Way earlier in the thread someone listed "hybris" by Anglagard. I was listening to that not too long ago and while it is mostly instrumental there are a few sections with vocals(in swedish) on it.

That begs the question - is an instrumental something without words or something without any vocal sounds?
(e.g. is Hocus Pocus an instrumental if it has yodelling?).

An instrumental usually avoids any sounds produced by the voice. Usually. An impromptu yelp may get a pass.
