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.
Congrats on finding the best band ever 🤘
Do this song next
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.
Electric Callboy!!
They’re a German electronicore band who fuses metal, EDM and techno and they’re pretty fun/funny
Kyuss
A few recent ones are Ducks Ltd, Cindy Lee and MJ Lenderman/ Wednesday.
I think for me that might be Unleash the Archers. I ended up looking through their discography and while their earlier stuff was a tad rough, everything from the album “Apex” onward is great. The quintessential UtA single for me is Awakening.
Someone snuck their song Northwest Passage into a sea shanty Playlist and then they were in my life from then on. Soulbound is in my rotation, too
My roommate said he was trying to find bands that reminded him of Gojira and found them YouTube. For me the one song that reminds me of them is “Tonight we ride” from the intro to everything after it’s just my favorite.
Igorr . Ils sont fous, les Français!
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.
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.
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.
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!”
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.
One of my favorites of all time! I can listen to both the Agony and Labyrinth albums on loop!
