The physical sound card is not going to alter your sound in any real way. To get your sound "gross", "wild", and "raw", you are going to have to use plugins in the box AFTER you've recorded. A sound card itself won't do that for you.

but what would be a good quality sound card anyway, to guarantee i will have a good sound? i'm lost because there are very different prices and types around. some of them really expensive.

Choosing a sound card, audio interface, field recorder or sampler/MPC depends on a number of factors:

your experience
the types of instruments or sounds you want to record
gear you already own
types of tracks you want to make
software you want to use
budget you have to work with

I always say, start small. Look at what you already own. What can you do with what you already have? When you think about buying any new piece of gear, think about how it will fit with what you already own and what it adds to your current setup.

The truth is today's free software plus the 'garbage' sounds chips on today's phones, tablets, laptops and computers are far more capable than what engineers had in previous decades, and those engineers were still capable of making amazing records.

To put it another way, even I were to recommend some specific card or piece of hardware, it would mean nothing if you can't sit and listen to the youtube videos you shared and pick out what effects and processing are being used to affect the sounds and get the overall quality and vibe of each track.

Having said all that, if you really want a versatile piece of gear for learning how to record and feel like you are getting decent sound quality, I'd invest in a Zoom field recorder, say the H4n or H6n. These can take XLR or 1/4 in inputs, have decent built stereo mics and can be plugged into a PC, laptop or even an iPad through USB for use as a sound card. You can carry this thing in your pocket and record sounds where ever you go. Then get some sort of audio editing program that lets you work with multiple tracks. Learn about plugins.

At the very least look up the artists whose videos you linked to, and google for interviews with them. They might talk about what gear or techniques they use which should give you direction on what types of gear to look into to get those sorts of sounds.

Good luck!
