Need möre epic/ängry föreign müsic

I'm going through an intense Neue Deutsche Härte phase right now. Trouble is, I'm running out of stuff I like. NEED MORE. Seeking recommendations along those lines, though not necessarily German. Examples follow...

Among my favorites lately:
Megaherz
-Das Licht am Ende der Welt
-Shwarzer Engel
-Wir Könnten Götter Sein
(mainly their later stuff)

Eisbrecher
-Kann denn Liebe Sünde Sein?
-Kinder der Nacht
(though much of their stuff is too dancey for me)

Unheilig
-Spiegelbild
-Wie Viele Jahre
(though some of their stuff isn't quite hard enough for me)

...and, of course, most Rammstein.

So, dark industrial dance metal, but more on the metal side than the dance side, generally. There's got to be a melody, too; vocals should be at least kinda/sometimes "clean."

My preference would be for anything that's not in English. Don't care what language. I wouldn't really know where to begin looking for stuff along these lines that's not German. Hopefully I'm not fixated on too narrow a genre! :/

I'm not averse to stuff that might tread a little bit across the line into outright corny, but Lindemann's solo album left me cold FWIW. Also not looking for the likes of Lacuna Coil, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Opeth, etc.

How about some Hedningarna?

You might also like some Garmarna (ignore the visuals in the video) and Hoven Droven.

Joachim Witt jumped on the NDH band wagon pretty early (with 1998's epic Bayreuth 1 and subsequent albums Bayreuth 2 and 3). Maybe more along the lines of Unheilig than Rammstein, but worth a listen. The band Oomph is another option, e.g. 1995's Defekt.

Try looking in YouTube for Laibach ("Rammstein for grownups", also in a recent thread in the Blue), :wumpscut:, KMFDM or Oomph!.

A friend of mine told me about Ghost recently, who definitely have a nifty aesthetic.
Singing is in English, but the music, what I've checked out so far, sounds like it's at least in the same galaxy as what you're after.

Secular Haze

Year Zero
