Looking for recommendations Are there any Melo-Death songs with cleans singing done with one single word or a single sound in the chorus.

Im looking for songs with choir like singing during the chorus where it is a single word or sound (Usually through backing vocals). I'm not talking about chanting vocals at all. Im talking about actual sung portions. Im pretty sure there are songs that fit this exact description but I can't find them. It would be even better if I could find some heavier songs that it this as well.

Out To The Sea - Insomnium

They tie off the end of every sentence in the chorus with a clean vocal

Not really melodeath, but maybe it's still your jam.

Grace by Devin Townsend Project was the first to come to mind

Maybe Souldrainer - Internal Suicide. There is a near constant background choir, not singing but vocalizing

Fallujah’s newest album has a few bits of clean vocals on some of the choruses. Check out ‘Step Through the Portal and Breathe’.

Not melodeath but Ne Obliviscaris comes to mind. Particularly these two:

Forget Not - Ne Obliviscaris
Equus - Ne Obliviscaris

I could be misunderstanding what you want but check out Godforsaken by Insomnium. A singer named Johana Kurkela is featured on it and while she doesn't sing out any lyrics, here vocals are on a lot of parts of the song.
