And for anyone who thinks Laine only did jazz, here she is singing Pierrot Lunaire

I saw this performed in The Queenās Hall at the Edinburgh Festival a few years back. Among the most viscerally moving pieces Iāve heard live.

I like new classic and especially Hania Rani.

A mixture of Magnum, Thunder FM and Blood Red Saints. But does depend on my mood. Could be Punk, Free or British classical music!
I like the minimalist composer Max Richterās work here with the filmed backdrop of extreme slow motion waves used in the Woolf Works ballet by Wayne McGregor. Posted on Vimeo by the filmmaker. (Just the sound of waves for the first three minutes or so.)
The performances are also beautiful if you like contemporary ballet.

To add a bit more metal:
Zeal and Ardor (not sure what to call it, Gospel Black Metal?)
Summoning (looking at what genre Wikipedia puts them in, I just learned that āDungeon Synthā exists :D):

Summoning is great. Iād say atmospheric hobbit black metal.
This is interesting. When you said Gospel my mind went straight to Batuskha due to their orthodox chants 
But itās completely different of course, the only similarity is the overall genre being bm.

I donāt like Christmas songs (and itās the middle of summer), but this I recently started to like this drumstep songā¦ like it actually works
Probalby more nazgul than hobbit :D.
I actually only have the Old Mornings Dawn album. After listening to the song you posted, I now much better understand why one would call it dungeon synth.

I have to say, Iām rather surprised (and impressed) that thereās some love for harsh vocals in this thread. In my experience, itās hard to find people who like it outside the extreme metal scene, and even in progressive metal circles, itās not universally loved.
I only came to appreciate it in the last couple of years. Previously it was a big turn off when I heard someone growling, shouting, screaming, etc. because itās obviously not easy on the ears. But I took advice from someone who told me to stop thinking of it as vocals but as more of an instrument.
Iām still picky about which harsh vocals I like, but Opeth really opened the door for me because Mikael Akerfeldt is one of the best growlers out there. I think their latest album is a great introduction for people learning to appreciate harsh vocals. And Iād also recommend Wilderun.

My taste in music is all over the place. Not many genres where I canāt find something to like.
My latest discovery (this week) is Black Spikes, a metal band from Lithuania. Canāt stop listening to them.
This one is just beautiful:
Great video (and the thumbnail that caught my eye on YouTube):
Creepy. And those vocalsā¦
Make sure to check out the rest of their videos on YouTube.
Only Devin Townsend. Guess I now know what my next āprojectā is 
Pretty good indeed. Except for those insipid cleans that seems to afflict so many US metal acts 
I approve of your taste in music 
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Rosso and The Birthday (more or less the same members) are some of my favourite bands ever. Unfortunately Chiba Yusuke, the singer, died last year, so there wonāt be any more.
