I’ve been getting into decades old music since.
Seconding Castle Rat and Unleash the Archers. To add diversity, I found Cellar Darling around the some time. Some type of metal, vague Scandinavian influence, ethereal vocals, and, now a necessity to life, hurdy-gurdy solos
Ghost. Square Hammer is the song that initially melted my face off.
Edit: Almost forgot, I think I got into Dirt Poor Robins even more recently. I just love their sound, it’s like nothing I’ve heard before. A lot of their songs possess religious undertones, but not obnoxiously so. Some faves:
I started listening to Ghost a few years ago after listening to Square Hammer. They are so good I have no idea how I got through my life without hearing them earlier. Love their costumes as well.
I got super into “Square Hammer” last Halloween!
You found a fantastic band to get into! My wife and I are bummed Ghost’s current tour is done, we went to four of them because the production value of their latest tour was so damn good.
I got into them a few years ago and for me it was the live video of ‘Mary on a cross’ which then got me into their discography.
Congrats on finding the best band ever 🤘
Do this song next
Kyuss
Latest band I got really into has gotta be Viagra Boys
Greta van Fleet
Great music.
Same here. Fantastic
Vendredi sur Mer (Switzerland) - catchy, original electropop with a lot of lullaby-ish spoken word. Much of Charline’s early work was co-written by wunderkind Lewis Ofman.

Well I’m not exactly sure on the specifics of what this song’s about, but it’s catchy and I like the video.
The song’s about emotional ambivalence in relationships. That whole first album of hers is just fabulous.
A timely question! I’ve been listening to Neutral Milk Hotel a lot recently, and for the first time. I’d heard of the band back in the day, but somehow never listened. The Wikipedia entry lists a number of my favorite bands as influenced by them, so I guess it’s no surprise that I enjoy it so much.
I just found out about fleshgod apocalypse, they’re fantastic. If symphonic death metal speaks to you it’s worth checking them out!
A few choices:
Checking them out now via their most popular videos on yt. I’m digging “Epilogue!”
One of my favorites of all time! I can listen to both the Agony and Labyrinth albums on loop!
symphonic death metal
Might also want to check out the classics, Therion’s ‘Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas’ and ‘Lepaca Kliffoth’. They aren’t very symphonic, but are the points where Therion were moving from death-doom to their proper developed sound.
Igorr . Ils sont fous, les Français!
Electric Callboy!!
They’re a German electronicore band who fuses metal, EDM and techno and they’re pretty fun/funny
Igorrr - can’t understand no one around me have ever heard about them.
The last one is Lord of the Lost. Scratched the itch of getting a metal band that I don’t have to worry about being a nazi cult in the future.
Damn, these songs are good on their own, he’s got a nice rich voice. But then oh my fuck, also the costume work is hella good.

A friend told me about Bad Omens (metal) and I’ve been listening to them. I don’t usually like heavy music these days, but sometimes it can be cool and they have some clever lyrics.
