There is so much amazing Metal out this week, it might’ve been hard to keep up. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with a comprehensive list of new Metal you should probably check out.

Eluveitie is back and with a deep searing passion that needs to be heard. With first single, Aidus, I felt like I was witnessing music history. This new single is no different. It’s aggressive, punchy, multi layered, and intense!

Lorna Shore

Lorna Shore’s highly anticipated full length album is out, and it is setting the Metal community ablaze. It is immensely dark, depressing, and incredibly deep. Who knew Deathcore could be so emotional? Lorna Shore is in a league of their own, and this new record is a testament to that. Pain Remains is out today and here is the bombastic new single to celebrate it. Full review is coming soon.

Epica

Epica’s new collaboration album is a new frontier for the band, and is proving to be just as brilliant as traditional albums. This single lights it up with Symphonic Death Metallers Fleshgod Apocalypse. This song sounds as monolithic as you would expect, The blast beats are superb as well as crystal clear vocals from Simone atop a massive choir. It is a must hear track of the week.

Amaranthe

Swedish Melodic Metal/Synth Pop band Amaranthe are on a new war path this year. I don’t have a lot of details on the new record yet, but I know it’ll be quite different without the presence of the incredible growler Henrik Englund. They said they’re not working on a new album yet, but they’re in the studio? I’m immensely confused by what’s happening with Amaranthe, and unfortunately the new single doesn’t help at all. I love this band and always will, but this is one of the most disappointing singles I’ve heard in a long time. It’s worth a listen to form your own opinion, but I just didn’t feel this one at all.

Borealis

If you like sad boi music and deep soulful tones, Borealis might be what you need in your life right now. These guys came out of nowhere for me and completely shocked me. This is some of the most emotional music I’ve heard in awhile, but also with great musicianship.

Beyond The Black

German Melodic Heavy Metal band BtB are coming back after the bombastic release “Horizons”, with a toned down self titled album with a recurring theme. The new record has themes signaling influences from fandoms like Game of Thrones and Star Wars. I’m anticipating an album of epic nerdom and deeply melodious music.

Ad Infinitum

Symphonic Power Metal Swisses are coming back in 2022 with a new but familiar sound after hit record Monarchy Chapter II. They’re bringing on chapter III with more Metal, more growls, more beats, and more solos. This single took awhile for me to warm up to, because it’s more sing-song and Poppy than I expected, but I grew to love it.
