If wanting a good rock/heavy metal album, check out "Rebirth - Greatest Hits" from Old Gods of Asgard. It's a collection of the music they've done for Alan Wake 1/2 and Control, but it all works together as like one great rock album. Don't even have to know the games, only one song is actively talking about story stuff from the game, and that's Herald of Darkness, but even then, it's a good song to listen to on its own, I probably heard it a dozen times before I actually got around to playing Alan Wake 2 lol
