2025 has felt pretty relentless – in all ways and a product of that is a relentless onslaught of music to weed through with the spare hours we have outside of work, and we’ve found some doozies with Spite, The Acacia Strain, and more. It’s to safe to say there’s 30 or more releases in any given two weeks now (Loudwire always keeps count), and it’s getting overwhelming. Bands are already announcing albums for 2026 but some are also announcing some for the end of this year.
From black metal to deathcore to power metal to extreme metal… there’s bound to be something for just about anyone. There is a selection of Dayseeker, Spite, Avatar, and more to choose from.
So with that in mind, we’ve made sure to continue to keep track of new releases that you should have on your radar, and we’ve whittled them down to ten you need to have on your radar over the next two weeks.
