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

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!
