Should metal just be considered a supergenre covering a massive number of styles at this point? Like, there's stuff in this very thread that really doesn't sound anything like each other.
Anyway, I have been listening to a lot of Charred Walls of the Damned. I'm not sure what general opinion on this band was when they were active, but they're a lot more "ear worm-y" than you'd expect from the name, also not much in the way of metal screaming/growling/whatever. For some reason, Giantbomb isn't letting me post a video, so here's a link to one of their songs. And another!
Over the past year or two I've been listening to... I guess "calmer" stuff? I hesitate to call it "calmer", but I've become a lot more picky about songs that use harsh vocals primarily. I used to like Colors, mentioned above, but tried to listen to it again somewhat recently and found that I kind of actually hate their harsh vocals. Opeth's older albums are still incredible, though, as are Amon Amarth, Black Crown Initiate, and Rivers of Nihil - but I've listened to more later Opeth and later Mastodon lately, as well as some Steven Wilson. Stuff that some would argue isn't even metal anymore, just prog rock with a harder edge to it, or in the Steven Wilson case prog rock with an occasional wink towards something heavier.
That said, up until recently I was listening to an awful lot of The Contortionist, another band that used to fall squarely in heavy metal territory but largely gave up the screaming and crushing rhythms for a much different, proggier sound that's still pretty metal but less aggressive and a lot more thoughtful. Really recommend basically everyone give this a listen.
But if you're looking for something crushingly heavy with nary a sung vocal to be found, I have to recommend Gorgut's Pleiades' Dust. It's a thirty three minute long fucking monster of a song about an ancient library called The House of Wisdom that was eventually destroyed in a war.
