A lot of post-rock bands might be good for you. Usually atmospheric/instrumental music played with typical rock instruments and little to no vocals.
Some of my favorites are Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, El Ten Eleven, and Sigur Rós.
(although Sigur Rós technically features vocals but it’s a language of nonsense sounds the lead singer Jónsi made up called Hopelandic, so it’s instrumental-voice I guess??)
Mogwai is fantastic, will check out your other suggestions.
Awesome, yeah I'd say Sigur Rós is the most similar to Mogwai on that list (especially Kveikur which is a pretty dark album). The other two usually do more shimmery, pretty guitar tracks rather than the more hard rock/metal/noise influence you get with Mogwai. But check them all out, hope you enjoy!
