Don't worry, age isn't a dealbreaker, I have a couple of mutuals on Tumblr who are in their 30s-40s——so it'd be unfair to have that boundary on this site I think :D
As for bands, I enjoy the goth band Clan of Xymox, and I'm currently listening to a band called Cemetery Sex (they've only got a few songs out right now but they're really good!) As for metal, I'm a massive fan of Judas Priest——their album Sin After Sin is one of my favourites of all time. If you know any similar bands I'd love to hear about them!
I've listened to a few horror podcasts, so yes I'd love to share recs with you! My favourite is probably the Magnus Archives——it's an episodic "monster of the week"-type format that gradually builds up into an overarching story. That's finished, but there's currently a sequel podcast called the Magnus Protocol that's ongoing and is in its second season (I think? I haven't caught up in a couple of months.) The episode releases are weekly with occasional breaks. I can also recommend the Silt Verses. I didn't really get much into it because I was distracted by other things at the time but the episodes I did listen to were great! That's more of an overarching story rather than episodic I think. The podcast finished a few months ago, so all the story is available. I'd also recommend Malevolent——or the first three seasons at least. I didn't really like how it progressed beyond that point and I stopped listening, but the first three seasons are definitely worth it. It's going into its sixth (and last) season at the moment, and the episode releases are roughly monthly. The story is generally from the perspective of the two main characters, and each series is set in a different location, and is vaguely Lovecraftian in nature. Currently, I'm listening to Not Quite Dead! I'm not many episodes in at the moment (about four or five) but I'm enjoying it at the moment. I don't have a lot of knowledge of the plot yet, but if you like vampires the podcast is probably for you! I'd also like to suggest the Ichorous Rot——that's only got two episodes out at the moment but I know one of the people involved in it, and I bet there'll probably be another episode sometime soon. I Am In Eskew and Archive 81 are also two podcasts I've heard good things about, but I've not started listening to them yet. I Am In Eskew is something to do with a city (?), and I think Archive 81 is similar to the Magnus Archives.
