November, already?! We're hurtling towards the end of the year - and with it all those lists people love to complain about - but there's still no shortage of fantastic new music to discover. While we've got you covered when it comes to the best metal albums of 2023 (so far), our voyage of discovery for excellent new bands never slows and with festivals announcing on a weekly basis right now, that offers plenty of opportunities to find new bands to get excited about for summer 2024 and beyond!
That in mind, we've hunted high and low to find you the most exciting new bands around in the metal world. Whether that's heartland fare from thrash metal warriors, industrial noiseniks or death metal brutes, or moving beyond into the worlds of goth, hardcore, punk and beyond, we like to think we can find something for just about any taste.
