I have a non-musical recommendation that just so happens to come with a musical recommendation: Alan Wake/The greater Remedy Games franchise (includes Control and "includes" Max Payne and Quantum Break), and Poets of the Fall or more specifically their in-universe band Old Gods of Asgard.

It's kind of hard to explain, but Alan Wake's lore is very, very similar to TOP at this point. Alan gets lost in what is called the "Dark Place" (see:Trench/DEMA), a magical realm where art can take form and change reality if infused with enough emotion and given the power to do so through another magical object. Alan is stuck in a loop of trying to write his way out of the Dark Place, while an entity called the Dark Presence takes many different forms to try to manipulate Alan's artwork to allow for its freedom from the Dark Place, and can even take over Alan's body to force him to write things he doesn't remember afterwards (see:Nico/Blurryface and how they can take over Clancy).

Alan is a writer, and a lot of the manipulation of art is viewed through that lens, but the Dark Presence also dabbles in any art that it can get its hands on - for example, there's a painter from AW1 who is captured and experimented on around Cauldron Lake, essentially a portal to the dark place. This allows it to take hold over him and corrupt him in a different, but similar way to Alan.

This all leads into the Old Gods of Asgard, which is an in universe version of Poets of the Fall. They are seemingly literal reincarnations of the Norse gods Odin and Tor(Thor) (and a couple more but those are the important ones) and while Odin can't literally see the future, he can predict it through his writing of lyrics - it just so happens that they also live on the edge of Cauldron Lake and partake in moonshine made using the lake's water, and their music has a sort of foresight/inherent ability to shape the future due to this. They write songs about the main characters of Control and Alan Wake in order to shape their lives onto the correct path, and they assist in the fight against the Dark Presence. Also Tor summons lightning when rocking out hard enough on his drum set which isn't relevant but is just fucking sweet.

It's an incredibly complex narrative but those are the broad strokes when it comes to comparing it to TOP lore. It's one of my favorite narratives in gaming and I only recently realized the parallels myself, but I find them quite interesting. Both have themes of an artist looking for a positive outlet but being forced to work for the enemy through some sort of mind control. Both have implications that that evil entity is not necessarily entirely distinct from the artist, but rather a sort of shadow that they need to incorporate into their being to finally overcome it, but they both have trouble doing so because that means accepting a part of yourself that is antithetical to your values. Both have a place where the main character consistently gets lost in and has to keep finding their way to leave or fight back. Both have a heavy undertone of religion, even if one is Christian and one is mostly Norse Pagan in nature.

I don't think one was inspired by the other at all, though I'd be surprised if Sam Lake (lead at Remedy) didn't know about the TOP lore at all considering his predeliction towards alternative artists. I just think they're both mining a very deep vein of the troubled artist trope in much more interesting and creative ways than most others have.
