I've been getting into tech house lately. It's fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.

And anything else on my Japanese music playlist :D
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1qp2kWRqMd77nsVXr2jG5um4DpMWNn5Y
Check out the album Glitter by Pasteboard. It's some good Japanese Shoegaze.
British band "Jungle" has been in heavy rotation for me the past ~6 months. Specifically watch their music videos and the dance choreography. I suggest playing the entire album "Volcano" as one video.
Their Dogs Were Astronauts - Progressive, Djenty. Hard to pick a favorite track or album.
Opeth - Started as progressive death metal but they have gotten more chill and progressive and experimental over time. Favorites for me are Blackwater Park (on the harsher end of the spectrum), Windowpane (chill end of the spectrum), Reverie / Harlequin Forest.
Sevendust, Black Out the Sun, the whole album in order is epic.
Cradle of filth - nymphetamine
The female vocals are amazing and beauty and the beast dynamic is done perfectly.
Free by Crush 40.
Also, Soul Coughing (El Oso since I only have that single album from them). Specifically Blame, $300, and Pensacola. This is my much more serious answer.
Not so much a particular artist but more of a genre: Instrumental covers of video game music. I haven't listened to much else in the last couple years:
In particular this acoustic guitar version of Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time:
And this piano version of Wood Carving Partita from Symphony of the Night:
Stitched up heart, New Year’s Day, September mourning,
-chick singer led goth metal bands
Meshuggah. I’ve known them for a while but only recently saw them live for the first time. Heaviest metal band I’ve ever seen live so far.
Nothing new, Alan Parsons Project.
Pyramid
Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allen Poe
Eye in the Sky
Ammonia Avenue
The Turn of a Friendly Card
I Robot

A Speculative Fiction - Propagandhi
Absolute banger, and prophetic no less. But really just everything Propaghandi has put out has been in heavy rotation the last 6 months
Lucid Planet II https://youtu.be/pzdvidK-w4k
psychedelic prog rock
and I'm still a little stuck on Dax Riggs' 7 songs for spiders
...but I just can't believe it.
Then some folks on Lemmy pointed me to Tipper so I've been hearing Forward escape for a few weeks.
smattering of new fleshgod apocalypse and persefone.
Time for you to get into some American Football Never Meant (music video)
Fontaines DC, the most recent album. Plus the cover Porter Robinson did of Favorite from that album.
That song with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, Right Back to It.
Nilufer Yanya album My Method Actor
Joshua Ray Walker, anything by him is so good.
Recently found dadrock band Geese. So good. And their lead guy, Cameron Winter, also just released a stunning solo album.
Glass Beams
Khruangbin
I can feel Khruangbin lower my stress within 10 seconds.
Yup. Very few bad songs too. They’re consistently great. Zionsville is my current high water mark for them. Just gorgeous. I never saw the appeal of the pedal steel guitar until that song.
This music video is my favorite piece of art in general too, be sure to read the description of the video.
I don't think I've heard that, gonna check it out. I really like all the stuff they did with Leon Bridges, I wasn't ever really a fan of that type of like country/r&b or what ever it is until then, but damn those albums/EPs are great.
I tried to go see them open for Toro y Moi one time, and Toro cancelled so it was just them for the whole set and they started just doing hip-hop covers in their style to extend their set and it was hands down one of the best shows I've ever been to.
Oh nevermind! Zionsville is on my favorite album they've done. I don't know the track names because I usually just throw on a whole album at once
This will likely be my favorite for a long long time. Just so relaxing.
Fit For An Autopsy
More specifically, their new album just came out, The Nothing That Is, it slaps so hard I haven't listened to anything else since the CD came in.
Windhand. Sort of a psychedelic doom metal with groovy elements and a haunting, ethereal female vocalist
(we don't need this) fascist groove thang
Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
Egg by Mr. Bungle.
Ghostface killah
Twelve Reasons To Die might be my favorite solo wu album
Tallah
Massive Breakz and Def Cut are pretty dope
Colin Stetson is a fantastic ride. He plays instrumental music, but he's playing lower-pitched instruments *wrong.".
Mics on the keys are picking up rhythmic clicking acting as the percussion. He is sometimes shouting through the instrument. The end result sounds like a chase through the woods in the dark.
The Heavy / Short Change Hero. I just discovered them a couple weeks ago and this song has been stuck in my head ever since. I do 30 minutes on the exercise bike every morning and I just put that song on and belt out the lyrics to it at like 6:30am, much to the dismay of everyone else in the house, but they can suck it cause that song is just so goddamned singable.
Breaking benjamin
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there's probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.
Hump Back - 「番狂わせ」(Upset) /watch?v=zlcn57wdr9E
- Will likely have to watch it through Invidious or a VPN with an exit node in Japan, afaik it region locked to Japan only... ;-;
The band was somewhat recently featured on Bocchi the Rock with one of the scenes in the linked video being adapted into the cover page.
*Track from their newer album:
「がらくた讃歌」(Ode to Trash) /watch?v=XtuzSsFWKik
The Rumjacks. Irish punk / rock / folk and very good.
The original singer had some issues, and was replaced by another singer with a great voice :)
Scuba "Three Sided Shape". The album (Triangulation) is really cool, too!
