Start with classic old school death metal bands - Morbid Angel - Altar of Madness, Death - Scream Bloody Gore, Leprosy and Spiritual Healing, Atheist - Piece of time, Cancer - To the Gory End, Obituary - Slowly We Rot, Autopsy - Severed Survival, Deicide - Deicide to name a few.I've never been able to gain a taste for black/death metal. Is there a band you'd recommend?
Carcass is another amazing band their latest album Torn Arteries is certainly one of the best for me in year 2021. This is the best song from the album IMHO
I generally prefer power or prog metal, or even symphonic or thrash, but I can throw on some Emperor and enjoy it.

Here is band from my hometown.... just met them recently in one the local metal shows. Might be more to your taste
That ain't bad. The stuff I've been listening to lately, as far as metal-wise (I've actually been hitting the country side pretty hard):

Here's Australia's entry in to Eurovision this year. It's a pretty surprising track, actually, both for Eurovision and just as a song in general.

I think I have liked 3 Eurovision winners - I might like more if I actually listened to them, but it's generally not my thing. Just not in genres I really care about, too mass-produced, etc etc. But these are the ones I've liked:As I'm sure you're aware i'm a gigantic music snob and avoid Eurovision like the plague. In a social setting when somebody mentions Eurovision in a conversations its normally my cue to return some video tapes. I did enjoy Eurovision years ago when Terry Wogan did the commentary and basically took the piss out the whole thing. But no, I can't take it seriously. I believe Ukraine is the current holder but is unable to host, I think Bakhmut we be an excellent place to hold this years contest.
