I'm not really that much into metal, especially with growled vocals, but Opeth is one of the best bands I've ever heard. The growling and heavy riffs are always contrasted by some nimble acoustic (or melodic electric) sections and incredible clean vocals. For some examples of this, check out the songs Godhead's Lament, Moonlapse Vertigo, and The Drapery Falls. Make sure you listen to the whole thing, though, and with an open ear.
If you like the softer sections of the songs, but hate the hard/growling parts, check out their album, "Damnation," which is comprised entirely of acoustic and melodic songs with no growling.
