I checked out Epica Consign to Oblivian & We'll Take You With Us, and both had at least one sample song with Cookie. The samples are only several seconds so it's hard to tell if the male vocals are a big part of the songs, I'd say not. It's interesting that these albums release dates are only 2 months apart, I wonder if they are reissues and have different original dates. CTO is more symphonic where WTYWU seems to have more thrash style guitar. Eden Bridge samples were few but on Sunrise in Eden no CMV was found. Sirenia, An Elixir For Existence the male vocals were mixed, some normal and some rough but not quite CM, they were still understandable, a couple female vocal songs. At 6's & 7's seemed to have the male and female vocals woven together in the songs more and sound like a good Metal album. Trismania, Beyond the Veil definitely CMV. I didn't hear much female vocals, especially in a lead on this album, but the music was great. I might have to get this even though it's not my type of vocals, the style does fit the feel of the album. About the same for Widows Weed. I liked the keyboard style of BTV better. Leaves Eyes was a beauty & the beast mix of vocals and my least favorit of all the bands. No samples of Within Temptation was available on Amazon.
