Ask Lemmy

In this moment. It's kinda... Synth metal?

Sayonara Wild Heart which is a synth-pop album and a rhythm game simultaneously.

Kanaan

Reign Wolf

Goodbye June

The Chats

Meshuggah. I’ve known them for a while but only recently saw them live for the first time. Heaviest metal band I’ve ever seen live so far.

Windhand. Sort of a psychedelic doom metal with groovy elements and a haunting, ethereal female vocalist

8485 - I don't want to hurt him

It's hyperpop

Been getting into Snapped Ankles and High Vis lately. Also, been enjoying Warmduscher. Snapped Ankles needs a North American tour. Are you listening? 😁

Always been a Clutch fan, but I've been listening to Three Golden Horns a lot the past few days.

The Eurovision 2025 playlist is out! It's a good time listening ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest, then you get to root for the song you like best. If you've never got into it, it's a good time to give it a listen.

I'm digging independent artists Melancholic crossroads and Emily Jeffri right now.

Cradle of filth - nymphetamine

The female vocals are amazing and beauty and the beast dynamic is done perfectly.

Not so much a particular artist but more of a genre: Instrumental covers of video game music. I haven't listened to much else in the last couple years:

In particular this acoustic guitar version of Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time:

And this piano version of Wood Carving Partita from Symphony of the Night:

Nothing new, Alan Parsons Project.

Pyramid
Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allen Poe
Eye in the Sky
Ammonia Avenue
The Turn of a Friendly Card
I Robot

Fontaines DC, the most recent album. Plus the cover Porter Robinson did of Favorite from that album.

That song with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, Right Back to It.

Nilufer Yanya album My Method Actor

Joshua Ray Walker, anything by him is so good.

I've been listening to Metallica's One and ...And Justice for All repeatedly, their two best tracks.

My fave album for takeoffs is The Campfire Headphase by Boards of Canada, especially after taking an edible https://open.spotify.com/album/6uO5B6km2Dco28tOBmZtSU

doseone’s new album with Steel Tipped Dove is EXCELLENT. dose deserved so much more fame than he got.

rest in peace, Alias.

Juniore (French indie pop)

Dogpark Dissidents anarcho queercore punk band, need I say more?

Zoomst They have one studio album and 90 monthly listeners on spotify but have a great prog sound. Aweizawei is my favorite from the album so far.

The Armed and Idles. Seriously can't get enough of them.

Polkadot Stingray

And anything else on my Japanese music playlist :D

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1qp2kWRqMd77nsVXr2jG5um4DpMWNn5Y

Check out the album Glitter by Pasteboard. It's some good Japanese Shoegaze.

Hmmmm Not exactly what you are asking about, but i love the energy of "Kickstart my heart" by Motley Crue and "Get it on" by Turboneger.

Both starts hard sang continues in the same fashion. I want more og that energy and rhythm.

"Stand up and shout" by Dio is close, but it feels tiny bit harder/faster.

Anybody got other songs in the same vibe/ energy. Not a slow build up. Just 1-2-3-4 rock!

"Ha de sarar" from Maro

Northern Portrait.

Latest album is titled “The Swiss Army” and was released in 2022.

Kygo. Just really really good music (especially the latest album "KYGO" and "Thrill of the Chase".

Free by Crush 40.

Also, Soul Coughing (El Oso since I only have that single album from them). Specifically Blame, $300, and Pensacola. This is my much more serious answer.

SLIFT's album UMMON has been on heavy rotation in my playlists for some time now.
