Was this guy(Norwegian I think, is mentioned in a metal documentary) 1-2 decades ago that did a doctorate study on music and social position/psychology, a bit into the study he completely stopped listening to certain bands...
Music preferences are tied into most peoples core personality, not their apparent one but their actual core, aggressive personalities(not emotions..) tend to prefer aggressive music, intelligent people tend to prefer complex music, metal defines both to a point where much of it surpasses classical music both in complexity as well as range and depth....
That defines my musical tastes even more as my very favorite music is instrumental metal with no vocals. I have about 600 songs on my instrumental metal favorites list on Spotify.
My somewhat eclectic soundcloud likes list, actually some EDM at the top (but even that fits the psychology...), the rest is pretty much all metal

Don't have a preference for no vocals as much as a preference for female vocals(as a dude it is more enjoyable to hear a female voice) when there are vocals..
Completely agree, I like a lot of goth female metal, my favorite being Nightwish. But mostly when Tarja was still with them. And arch enemy is the only growly metal I can take cuz Alissa is so dang hot and they have really good riffs. Their fun to play along with on guitar too.
Also, see you have a lot of Kobra and the Lotus on there- good band and super hot vocalist. Saw them with Fear Factory about ten years ago and had never heard of them. Me and the wife were one of the first ones at the concert site and she was working out before the show. She grabbed some dumbells from the bus and went inside and then she came out in jogging clothes and went running. Later when she came out as the lead singer we were like heyyy…that girl. 😂
