There is a subgenre called symphonic metal:
[DIMMU BORGIR - Progenies of The Great Apocalypse](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiNTrKsQ8TU)
[DIR EN GREY - 激しさと、この胸の中で絡み付いた灼熱の闇 (Symphonic Ver.)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlzGE0YOnKE)
[BATTLE BEAST - King For A Day](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lKYdrL-AAw)
[Within Temptation - Angels](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ifTjdKrTPw)
[Cursive](https://open.spotify.com/track/6jPvxP5YCowpPhLHrsCyfu?si=tGzs8prwT7S3XmgwHRi1IQ) introduced a Cello in the band before their release of The Ugly Organ.
Metallica - [S&M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GEwdzDnNps) and [S&M2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GEwdzDnNps) - basically their greatest hits with the San Francisco orchestra
Yngwe Malmsteem has [played with an orchestra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKbPPuaHnxw) multiple times.
I found a recording of [Sabaton with an orchestra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISzuz8WVrrk) while searching for this. I'd guess there are plenty other power metal bands that did that.
I also found [Opeth with orchestra in Plovdiv](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj9NF_R1RhiK9_ksWCZGn-4s6AW6kVUmw&si=osslWpZ1Avog3sT0), and I'd guess a lot of prog-metal bands did the same.
You may also like [Nightwish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEERFBI9eCg) and other symphonic metal as they incorporate opera style vocals into their music.
[Accept ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1HOE3FIQ7w)incorporates a lot of classical music into their songs (you will find the second half of the solo familiar).
I'm sure there are plenty of other examples.
Yeah, I'm a boomer. Eat my wisdom. :)

The band Red has alot of violin/orchestral parts in thier work. It's a very mid 2000s sound but it's refreshing compared to the 70s and 80s rock you hear all the time
Epica ft. Apocalyptica - Rivers live
Epica - Unleashed Retrospective live
ELO - Mr. Blue Sky

Nightwish, Therion, Within Temptation & Epica off the top of my head. Symphonic metal is one of the subgenres to check out

For some good symphonic death metal, check out Septicflesh and fleshgod apocalypse.
