Pro-environmentalism, anti-fascist, Scottish anarcho-punk.
Fuiam Catha means Sound of Battle.

Octopath Traveler II OST by Yasunori Nishiki.
I’m not sure if you were looking only for bands or music with lyrics, but this is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.
Samples:
Thanks for the samples! Those are good. That game also looks really interesting. I’ve only heard of octodad.
