Generally, w/ metal bands, the band themselves - sometimes more often just one of them - writes all the shit, and then they play it. Like, if they needed a female vocalist, you'd grab a session artists, and that'd be that.

No one cares about the mixing, that was never part of the discussion. For posterity, tho, for that album, the only other credits are

and Heri is known for generally writing all their stuff, tho it isn't credited, specifically, here, i'm sure if you had the physical album w/ it'd be there.

I mean,

As much as TR would have liked to write, rehearse, and record with a symphony, scheduling conflicts made it impossible. So they did the next best thing. Joensen sent the bands ten thunderous compositions to a Danish colleague, Lars Winther, in England, who added the orchestral samples, paying close attention to the tone and tempo of the songs so the violins, violas, cellos, woodwinds, and horns complimented the traditional rock instruments. When the samples were all in place, the album sounded impressive, but the tones werent perfectly blended. So, TR sent the album to veteran producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, The Black Dahlia Murder, Amaranthe) in Denmark to put together the final mix.

so at least six people we involved in creating the sound of these songs.

When people criticize pop singers for this shit they usually have a problem with producers being credited as co-writers e.g. "this taylor swift track has 5 credited songwriters".

imo it's dumb to denigrate solo musicians for collaborating. most music is a collaborative process

do you shit on Bruce Dickinson because his solo music is nearly all co-written by Roy Z (and more) and he only performs the vocals?
