We have a lot of parallels. I turn 64 in a week and I was also subject to a Catholic upbringing albeit to a much smaller degree than you were. My family and extended family were Catholic but nobody was extreme. I had the odd idea growing up that the whole religion thing was some kind of social convention that nobody actually believed in. I was around 12-13 years-old when I became aware that people actually took this shit seriously and believed it for real. It was shocking to me!
I find your musical taste kind of funny in a Wayne's World kind of way. I'm a late bloomer in that way. I started out with extremely mild musical taste. Like another member who doesn't post much here any more, I have an appreciation of the Swedish band Abba! I gradually developed a taste for hard rock as I aged. Not to the same degree as you but I love Rush. One of my all-time favorites is Alice Cooper's The Ballard of Dwight Fry.
Anyway, Welcome to the Forum!
Thank you, hopefully I won't let you down.
