Title. Some of you already know my tastes. But I want to hear a variety.
Before I do, answer me one question: do you like death metal or black metal?
I'm not giving recs without knowing, because I know most people despise that shit.

My fav song of all time
It's cool, I like listening to some classical.
I should listen to this band, had it on my list for a while
Their lyrics are truecel tier. "A plague of lighthouse keepers" has the most truecel lyrics i've ever heard
Alrighty then, I'll give a few recommendations, and I forgot to ask if you prefer full-length albums or just individual songs, so I'll give some of each, links below:
Death Metal:
Sojourn by Meadows End is a good symphonic death metal album and I absolutely love the violin solo in the song 'Heathen's Embrace'.
As Humanity Fades by Morta Skuld is a good old-school style death metal record. My personal favorite song is probably Humanity's Lost.
Black Metal:
Sworn to Paganism by Skogmark is an excellent atmospheric black metal album. I wasn't able to find the full album on youtube, though youtube does have many of their individual songs, but it seems the full album is up on spotify if you have that. I'll include the spotify link with all the other links below.
The Voice of Steel by Nokturnal Mortum is an excellent piece of folkish black metal. Valkyrie is a particularly strong song on this album. I do have to warn you, however, that Nokturnal Mortum are a NSBM (National Socialist Black Metal) band, though they've cut the Nazi themes and lyrics from their music, it seems, starting with this album.
If that's too much of a put-off, however, I can also recommend as an alternative to Nokturnal Mortum the album The World of Retribution by Morodh, an excellent piece of DSBM (depressive sui*** black metal), with the song Fatality as the highlight of the album.

This song is about Dave Mustaine’s former girlfriend who didn’t pay enough attention to him. He tells her how important she was to him, but how she was never there for him.

That's a lot of recs. Thanks. Listened to it briefly and liked it, I'll save and listen to all of them. I have minimal experience with death metal but I liked it and wanted to listen to more. Listened to Burzum and Cannibal Corpse
I wasn't sure of your experience with the genres, so I tried to give some recs that I thought weren't as well known. Glad you like what you've briefly heard so far.
I still listen to Burzum, myself, but not so much with Cannibal Corpse anymore.
That's some weird rock music, but I kinda like it.

This is a megadeth song with this kind of lyrics. But it was written about the passing of Cliff Burton. Metallica also wrote a song about it, To Live is To Die, but it has no lyrics.Megadeth – In My Darkest Hour

Phil Anelsmo wrote this and he might be understandable. He had a lot of drug issues and got molested as a kid. He's pretty funny.View attachment 604484Pantera – I'm Broken

Shame. I'll still look at it though, RJD is definitely one of my favorite singers in metal.Yes I havenot much to explore after their first three albums since they become AOR
Yeah, obscure recs are cool. Not something I could just find by googling "death metal bands'
Glad I could be of service.
If you like metal this might be faggy but I was listening to Saosin's Translating the Name earlier today. Good post-hardcore/emo from before the genre became derivative.
Edit: Here's some obscure shoegaze/black metal that's good. Eribo - I Collect the Stars by Lantlos.
