I've been getting into decades old music since.
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:
I started listening to Ghost a few years ago after listening to Square Hammer. They are so good I have no idea how I got through my life without hearing them earlier. Love their costumes as well.
I got super into "Square Hammer" last Halloween!
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.

Seconding Castle Rat and Unleash the Archers. To add diversity, I found Cellar Darling around the some time. Some type of metal, vague Scandinavian influence, ethereal vocals, and, now a necessity to life, hurdy-gurdy solos
Electric Callboy!!
They’re a German electronicore band who fuses metal, EDM and techno and they’re pretty fun/funny
Kyuss
A timely question! I've been listening to Neutral Milk Hotel a lot recently, and for the first time. I'd heard of the band back in the day, but somehow never listened. The Wikipedia entry lists a number of my favorite bands as influenced by them, so I guess it's no surprise that I enjoy it so much.
A friend told me about Bad Omens (metal) and I’ve been listening to them. I don’t usually like heavy music these days, but sometimes it can be cool and they have some clever lyrics.
Vendredi sur Mer (Switzerland) - catchy, original electropop with a lot of lullaby-ish spoken word. Much of Charline's early work was co-written by wunderkind Lewis Ofman.

Well I'm not exactly sure on the specifics of what this song's about, but it's catchy and I like the video.
The song's about emotional ambivalence in relationships. That whole first album of hers is just fabulous.
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.
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
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.
I just found out about fleshgod apocalypse, they're fantastic. If symphonic death metal speaks to you it's worth checking them out!
A few choices:
Checking them out now via their most popular videos on yt. I'm digging "Epilogue!"
symphonic death metal
Might also want to check out the classics, Therion's ‘Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas’ and ‘Lepaca Kliffoth’. They aren't very symphonic, but are the points where Therion were moving from death-doom to their proper developed sound.

Castle Rat: Medieval Fantasy Heavy Metal. I would say more Rock than metal, and kind of an 80s feel.
They are incredible. Great music, fun lyrics, presence and themes to their shows.
Also shout out to MIRE and their new album. Heavy metal.
I'm not big on actual 80s music, so I feel like they have some type of modernization that gets my goat. Castle Rat was the soundtrack to painting cibderblock basement walls a vague gray teal. Pretty good match.
Castle Rat are mostly heavy/doom with lots of emulation of Black Sabbath. For some reason several such woman-fronted bands cropped up in recent-ish years, namely also Druidess and Hail Darkness
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 (?)

The last one is Lord of the Lost. Scratched the itch of getting a metal band that I don't have to worry about being a nazi cult in the future.
Damn, these songs are good on their own, he's got a nice rich voice. But then oh my fuck, also the costume work is hella good.

A few recent ones are Ducks Ltd, Cindy Lee and MJ Lenderman/ Wednesday.
Wooze. Put their entire discography on a playlist, hit shuffle. You're welcome.
Battle Tapes. Their latest album is a few years old, but it's solid all the way through. Their entire discography is also worth it, though.
I’m currently waiting for Jesse Welles to take the stage. His song “RED” hooked me hard.
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.

Haywire. Musically they might not hit me as deep and profound as say, Bad Religion. But for live show intensity… Fuck, it’s like the 90s again. A sweaty crush of humanity getting their eardrums blown while someone back-flipping off the balcony knocks their teeth out. Fun for all ages!
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.
Oh God so many
Lebrock
Fm84
Przm
Dylan Gossett
Ryan Birmingham

So many more but these are what comes immediately to mind.
Ladrones
I don't know Spanish.
Fluisteraars and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (specifically the microtonal albums).
