DEFTONES
Ohms
Warner Music
A new album from these guys… honestly I’ve never really been a fan. Their last album was a bit promising, this one seems to be back to old form, melodic with that nu-metal sound and the classic Chino vox.

Nasty
Menace
Century Media
metalcore and nu-metal with a brutal sound, big breakdown stuff…

Mr Bungle
“Eracist”
Ipecac Recordings
I mean, Mr Bungle was already at their own level… adding Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo to the mix makes it just not fair. This song seems to keep it pretty metal and still keeping a little of the quirky Mr Bungle sound.

Undeath
Acidic Twilight Visions
Prosthetic Records
Brutal Death metal, with some big grooves and headbangning goodness

Black Satellite
”Void”
Self Released
Here’s a bit of a modern metal thing

ANAAL NATHRAKH
Endarkenment
Metal Blade
I’ve always said this is “kitchen sink” metal, because they throw in EVERYTHING… fast, brutal, technical, black metal, growls, screams, speed, groove, melody, intensity. No signs of letting up

SIX FEET UNDER
Nightmares of the Decomposed
Metal Blade
25 years of six feet under… still at it, still doing some good rippin’ death metal, this is a bit more heavy and brutal as Jack Owen is now in the fold. Vocals are classic Chris Barnes… his vox are a bit cashed, but that’s the style and it works… a few of his classic pig squeals too. Heck even some cool melodic guitar soloing too

Tallah
Matriphagy
Earache Records
A new take on a Slipknot sound… maybe throw a little Deftones/Dillinger Escape Plan in there too, a lot of energy and angst.

NEVALRA
THE BLACK FLAME
M-THEORY AUDIO
Reissue of their debut from 2015, great thrashy heavy melodic death

Raven Black
The Key
WURM Group
Harsh and clean female vox, modern groove metal/basic metalcore,.

Enslaved
Utgard
Nuclear Blast USA
melodic blackened metal, a bit doomy, clean and harsh vox, keyboards and stuff, too, a bit prog/goth a little too!

Amaranthe
Manifest (single)
Nuclear Blast USA
Female fronted, a bit of a gothy modern sounding metal, they’ve been around a long time… a bit “commercial” ish sounding… some harsh vox too.

Sepsiss

This has that modern metal thing going on too, a little metalcore, some groove metal, clean female vox

More melodic side of black metal.

Second to Sun
Leviathan
Self-Release
29 September 2020
I’d say this is melodic blackened death. While it does have a main black metal sound, it isn’t quite so harsh and cold… theres a fuller sound with the more traditional black metal vox.

Nubivagant
Roaring Eye
Amor Fati
30 September 2020
Black metal with doom. Music is pretty standard black metal, vox are more of a clean doomy style. interesting!

FATE (Italy)

Brutal thrashy death metal, most songs about a minute and half of less, so a lot of punch and brutality packed into short songs.

Black/Death Metal from Panama, brutal, almost grindy/gore with a wall of noise/sound for production.

A reiusse of the very first Behemoth album/ep… a lot more raw, old school black metal compared to what they have become these days. still some good stuff here!

Neal Morse
Sola Gratia
InsideOut
Release date: Friday, September 11, 2020
Neal Morse is back with some more prog, while this is a religious album, it’s basically the lyrical content and follow up to the Sola Scriptura album, it’s still full on prog with my man, Portnoy on drums. Some of the stuff on here is more just prog rock, but some pushing into the metal realm. As a fan boy, i’m down with this…

Heathen

A mix of thrash and power metal from these veterans, great stuff.

With a band name like this, you can probably guess it’ll be heavy… this is actually a bit more catchy/melodic and not full on brutal murder metal. It’s got a heavy thrash thing going on…. cool stuff.

The Hawkins
Silence is a Bomb
The Sign Records
Release date: Friday, September 4th 2020
kind of poppy hard rock

almost folky, acoustic rock… nope.

Idiot Robot
Idiot Robot
Dead Games Records
Described as “Death Pop/Indie Rock from US” Usually when something says “pop” I don’t even bother downloading, but this “death pop” had piqued my curiousity… It does have a hard grungy quality to it, but it is pretty much just alt/pop rock with an occasional growly going on

Band: AIRFORCE
Album: Strike Hard
Label: Pitch Black Records
Release date: September 4th, 2020
Classic metal from the UK… I had to double check that the singer was not Bruce Dickinson, sounds JUST LIKE him.
