Well, I'm 72 and I love music. Since my young years Metal was my preffered genre, apart of the classics, nothing has changed since now more than half a century

I'm in the same boat as the journalist. I love metal, but I don't like growling or the simple hateful lyrics that a lot of bands do.

Can anyone recommend good places to find new bands that don't do those things? I've struggled with finding new bands to listen to for a really long time.

I don't have any money, so free radio channels, playlists on Spotify, or things like that would be greatly appreciated.

Well, growling, it depends, well done can set good accents. Anyway there are a lot of styles which don't use growling. There is a nice page which search similar groups of from those you put in, great to discover new groups.

You can also search your favorite style in Bandcamp, there you can find interesting groups which you can listen and also buy their tracks if you want.
