This week’s new heavy metallic releases embody some yeehaw, some experimental weirdness, some epic stuff, and extra! To the metals…
Benthos – From Nothing
Style: Progressive metallic
Origin: Milan, Italy
Label: InsideOut
Purchase now on Bandcamp
Getting this week’s celebration began with some fairly rad prog. This report has these guys displaying off some djenty parts, plenty of melody, and even some shoegaze ambiance. They’re like a mix of The Contortionist and Good Tiger. Would suggest.
Elvenking – Reader Of The Runes – Luna

Style: Energy/people metallic
Origin: Sacile, Italy
Label: Reaper
Purchase now from Elvenking
Let’s get epic! The band’s third within the Reader of the Runes sequence is one other report that may make you need to mosh in your most interesting animal pelt. Just a few well-done fantasy stuff right here.
Epica – Aspiral

Style: Symphonic metallic
Origin: Reuver, Limburg, Netherlands
Label: Reigning Phoenix
Purchase now from Epica
Aspiral retains the hovering metallic theme going, however much less of a people lean. Regardless of having a VERY prolific 4 years with plenty of dwell albums and EPs, that is the band’s full-length since 2021’s Omega. Log-time followers could also be excited to be taught that this one contains three extra entries into the on-going “A New Age Dawns” saga. I very a lot stay up for the eventual (possible?) efficiency of the complete suite.
In The Woods… – Otra

Style: Progressive black metallic/doom
Origin: Kristiansand, Norway
Label: Prophecy
Purchase now on Bandcamp
Bringing the darkness this week we have now the most recent from the proggy, bleak, and blackened In The Woods…. Otra is a seven track assortment of lengthy and catchy songs. Followers of Inexperienced Carnation and maybe Borknagar ought to examine this out.
The Mars Volta – Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos Del Vacio

Style: Progressive/experimental rock
Origin: El Paso, Texas
Label: Clouds Hill
Purchase now through Clouds Hill
I went to one of many current Deftones exhibits that The Mars Volta opened the place they performed this album in full. Assuming the studio model is not wildly completely different, it’s within the realm of their self-titled comeback report. Fairly chill, spacy, and experimental. Followers of the early chaotic years could also be left wanting (once more?).
Messa – The Spin

Style: Doom rock
Origin: Cittadella, Veneto, Italy
Label: Metallic Blade
Purchase now on Bandcamp
The Spin is a type of information that I may see crossing over to the extra hip music shops. It’s a enjoyable and darkish report with toes in each doom and post-punk. You may wanna dance and headbang.
Mark Morton – With out The Ache

Style: Southern rock
Origin: Williamsburg, Virginia
Label: Snakefarm Music Group
Purchase now from Mark
Are you THAT stunned {that a} dude from Virginia goes all in on Southern fried rock? Lamb of God‘s most-bearded guitarist has just a few heavy mates with Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and Neil Fallon (Clutch) guesting, however the remainder of the names that come out to me are dealt with by correct nation/Southern rock voices. If Chappell Roan’s boot-scootin’ flip does not do it for you, perhaps Mark’s will.
