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:

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.
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.
Fcukers 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.
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?
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.
Electric Callboy!!
They’re a German electronicore band who fuses metal, EDM and techno and they’re pretty fun/funny
They’ve been around or several years now, but I just discovered Brothers of Metal a month or so ago from one 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.

I’m currently waiting for Jesse Welles to take the stage. His song “RED” hooked me hard.
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!
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.
Fluisteraars and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (specifically the microtonal albums).
Sleep Theory - not to be confused with Sleep Token
I think for me that might be Unleash the Archers. I ended up looking through their discography and while their earlier stuff was a tad rough, everything from the album “Apex” onward is great. The quintessential UtA single for me is Awakening.
My roommate said he was trying to find bands that reminded him of Gojira and found them YouTube. For me the one song that reminds me of them is “Tonight we ride” from the intro to everything after it’s just my favorite.
Someone snuck their song Northwest Passage into a sea shanty Playlist and then they were in my life from then on. Soulbound is in my rotation, too
Been digging the Wee Hairy Beasties:
I got really into Flopsy’s Dream and their debut album Pleasant Pudding last summer.
It’s the secondary project of Tom Davies, a Geoguessr YouTuber I’ve been following for years. Soft, laid-back rock that hit the spot just right for me.
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.
Clarissa - Ela [might be “bedroom pop”/lo-fi/dream pop/techno-pop/soft] (2021)

(You can probably download this directly from Vimeo.)
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)

Also, this sounds like great My Bloody Valentine: 😁🙂
