Just to note: Some death-metal bands have positive lyrics[0,1]... (Though, whether they can really be called a death metal band is possibly a point of contention.)

Some examples with science-themed lyrics (not all "death metal", though):

Avenged Sevenfold - Fermi Paradox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl8rofNa0tI

Avenged Sevenfold - Exist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntgOlFbGWLY

Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJb3xwtpmmc

Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUb1p8fm7Ag

Dream Theater - The Great Debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z6vpiXQJNA

Allegaeon - Gray Matter Mechanics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu-NvEec8y8

Allegaeon - All Hail Science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONPMWHP8AZ4

I think those are more towards the symphonic end of the metal spectrum. They tend to love science, SciFi, but also fantasy.

Not only do they have positive lyrics, some even have comforting recipes[2]

I don't know why but I half-expect that to be a ROSMT[0] link.

tgi definitely have positive lyrics, most modern melodic hc bands do, but they are definitely hardcore and not metal

Can't mention positivity without linking Lykathea Aflame [0]
