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 got super into “Square Hammer” last Halloween!
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.
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.
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.
Kyuss
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.
Latest band I got really into has gotta be Viagra Boys
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.
Greta van Fleet
Great music.
Same here. Fantastic
Igorr . Ils sont fous, les Français!
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:
One of my favorites of all time! I can listen to both the Agony and Labyrinth albums on loop!
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.
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.
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!
In This Moment - alternative metal (?)
Just finished listening through their discography last week.
ITM is awesome. I love the song “whore”
Bloodywood - A Bollywood themed metal band. Great fun!
Check out the Andre Antunes with Nooran Sisters mashup. (He has more of these with various Indian and Pakistani singers.)
That’s awesome!
