Those examples are metal but compared to western "real" /non VK metal bands (as some metal elitists put it), it's the chorus that makes it distinct. VK has a habit of mixing unadulterated metal sections with harsh vocals, to pop sounding choruses, typically clean vocals. Sometimes this isn't even limited to choruses.
If I listened to the intro and verse blindfolded, I'd think this was some tr00 technical death metal. Bridge comes in and it starts sounding like symphonic metal. Chorus comes in and it sounds like pop rock haha. You'd never hear this in any other metal scenes.
Jiluka is another band that comes to mind that does this. Deathcore everything, then pop chorus.
