You seriously owe it to yourself to look into jazz, folk, acoustic, and classical music. Also to look into underground stuff like Sythwave, nightwave, and all kinds of new EDM that is released idie on social media.
There is also a community of indie composers who work with (really good) orchestral synthesizers s to make orchestral arrangements of all kind of popular music, mostly soundtracks. Rozen and Samuel Kim on youtube come to mind.
It will take a while to get used to a lower level of intensity, but if you can drop popular bands, you will thank yourself.
Then you don't need to put up with morons who the elite have dug their hooks into to try and preach liberalism to you. You can get back to people actually making music.
Also "Rage" were sellouts from day 1. The raged against "the man" while working for a major fortune 500 record label and enjoying being part of the "in crowd" in the globalist-democrat elite system. I'm sorry friends if you believed they were anything but posers, well at least you are waking up now.
I guess I got old, but it gets tiring after a while. And only mostly because the metal favorites have been put back in the collection and come out less often.
That and slapping on a playlist for 8 hours a day for work, kinda gets you into the mode. High intensity music gets old.
That and there is no replacement for having 45 instruments to layer a composition. Classic Classical is good, but the modern stuff is also really good. IN fact the best living composers work for movies and games.
Thing with classical, you NEED good headphones to properly enjoy it. Again 45+ instruments if those phones are muddy, its not going to be as nice.
I listen to mostly swedish melodic Death Metal bands. You'd probably have to hold me at gunpoint to listen to jazz, classical, or anything acoustic. I never liked rage really to begin with. Their music always seemed whiney to me. Like a kid living with their parents till their mid 30's and bitching about what's not being given to them.
I'm on the Scar Symmetry and Soilwork level... It's like death metal with a bit of 80's hair metal. Never listened to Opeth. Might have to check em out
Their music is great. I purposefully don't look into their politics. I'm sure its some random Swedish socialist nonsense. But they have at least been wise enough to make it so I haven't discovered their opinions by mistake.
As a (mostly now) former metal head...

Why former metal head? Heavy metal is the modern day classical, a wealth of talent there.

Rock on indeed.
Let me rephrase that. It gets a bit much after a couple hours.
Always fun to listen to some banging tracks.

Rage was aimed squarely are "rebellious" teenagers who were the kids of subburban boomers who pulled in six figures.
Also if you like Opeth, you are part way to liking jazz already.
Also have you checked out Corpo-Mente and Igorrr? There are a few years dated now, but some of the most original stuff I've heard in a while.

And I can respect that.
