under 5000 monthly listeners
Maybe my favorite band at the moment
Fathom XIX

Also if you’re into pop punk
Tyrant of Death coming in at just over 4000 listeners!

He’s excellent. If you like industrial metal or the Doom soundtrack you’ll probably like ToD. There’s no vocals, so I imagine this will appeal to DnB and EDM fans as well.
I recommend Generation Bliss (link for bandcamp because it’s not on Spotify… wtf bro this your best album!)

I must have listened to this 50 times
ToD is nice, I have 3 albums :D
Nice!! I have almost all of them but I keep going back to the classics.
ohhhh shit… I started playing it and I’m getting chills at 20 seconds in. It’s so good. I’ve never heard anything like it.
The Nature Centre - art-pop from Birmingham, UK. They’re great!
200ish listeners a month… Criminal. This will likely be my hip hop album of the year if not the album of the year for me
Argyle Park and their official unoffical sequel AP2. Around 2.5k combined. My favorite song is “A New Wound” which is actually incorrectly listed as “A New World” but it is so unpopular that will probably never be fixed.

Technically they’re just over the 5000 monthly listeners limit (6955), but Xanthochroid is still relatively unknown and my favorite band of all time, so I can’t not share them.
I have no idea how to judge the number of listeners, but Norwegian artist Making Marks (formerly mylittlepony) is great.
And Nineteen Forty-Five literally has no bad tracks on either of their published LPs.
People tend to use monthly listeners on Spotify for this. It’s not a perfect metric as other platforms isn’t included, but it does the job
Mainlight, Ukrainian Dream Pop/Shoegaze band, 69 monthly listeners: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6imKZQuqvbjC1m5MRFIwG9?si=x87vJ3O_Qp2fPRECrSie9g
Back to the point, they have some great stuff
Lori Denae - 16 monthly listeners. Kinda Wanna is a great song.
Maida Rose - 1,192 monthly listeners. Harmony of Heartache is great too!
Technically they somehow exploded to 5800 monthly listeners, but Valkyrik could use some more love. Last time I checked all their songs were at >1000 plays, even though, again, that somehow changed recently.
This is great, thank you! They remind me a lot of Ayla Nereo (Hollow Bone album) and I quite like it.
And The Warlock Pinchers, who broke up like 30 years ago, but if you know, you know.
