Many references. And by cultural do you mean just mythology, or else things relevant to our modern culture, such as drugs, political themes (e.g. racism, wars (Cold, World War Three), totalitarism), urban life in general? This sound like a very broad category to me.
But I'll stick to mytholoogy.
In rock music, and especially in metal music, one can often find references to Satan and figures and events from various mythologies. The most often is Norse mythology, probably because of the barbaric image of ancient Scandinavians, and because many famous metal bands come from Scandinavia. Bands from Finland also reference Kalevala (Ensiferum, Turisas), and black and death metal bands from Russia, Ukraine, Croatia often reference Slavic mythology. Bands from Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan refer to Turkic mythology. Heavy metal bands don't refer often to mythology. The Russian heavy metal band Aria has a song called Ikar (Icarus). Iron Maiden has songs with historical references (Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan). They probably have a mythological reference, but I can't remember it right now.
