I'm looking for some good metal bands that incorporate electronic elements in their songs. Any suggestions?

I've been listening to The Algorithm a bit lately but it's a bit too ''djenty'' for my taste. Looking for something maybe more traditional.

There are a lot of bands that have both metal and electronic influences.
Celldweller has some pretty innovative stuff, but he's more electronic than metal in my opinion.

As you can see, Celldweller has some pretty huge variety in what he puts out there, and a lot of his songs have remixes and instrumental versions in case you don't like what you're hearing.
Of course, not many of his stuff is really hardcore. For that you'll have to look to Sybreed.

What I've listed here really only scratches the surface, though. There are quite a few bands with varying degrees of electronic stuff in them. These are only the bands I actively listen to.

Rammstein has been a bit hit-or-miss for me for a while. Some of their songs I tried were awesome, some were horrible. Then, just a few nights ago, I started wandering about on Youtube, trying out various songs of theirs.

Ignore the random video clip in the middle of the song. It doesn't mean anything as far as I can tell.

Winner for favorite song of all time right there. First time I would ever use the word "beautiful" to describe a metal song, but that's definitely the proper word, especially once you learn the lyrics and the meaning behind them.

Then you've probably not listened to a lot of metal bro. Rammstein are pretty good, a lot of poser kiddies overrate the shit out of them, a lot of elitists think they're mainstream crap... honestly for me they're a pretty fun band to jam once in a while that puts one hell of a show live.

But back to the point, there's tons and tons of metal that can be described as beautiful, interestingly enough most that come to mind would be instrumentals. How about this one, for starters:

Some of the most beautiful guitar work I've ever heard, to be honest.

RIP Dismember, one of the finest products of the Swedish metal scene and metal in general.

That was a pretty good song, but that was cool, fast-paced, powerful and a bunch of other adjectives, but not beautiful. It's a good song in a different way from Morgenstern.

Morgenstern, for some reason, struck a cord with me. The way it switches from a beautiful choir chorus to this dark, dry singing with an extremely down tuned guitar in the background was definitely an interesting contrast, and it really complimented the lyrics.
The lyrics were the part that really got to me, especially the part where the woman's beloved reveals his true colors. I mean, the song makes you think he really cares for this ugly woman, in spite of everything. Then, the singing gets dark again and he then reveals that he believes the one thing that would hurt her the most. Heck, the singer almost seems to spit it out every time he says it: ugly.
The song switches between phases of beautiful singing and choruses, making your heat swell up in your chest, only to instantly crush and poison your heart into withered shreds. Then, it does it all again. The song is a tale of hope and of torture, of condemnation and of love. It's definitely one of those things you wouldn't think would fit in a metal song in a millions years, but it worked.

By god, it worked.

I could go on for a million years about why I like this song, but it I understand that this is my favorite song. Everyone has "that" song, the one that stands head and shoulders above anything and everything else. This one may not be yours, or your friends', or your brother's, but it sure is mine, for whatever odd reason.


Oh and I'm not quite sure what constitutes "a lot" of metal, but I've listened to a few hundred songs of pretty much every metal genre and metal derivative, from death and doom to industrial and nu, if that means anything. I still have a lot to learn, though.
