Opeth is one band that made me appreciate death metal which I used to not like. They make very atmospheric and sophisticated music and the lyrics from their early to mid-era were brutal and beautiful at the same time.
Tool is a band that makes the music captivating without the flashy riffs and solos. While I like the most stuff from them, MJK's voice was what got me into this band.
Cynic makes the most unpredictable music. I like their debut album the best but it's hard to find. It's peaceful and aggressive at the same time. Every musicians in the band are virtuosos.
Joy Division is another band whose music's quite addictive mainly because of the basslines. Their lyrics are down to earth and very relevant, hardly exploring conceptual topics or fantasy but they remain very interesting and timeless for me.
