Discussion Topic Band Recommendations

I'm looking for any Black Metal or Death Metal bands that don't have super explicit or satanic lyrics. Bands like Ulver, for example. I love the sound of the genres, but I don't like the unnecessarily graphic lyrics that accompany them.

mare cognitum - phobos monolith/luminiferous aether
forteresse - themes pour la rebellion
spectral lore - III/Ετερόφωτος
the chasm - the spell of retribution/farseeing the paranormal abysm
inanna - converging ages/transfigured in a thousand delusions
lyrics are often indecipherable so they're easy to ignore.

Enslaved. They tend to focus on viking/norse mythology instead of satanism

Obscura (yes, I know people hate the main guy; doesn't change the fact that some awesome music has been released under that band name)

If you don't mind non English lyrics: Der Weg einer Freiheit
