
Here's a cover of R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion, done by Graveworm. It sounds very different when it's done in black metal style.

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.

Cause lifebaka is right and hard rock also belongs here. Just don't use the word metal for a hard rock song. ;]
@Baka that first song sounds amazing. I really love instrumental stuff. Second song was a bit off my usual taste but still good.
How about this guys, metal done almost entirely by vocals?
It's a bit silly to hear a bunch of people imitate guitar riffs, but it's still pretty damn impressive when Van Canto recreates entire songs like this.
Here's a video of them live along with Gravedigger and Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian. Probably mone of the best live performances I've ever seen.
