Audiophile metal albums

What are some well recorded, great sounding metal albums?

I think Tool for sure. But looking for other examples, preferably with non-growling vocals.

But even given that, Opeth for instance sounds really, really good. Well recorded, and of course the music is excellent. It's just that I dislike the growling vocals. I'm a fan of Iron Maiden esque melodious stuff, wondering if there are current/modern bands that capture that feel but also with high fidelity. Pantera albums were well recorded as well. But I know their music already.

Opeth for reference: No growling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAuL3AszIiE&list=PL_9gWeiShHFGZPQvoPc0vo7CtiQZUdM0R&index=3 With growling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeTNkPXRrVY&list=PL_9gWeiShHFHzpU20PyVHiawAuPCJH9qH&index=4
