The bands I listen mostly while writing are:

Apocalyptica - The metal sound of cellos and drum makes it a fantastic band and due to the fact that most of their music are purely instrumental, it doesn't interfere with your thoughts.

Symphonic/Folk/Gothic Metal bands like Evanescence, Lyriel, Delain, Stream of Passion, The Dreamside... because of the haunting sound of these groups.

Heavy/Power Metal bands like Sabaton, Hammerfall, Battle Beast, Kontrust for the raw metal sound... "for the raw metal sound" Heavy and Power metal and especially refined and overproduced a lot. Raw sound would be Black Metal.
