It’s prog but Angra with Kiko as lead guitarist is still the greatest of all time for me. Kiko left the band for Megadeth a little while back, their new guitarist is solid but just not on the same level. Rebirth, Fireworks and Temple of Shadows are probably my top 3 favorite albums.
They are supposedly heavy metal, but they got all kinds of stuff in there.

This thread is a scorcher. Excellent recommendations.
I could do this all evening but I've picked a few favourites. These are artist recommendations rather than just tracks.
Here's some accessible ones (Spotify links):
And some slightly less accessible ones (Also Spotify links):
I will also strongly second the already recommend Chelsea Wolfe, Opeth, Alcest, Orbit Culture and 3TEETH!
May I suggest Twelve Foot Ninja https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SYvzn5grrI
Twelve Foot Ninja is fantastic. A little bit funky and weird, but still heavy, and some very positive vibes
