The summer months might be drawing to a close, but 2025 is still in full swing when it comes to new music. As the festival fields of Europe open for the last burst of events (and we gear up for the likes of Riot Fest and Aftershock in the States), there's still plenty of opportunities to discover some excellent new metal bands.
So, much as we did last month, we've assembled a diverse selection of some of the finest new bands to release exciting new music for your listening pleasure. There's massive riffs and radio-friendly choruses from Unpeople, Satanic boogies from Saturday Night Satan, infernally complex prog metal from Tiberius and hazy Deftonescore heavygaze from Oversize, all ready for you to explore.
