This is truly a marriage of classical music and metal, with a wide variety of vocal styles (some choirs, excellent female sopranos, and yet also prominent male death growls) and the various non-metal instruments are all as essential to the overall sound as the guitars, basses and drums.
It's an interesting mix, with the heavier parts resembling mid-paced doomdeath (though not as dreary or ponderous as that genre can be), and the lighter interludes being, well, classical (there's really no other way to describe it).
