Depending on how heavy/extreme you want to go:
Thinking of things you might like that are around the sound you're currently listening to, you might be interested in:
Sevendust
Mushroom Head
Sepultura (recent albums)
Devil Driver
Lamb of God
For heavier, more extreme stuff, I suggest:
Napalm Death
Suffocation
Morbid Angel
Abnormality
Miseration
Mgla
Earth Rot
There really is so much out there to check out, but these were just one's that came to mind at the moment. 

Yeah, I personally consider those bands to fit in with the goth scene. 

Some more:
Earth Rot  - Black Tides Of Obscurity
Cathedral - The Garden Of Unearthly Delights 
Carnation - Where Death Lies
Beast - Danse Macabre
Eternal Rest  - The Picture Of Hatred
Gruesome - Savage Land

Off the top of my head, I'm going with Sepultura - Arise.
I think Decrepit Birth - Axis Mundi could be one for me too.

Thank you for having a look, dude, much appreciated. 

Hey, thanks! Glad to hear you like it. 

Nice work @wayfaringstranger.
I can definitely see why people are talking about your landscapes work. 

Great work @FatherAlabaster!!!!
I've never ventured into this part of the forum before and very glad I did now. 

I bought that one on digital, really good and groovy. I wasn't too stoked on the new album that came out last year. Something was missing.

Recently, I've been really enjoying Depravity - Evil Upheaval.  They are an Australian band, signed to Transcending Obscurity Records, who have a pretty good catalogue of bands. Evil Upheaval is their first full-length release, coming out in 2018. The best way I would explain the genre is brutal, technical death metal. 
 

Oh, nice! I've seen BTBAM tons of times, they're my most-attended live show for whatever reason haha. A few years back they played Colors in its entirety for an anniversary show and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to, was just phenomenal.

Agreed, I've heard some excellent live gigs by extreme bands, and often when it sucked it was down to a combination of no soundcheck or sound guy/girl being clueless. Oh and the room acoustis. Some venues are just bad for live sound.

Hahahaha... that's gold!

Im new to metal, have started listening to slipknot and want to try other bands.

Ten albums that have particularly 'done it for me' (and were released) in the past few (three) years:
Worm - Gloomlord
Krypts - Cadaver Circulation
Antichrist - Pax Moriendi 
None - Damp Chill Of Life 
Blood Incantation - Hidden History Of The Human Race
Beast Of Revelation - The Ancient Ritual Of Death
Incantation - Sect Of Vile Divinities
Imprecation - Damnatio Ad Bestias
1914 - The Blind Leading The Blind
Monstrosity - The Passage Of Existence

Edited FA's list to save me typing a ton of the same stuff.
In addition:
Gorguts - Colored Sands (2013) - this album massively upped the Gorguts' game and was my pick of top album for the 2010's.  Containing songwriting that most bands can only dream of and musicianship that is unrivalled in my opinion, this is a weighty and varied album that despite it's forays into other genres still remains a death metal beast at it's very core.
Akhlys - The Dreaming I (2015) & Melinoë (2020)- 2 of the greatest modern bm albums in my collection (both sitting on vinyl on splattered effect formats).  The musical genius of Naas Alcameth knows no boundaries.  Melinoë is a suffocating listen.  Its main driving force the oppressive nature it imposes on you as a listener, whether through all out battery or utilising menacing atmospherics that would sit just as well on the soundtrack to most horror films, you can't help but fear the sounds it produces.  The experience leaves you feeling like being lost at sea and having to swim for some distant shore and the tumult of the tide just endlessly pulls you down to the darkest depths of the blackest waters.  Even when you manage to get your head above water again it is not long before you are pulled back under.
Suffocation - Human Waste (EP) (1991) - a true benchmark of brutality that I somehow overlooked for years in favour of Effigy of the Forgotten & Pierced From Within.  It's worth noting that they are one of the most copied bands in death metal (along with Incantation) but what the debut shows is that most copycats are just colouring in in comparison to the masterpieces that Suffocation dropped early in their careers.
Altarage - Nihl (2016) - now here is a nasty piece of blackened, squally death metal that knocked me on my arse when I first heard it.  A deathly shapeshifting monster of a record that is still truly a horrifying listen.  They only came close to topping this with their 2019 offering The Approaching Roar and I believe they have a new record coming out soon but the track I heard left me a bit cold if honest.
Paysage d'hiver - Steinche (1998) Schattengang (1998) - I could list the whole discography probably but these two really standout from the glut of releases I have become familiar with in recent years.  Wintherr released three demos that same year and to really understand the depth of the content here you have to grasp his penchant for non-linear storytelling with all of his releases being parts of the same narrative.  The predictability factor is low here with tracks on Steinche going from ambient atmospherics to scathing bm in seconds.  Schattengang runs with much the same format and again showcases the song writing prowess of Wintherr superbly.  Both need a clear schedule to enjoy, no background music here folks.
I could go on all day here but I have to start work (at some point) and I prefer to add rationale on my choices which takes up time - but hopefully promotes discussion. 

Ah nice, glad you're enjoying them. They really did themselves proud with that album. You might dig Afterbirth too, they've got a really cool combination of riffy brutal DM and atmospheric sections. Great on headphones. 

i lost all the timing which kinda ruined the poem but i put in extra conviction 😁 well in my mind i did. probably loud and slurred. 😜

I think I could enjoy doing poems drunk 😄

doing a show drunk must be hard. i did whisky tasting other day and afterwarrds we read some poems. i was too drunk to do the poem justice. it annoyed me a bit tbh. thanks for all the vocal ideas. it's interesting. im no singer at the moment but have done stuff in the past. lately i do have a laugh with friends and family with guttoral vocals. it certainly gets peoples attention 😁 

It looks like we're going to go by our personal experiences. So I can see what every person is saying and see that they're all right, based on experience. 
I've been in the metal scene for around 30 years and I can relate mostly to Depraved's experience. It's true that there appears to be a much bigger female fanbase in gothic styles of metal, but all others seems to have a significantly less female fanbase. 
I have heard some people in bands make sexist comments and also see that macho meat head mentality among some metal heads, but I would say that's the few among many, many others that aren't like that at all.   

Hahahaha... that's gold!
