I don't want to ruin the "music" section so I made a separate topic for these sub-genres. Dark and heavy music with harsh vocals, some are more or less "esoteric", some are straightforward chaos. I listen all kinds of music, but the best of each genre.
Cosmic tunes, a bit more melodic than I normally would listen
I'm not a "fan" of mithras, so I edited out the link from here. I think they lack something, their drums suck, I don't think they have even one album that I would like to listen through. They had that one song that had something going on, but rest of their production is garbage.

Imagine all the furnaces of hell devouring the earth through a wind tunnel of eternal hatred. Immeasurable hate, so pure and uncompromising....
I always thought Death and Black metal music to be anti-metal and anti-rock because I've always hated rock music and the "rockstar mentality", it's almost like these bands tour because they share the hatred, not because of fame or money (because there certainly is no money in these genres unless you go melodic).
Cult classic Incantation, doom oriented
The entire song is just building up to 4:36

Transmutation (2008) I own the CD version, it's currently in my car. I've been listening this for 7 years almost daily, I'm extremely attached to this band, their lyrics are bad broken english (I never read the lyrics until now), but I can't get enough of them, perfection.

Hardcore music, many breakdowns, not bad (ragnaroks really good), "You must murder" 2:28 bass drops. I don't nowdays listen to hc (hxc), I always look for heavy guitar sound, good balance in the instrument mixing (sometimes drums are too loud compared to guitar etc.), sometimes the guitar or the entire production sound too sterile/clean for my taste. Also the hardcore "dancing" is ridiculous, kicking and punching the air. Hardcore music has different kind of anger/hatred, I wouldn't get "satisfied" just by physical violence (punching someone), it's not "spiritual hatred", also showing hatred for pitiful opponent (antifa in this case) is showing too much respect, even considering them as "opponents", I prefer the "hate" to be cold and disdained.
An example of heavy guitars, Crowbar is basically hardcore punk mixed with doom, so it can play really heavy riffs slowly without breakdowns. (I'm not a music expert, nor do I know a lot of musical terms, just my own conclusions I've made over the years.)
Obedience Thru Suffering (1991)
Sonic Excess in its Purest Form (2001)
I like crowbar to some extent, I just can't stand their christian morality lyrics(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDPZ0znxMUU) , admitting weakness before god and asking gods help etc, but at least their all albums are consistent and have good riffs.

Once of Northern blood Death and tragedy Everything in you Ghosts and mystery Under the grey banners of skies Where falcons sing their pride What haunts your iron dreams Motherland Ostenvegr? Endless fields Mists and horrid woods Barrows by the riverbanks And autumn wind above Long forgotten songs Human bones in the dirt Helmets and swords in rust The smell of graves and autumn soil Mighty olden oaks Always speak to me With their grim voices of the dead With their never fading memories Once of Northern blood Death and tragedy Everything in you Ghosts and mystery

[1.] Wotan entsendet seine Töchter wohl auf das Schlachtenfeld Auserwählt, um zu erwecken, wer im Kampfe fällt Hehre Krieger, mutig, treu dem Stahl Walküren tragen sie nach Walhall'
[Refrain:] Rösser schnauben, Hufe schlagen, wohlan zum Todesritt Erneut erwachen wird nur der, der ehrenhaft im Kampfe stritt
[2.] Todesmutig, kampfentschlossen stürmen die Krieger voran Keiner wird dem Feinde weichen, fällt auch der Führersmann Zeit des Krieges ist Zeit der Ehr' Gewiß der ewigen Wiederkehr
[3.] Schwerter klirren, Helden fallen, rot färbt sich der Grund Schreie halln im Schlachtendonner, Blutdurst herrscht zur Stund' Der Tod kommt schnell, wenn Recken streiten Der Tod kommt wenn Walküren reiten
[4.] Sieh dort, den erschlagenen Helden, bei ihm kniet die Schildmaid Wischt das Blut ihm von der Stirne, verharrt an seiner Seit' Sie küsst ihn und er öffnet die Augen, aufs Pferd nimmt sie ihn Über Bifröst wird ihr Ritt nun gehn, (um) in Walhalla einzuziehn Heldentod ist der Lohn der Schlacht Wenn der Krieger vom Kuß der Maid erwacht.
Rösser schnauben, Hufe schlagen, wohlan zum Todesritt Erneut erwachen wird nur der, der ehrenhaft im Kampfe stritt
Rösser schnauben, Hufe schlagen, wohlan zum Todesritt Erneut erwachen wird nur der, der ehrenhaft im Kampfe stritt

''what do we call the system where people can't say what they think? Democracy! what do we call a system where the journalists don't dare to tell what's really happening? Democracy! what do we call a system where the law is worthy only for you? ... what do we call a system where there's no democracy at all! that's pretty much the refrain''

Stereotypical Blazebirth Hall kind of black metal, which tends to be extremely repetitive and harsh, though powerfully atmospheric and somewhat melodic, in a twisted black metal way....Branikald is one of those bands whose career consists of a large number of similarly sounding albums, and Kveldulv is perhaps one of the, if not the most typical of them all.

Only complaint I have about Branikald and Forest is that they are too good and they take too many hours of my days...Ascetic and beautiful, very exclusive

Pioneers of technical brutal death metal, Gorguts is widely respected
Quote :
The tremendous diversity of structures, severe tempo changes and advanced arrangements are a vital part of the band’s methodology, which constructs epic songs as the title-track, offering a stunning display of abilities and creativity. The variations of riffs are nearly countless, so insatiable, the elaborated progression and versatility of the instrumental basis simply exquisite, revealing a truly musically superior effort from great musicians at their best.
Quote :
Gorguts had the required virtuosism to design and execute such intricate music, unlike most early death metal acts that needed to make about 2 or 3 records till they finally refined their skills and eluded the typical clichés, not only technically – their capacity to compose and provide sense and consistency to the songs is unique. Others failed and succumbed to the difficulty of their pretentious schemes because sometimes technique doesn’t equal good music but these Canadians had the ideas and possibilities to reasonably combine dexterous arrangements with unadulterated speed & aggression – conceiving well-constructed competent music, making it difficult without denying the original essence of this subgenre.
I think Gorguts was influenced by Atheist and Pestilence and many others. (how could they not be) Atheist is a pioneer of tech death.
