Good evening @erikdenoorman! I totally get what you mean, bands like Burzum and Old Funeral can become to extreme or filthy, like you said. But you find some material that is pretty good! What is your prefered music genre now?
There are so many genres I listen to right now it's really hard to say. There was a time where I went 100% instrumental rock like Mono or Godspeed You and that together with me picking up the bass turned into jazz which I listen to. Reggae has come close to my heart but good old rock music still does it. As long as the lyrics ring true for me. If the singer really has something to say and you can actually hear it (compared to the black metal screams and grunts), something magically happens. Some artists I like are Nahko, Xavier Rudd, Ben Harper, Tinariwen and so many small bands.
