Apeman42What's the last new band you got really into?
They’ve been around or several years now, but I just discovered Brothers of Metal a month or so ago from on 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.

givesomefucksFcukers have been putting out an astonishing amount of music in the last year.

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.
Fcukers - 'if you wanna party, come over to my house' (Official Video)
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?
Fcukers - 'Bon Bon' (Official Video)
They just dropped a whole album yesterday, before that it was just singles.
I haven’t listened tho, but I get the feeling each album is like a “set” where all the tracks blend into each other.
The start of every new track, is the end of the last one.
Which would explain why so many feel so similar.
The band is just a DJ and a vocalist after all. Kind of a Sophie Tucker type deal.
JohnnyEnzymeVendredi 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.
Vendredi sur Mer - Écoute chérie (Clip officiel)
The song’s about emotional ambivalence in relationships. That whole first album of hers is just fabulous.
CochiseThe 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.

toomanypancakesI 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:
Montaggesymphonic 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.
Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas
Sleep Theory - not to be confused with Sleep Token
gigastasioMany Eyes. Headed up be former Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley.
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:

FizzCongrats on finding the best band ever 🤘
The newest artist I got into is Amélie Farren, who came out with some singles and a debut album last year.
But the artist I got into most recently is Chicago’s own Beach Bunny, whose 2025 album Tunnel Vision I’ve been listening to on repeat for weeks now, along with the single “Year of the Optimist”, which: if you’re going to check out one song from them, that’s the one IMO.
gallopingsnailLatest band I got really into has gotta be Viagra Boys

seathruPeeling Flesh: They don’t have high production values, thought provoking lyrics or a coherent style, But it is an interesting mix of genres that fucking slams.

ComradeSharkfuckerIt’s been a year or so but probably Reagan Youth
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.

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)
Cold Showers - “Sliver” (Official Video) (they sound a bit like Depeche Mode)

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.

Two that I just absolutely LOVE after I came across them:
Theocracy:
Uplifting Christian power metal. They SHRED and bring me hope in this dark world.
Smash Into Pieces:
I’m digging pretty much everything they do. “Trigger” is a favorite but I play the dopamine out of everything they make. That’s a really rare and fantastic feeling to vibe so well with a group/artist. :D
THEOCRACY - Mosaic (Official Music Video)
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.
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?

moondoggieSame thing with age. I’m in my fifties, stumbled into Tropical Fuck Storm through King Gizzard a year or two ago and realized that all the new bands I was listening to were all Australian (I’m in the US). Probably from watching so much Like a Version. I listen to a lot of new music based on either covers of songs I know or cool band names. My current obsession, Apes of the State, is driving me into folk punk now. A little while ago I was wondering who was making the best protest songs for all of today’s bullshit. Folk punk is soothing my soul while I fight the power.

Mamaleek were a breath of fresh air when I discovered them around five years ago, after thinking I’ve heard basically all genres already. It was like hearing good music for the first time again.

7 track album
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 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.
I can’t stop listening to these two freaks from Belgium called La Jungle.
Super high intensity fun fast jams
I don’t understand why they aren’t huge
