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!
Congrats on finding the best band ever 🤘
Do this song next
Kyuss
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:
Electric Callboy!!
They’re a German electronicore band who fuses metal, EDM and techno and they’re pretty fun/funny
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.
Kaleo - rock and roll from Iceland
Amigo the Devil - found on a murderfolk playlist
Parov Stellar - techno-swing
Bridge City Sinners - murderfolk
Mariache el Bronx - mariache cover band
Plastic Bertrand - French surf rock (?)
If you like Amigo the Devil and don't know them already, check out Harley Poe. Murderfolk/Horrorfolk
Will do, thanks!
They've been around or several years now, but I just discovered Brothers of Metal a month or so ago from one of their tracks being in the game Pistol Whip, and I'm slowly becoming obsessed.
They're such a fun balance of epic viking fantasy and tongue in cheek humor.
POWERSNAKE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpiK6ncKQfM
The Other Son of Odin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFGkutszRFA

I’m currently waiting for Jesse Welles to take the stage. His song “RED” hooked me hard.
In the span of like 2 weeks I discovered a bunch of new music. I never get why people cling onto the stereotype that you stop listening to new music once you hit a certain age. I'm finding new shit all the time.
Die Spitz - Doom/Punk/Grunge band from Texas. They have really wild shows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB01l-V_vAE
Tropical Fuck Storm - Aussie Rock & Roll. Kind of a sad boy druggy aesthetic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t663s10WwPE
Earth Tongue - New Zealand classic Heavy Metal with Ozzy and Satan in mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs
Spite - Deathcore. Kinda boring old school Myspace era stuff to be honest. Takes me back to 2007 when I was a wee lad though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs
Am I the crusty Deathmetal head now?
Fcukers have been putting out an astonishing amount of music in the last year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyJat1RGPi4
Which is awesome, Nora wasn't going to be able to keep Vengaboys vibe alive alone forever.
Shits too depressing these days to not have mindless party music.
Oh, I like. Silly club music is the other genre besides metal that can hack my shitty brain into working for a few hours, and they've got a nice beat.
Bon Bon is pretty good too. Sounds like almost the same beat to me?
Castle Rat: Medieval Fantasy Heavy Metal. I would say more Rock than metal, and kind of an 80s feel.
They are incredible. Great music, fun lyrics, presence and themes to their shows.
Also shout out to MIRE and their new album. Heavy metal.
Castle Rat are mostly heavy/doom with lots of emulation of Black Sabbath. For some reason several such woman-fronted bands cropped up in recent-ish years, namely also Druidess and Hail Darkness
I probably heard stuff on the radio (CBC-1) and even on Lemmy that I've taken a liking to the first time I've heard them, but have yet to search for them. But here are a few relatively recent stuff. I pretty sure I've listened to each of the first 3 at least 10x, maybe ≥20x.
Clarissa - Ela [might be "bedroom pop"/lo-fi/dream pop/techno-pop/soft] (2021)
https://lemmy.world/post/18462542
ELA - Clarissa

(You can probably download this directly from Vimeo.)
Yeah, I know, 2 young attractive barefoot women who kiss in the end and the translation, IIUC, indicates that her parents wouldn't understand their relationship, but I've taken quite a liking to the music.
Ivana Máchová & Miriam Hrušková - Terezka [sounds a bit like ABBA] (1979)
https://lemmy.world/post/35969218
Cold Showers - "Sliver" (Official Video) (they sound a bit like Depeche Mode)
https://lemmy.world/post/31824931
[21st dekaday, 2787 YAE] Laura (music by Nick Gudgeon; Dancer Laura Beanland Stephens) [the music has a bit of a Tycho feel to it] (2018)

American Bandstand 1963 – TOP 10 – Sally, Go 'Round The Roses, The Jaynetts

"Sally go round the roses
(Sally go round the pretty roses)
They won't tell your secret

Also, this sounds like great My Bloody Valentine: 😁🙂

It's been a year or so but probably Reagan Youth
Men I Trust
Really got into? The Strokes three or four years ago.
They kinda blew up recently because of their KEXP performance, but I discovered Angine de Poitrine like 2 weeks before that.
I also discovered 88Kasyo Junrei around the same time. Fantastic band.
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.
Haywire. Musically they might not hit me as deep and profound as say, Bad Religion. But for live show intensity… Fuck, it’s like the 90s again. A sweaty crush of humanity getting their eardrums blown while someone back-flipping off the balcony knocks their teeth out. Fun for all ages!
I don’t know how new they are but band of horses and Lord Huron
I definitely meant "new to you". My example is like a decade old, but I discovered them just recently.
Ladrones
I don't know Spanish.
More artists than bands, but:
Lubalin and Su Lee
I need to check out if Ashnikko has anything other than Worms that is good. I found the song looking for songs specifically about BPD and the list I was using said most of her discography is about it.
Fluisteraars and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (specifically the microtonal albums).
A few recent ones are Ducks Ltd, Cindy Lee and MJ Lenderman/ Wednesday.
