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.

Captain Squeegee. A rare combination of ska and psychedelic rock. Their album To the Bardos! is particularly great, and ranks among my top 5 albums of all time.
The Brotherhood of Dae Han. Southern rock with a hint of black metal.
Black Bonzo. A modern-ish prog band that sounds straight from the 70s.
Bubblemath. Progressive jazz fusion. Their first album was light on the jazz and pretty low-budget, but their second album, Edit Peptide, is the best in the subgenre, IMO.
Lotus Child. Indie alterna-rock. They only had one album, but it's creative and interesting.
Bubblemath is amazing. Will check out your other recs almost wholly for their inclusion.
Yay! Black Bonzo! Lady of the Light is a great album.
Edit: oh that's right, the album is self-titled
The Brotherhood of Dae Han. Southern rock with a hint of black metal.
Which songs have hints of black metal? What I listened to sounded a lot more like metalcore.
Maybe I used the wrong descriptor. I'm not into screaming, so I tend to group all screaming/growling metal into the "black metal" label. π€·ββοΈ
Hah, yeah, of the harsher metal genres, Black Metal is probably the one with the least screaming ;)
Mainlight, Ukrainian Dream Pop/Shoegaze band, 69 monthly listeners: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6imKZQuqvbjC1m5MRFIwG9?si=x87vJ3O_Qp2fPRECrSie9g
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. Itβs not a perfect metric as other platforms isnβt included, but it does the job
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
Monarch ! the slowest band on earth a French Drone metal band who is heavy as hell and plays so slowly that it's edge between music and noise. Pretty great if you want to set-up a dark-ambience or want to chill out over slow music.
Also they're great on stage and the musicians are accessible like you can talk with them after the concert
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.
Diamons Dallas Tex Although I'm pretty sure, a guy named Lil Texas is behind it, but I do not have confirmation.
Familiars Dreamy stoner rock/Doom metal kind of thing. These guys are so good, I don't understand how they only have like 350 monthly listeners.
Found them through their singer's YT channel. They describe themselves as acoustic stoner rock, which I feel is a good description. Lots of influence from Queens of the Stone Age.
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!)
https://tyrantofdeath1.bandcamp.com/album/generation-bliss
I must have listened to this 50 times
