Can be from any genre. Mine is when an acoustic guitar comes in towards the end of a song and totally changes or reframes the mood/energy (see "Money" by Widowspeak)

Mixing metal with other genres or introducing instruments or elements that you otherwise wouldn't expect in metal.

By now most of these are considered to be subgenres of metal but for me it blew my mind when I first encountered them.

Bands like Ayreon, Avantasia, Subscribe, Therion, Haggard, Nightwish, Ostura, just to name a few.

Wheel of Time by Blind Guardian is one of my all-time favorites. Looking at the other bands you linked, I'm guessing you've already heard it; but for others reading this, clicky the linky!

Symphonic Metal is such a small genre though... I want more! Q_Q

Yellowcard with the violin, not metal exactly but 3 guitars and a violin sound good.
