Some of the heavier stuff I've been listening to:
Chelsea Wolfe
Wand
Ghost
Ah, Chelsea Wolfe is someone I discovered rather recently (2015-16), too. I like it.
I don't know Wand, maybe something to check out...
But Ghost: I can't stand them. To me this is nothing but Pop - of the really cheesy kind. It's the kind of music that could win a Eurovision Song Contest. Their ridiculous outfits would help, too.

While listening to my music collection on random shuffle, I was reminded of another (fairly recent) band I really like: Battles.
I became aware of them when they released their album 'Gloss Drop' (2011).
But my favorite albums are 'Mirrored' (2007) and particularly 'La Di Da Di' (2015).
On Mirrored are a few songs that can get a bit annoying, but 'La Di Da Di' is really cool.
It reminds me favourably of Krautrock music from bands like Neu! or Harmonia, only more modern.
 

Ghost...pop? Songs like "Cirice" sound more BÖC meets AIC to me.

This song got me hooked on Wand:

As for Battles, my favorite of there's involved an old favorite of mine:

A little Teutonic stoner rock from Colour Haze:

Rap had a political vein from the beginning, some of which- Public Enemy, KRS-1, and Queen Latina, for instance- is much beloved by me.
