I know I am kinda belated but give a try to to the song "Myr" by the band Taake. Also look up songs from the band Panopticon. They both belong to an extreme metal subgenre but you might find songs you like. On a more humorous approach, the band No One Gets Out Alive plays a banjo-oriented Death Metal thingy you might find interesting. Hope I helped, enjoy the music
