dark music - no electronic, hiphop, or vocals

So around this time of year with things getting colder and the nights having a different vibe than summer nights, I really enjoy listening to Dimmu Borgir's album Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia.

Especially around 4:18, with the piano.

Around 1:30.

1:01 again with piano. and at 5:03 the atmospheric stuff is nice too.

at 2:35, the vocals especially

really great guitar riffs, more great clean vocals, pretty much the whole song is a good example of what I'm looking for

So I'm just asking for recommendations of any kind of music that has a similar feeling to these parts, whether its solo piano, a symphonic/orchestral thing, or a metal band, preferably not another black metal band unless they're instrumental and the production isn't obnoxious. I absolutely love the guitar parts, minor chord sound(?), chromatic riffs, and the dark symphonic layers, but the production ruins it for me a lot of the time, especially if the drums and vocals sound like shit. I love blast beats and I can imagine how the vocals might really compliment the music (I kinda like the vocals of Wolves in the Throne Room), but it's hard to find a band that isn't fatiguing to listen to, where I can hear the notes of the guitar and not just noise.
Also I'm really interested in finding classical/orchestral stuff or all acoustic stuff for the tremolo guitar riffs that are typical of black metal.
And not like Impaled Northern Moonforest XD

tl;dr: stuff that sounds like black metal without the vocals or drums?
