Oh, the opinions are just now changing? What a fucking disgrace
Not metal, but I've recently come to appreciate Steppenwolf's "Monster/Suicide/America"

The second Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson gets close. It's a setting where magic meets wild west tech, including guns, cars, and electricity.
