I'm a huge music nerd, so get ready.
This guy, Celldweller, is pretty much my favorite musician ever. He's essentially a one-man electronic/metal/dance/whatever the hell he feels like doing that week band with a great fondness for outer space and a wide-ranging variety of songs. His latest album, End of an Empire, is something I've been listening to like crazy lately, and features a whole bunch of different musical styles. I'm still absolutely amazed that just one dude is able to make all of this radical stuff.
There's also Blue Stahli, a related act that's also a one-man electro-whatever band. They have kind of similar musical styles, but whereas Celldweller focuses on the fantastical and otherworldly, Blue Stahli is much more interested in the gritty, visceral musical style. His songs also tend to be a lot crazier and more psychedelic, as demonstrated in the music video. He also does a bunch of videos where he answers fan questions, and is overall a really cool and odd fellow. Also, he and the other guy are total dorks and it's great.
(Just throwing out a warning, the below video contains occasional images of blood being fucking everywhere, in case that's a problem with anyone reading this.)
I'm also a HUGE fan of the soundtrack from Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. The songs are atmospheric and fit the aesthetic of the rest of the game perfectly, and also are absolutely gorgeous in a very ominous sense. My absolute favorite track is the theme that plays in the Cathedral.
Finally, one of my much simpler pleasures is a band called Lamb of God. They are quite firmly metal, and quite heavy metal at that. The dudes in the band are wickedly talented with their instruments of choice, and their music never fails to get me pumped the fuck up when I listen to it.
There's a lot more I could babble on about but I'll leave it there for now.
