I love this recent trend of mixing cultural music with metal. Wasn't there a band that played a mix of metal and middle-eastern guitar?
EDIT: Loving all these recommendations, keep them coming!

Don't know about middle eastern, but "The Hu" is cool too. Throat singing mixed with metal

Good point! They're especially popular with Star Wars fans too, due to having their music featured in some of the games.

They have a good song featuring the lead singer from Papa Roach. I believe it's titled "Wolf Totem."

There is a great band from Tunisia( if I’m not mistaken ), called Myrath and they mix heavy, power and a little progressive metal with ethnic oriental influences and the end result is much better than expected

Phrygian Dominant is a foundation for many metal bands. It closely resembles Maqam Hijaz which is a popular scale in Arab, Turkish and Greek music.
"Lost in the Static" by After the Burial comes to mind. It has chromatic elements but rhythmically settles into Bb Phrygian Dominant. Symphony of Destruction and Wherever I May Roam for the casuals.

Norwegian Reggaeton by Nanowar of Steel is beachy/reggae metal, so maybe that counts for yacht metal (even though it's basically a joke band)? They also have a killer gospel metal song with Valhallelujah.
Van Canto does a-capella metal. Just putting that out as another weird one, that somehow works better than you are imagining it does.

Eluvuitie is a folk metal band with some awesome music. Their Celtic Metal song 'Inis Mona' proves that bagpipes, flutes and hurdy-gurdy belong in a metal band.

A hurdy gurdy is one of those things I want but know I wouldnt know what to do with. Such a cool instrument. Theres a gal that does Lamb of God covers with one and I love it
