Saving this post to go spelunking after it has amassed some replies. Great question! I love music exploration.

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I too love a good spelunk of the aged veins of music.

I also love connecting people with the right resources. So what kind of music are you into? =) (Or if that's too broad, what kind of music are you seeking to get into?)

Oh god, what don't I like. I like everything from Thrash/Death and Progressive Metal to classical piano and everything in between. Folk music, music from other cultures, Middle-Eastern, Greek, Spanish, South Asian, East Asian, Caribbean, etc. Good video game music, like the Ori soundtrack, lots of Mario games have good soundtracks, like the Galaxy games. Zelda games. Horizon games.

The list goes on. Ever expanding. 🤯

Oh boy! I'm very similar to you and your music taste then.

Let's see... We'll try these out and see what you think of them. A yay or nah is workable, but more info is useful.

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster - Step Up (I'm On It) [Southern Rock / Southern Metal]

Equilibrium - Snuffel [Folk Metal / Speed Metal]

Ghost - Kaisarion [Glam Metal / Heavy Metal]

Venjent - Till Death We Do Art [Electronic / Drum and Bass]

Sunlounger - White Sand - Chill Out Edit [Trance / Chillout]

How fun!

I'll say, Equilibrium was quite similar to some bands I do follow. Good one there.

Sunlounger was pretty chill. Might be something I'll slap on while working or playing Rocket League.

Venjent... what if I told you I was like one of the top 0.01 % listeners of Venjent on Spotify in 2025, I think. Some kind of small number like that. 😅 He's truly inspired. Really sick beats. I tend to pair him up with Fox Stevenson for a solid time of straight bangers.

Some early as well as recent favorites of mine:

  • HIM
  • The Crown/prev. "Crown of Thorns"
  • The Haunted
  • Dimmu Borgir
  • Metallica
  • CKY
  • Foreign Objects
  • Meshuggah
  • Mattias "I.A." Eklundh [my kids love this guy's music, lol]
  • Opeth
  • Finntroll
  • Children of Bodom
  • Sonata Arctica
  • Animals as Leaders
  • Lamb of God
  • Tesseract
  • Textures
  • The Ocean
  • The Omnific
  • Dissection
  • Amon Amarth
  • Linkin Park (the first two albums; basically their first album was the first taste of metal I ever had; thought it sounded so badass; I don't really open them up nowadays though, there's just so much better stuff out there)

Bro there are so many good bands, I have about 1700+ bands that I follow on Spotify. (Quite overwhelming at times, actually.) But maybe you get the picture of what kind of weird sounds I'm into. Really liking a lot of syncopation. I want to be intrigued by the music, you know? 🙂

I rarely get new suggestions on Spotify anymore. I've like added the entire network of bands that have any kind of relation to one another. 😅

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed some of the shared songs.

Venjent… what if I told you I was like one of the top 0.01 % listeners of Venjent in 2025, I think.

My goodness dude! Hahaha That's is some serious dedication! =p

Equilibrium is one of favorite folk metal bands to date. Sunlounger is growing to become my go to artist, when I need to chill out. Venjent is a really interesting artist. I love his ability to utilize sounds from anything and apply them into a music format.

As for your list, HOLY SHIITAKE! You seem to have the metal music corner of music well covered. lol I've heard 12 of those listed and know I like, Dimmu Borgir, Metallica, CKY, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth and (of course) Linkin Park. I'll check out the rest over the next several days.

Bro there are so many good bands, I have about 1700+ bands that I follow on Spotify. (Quite overwhelming at times, actually.)

ROFL! I can totally understand the overwhelming sense you would get. This is why I only follow a 30 or so bands on Spotify.


If you're looking for more chill music/song suggestions, I would suggestion:

(Songs)

Tokyomane - Far Away

Aphex Twin - Avril 14th

(Artists)

Loafy Building

no one's perfect

Ocie Elliott

Kalaido


Really liking a lot of syncopation. I want to be intrigued by the music, you know?

Thanks cool dude. I figure you've heard of Math Rock. But if you haven't... https://www.last.fm/tag/math+rock


What music suggestions would you have for me? Like I mentioned, I'm into just about everything. So what'cha got? =)
