Metal

Yep. Especially Becoming the Archetype (first 4 albums), all of Death Therapy, and a lot of Project 86 (specifically their last double album Omni was getting very heavy for them).

Destroy the Runner, specifically like their album Saints.

There was a band called EastWest that had an album Hope in Anguish. Not sure I'd call it metal, and they were not accomplished high production, but it was still pretty good.

In spite of my issues with religion and my childhood, I still listen to most of those bands many many years later cause the music is just excellent, especially the first 3 I mentioned.

Demon Hunters still going and still good.
