We're officially past the halfway point of 2025! With the sun blazing overhead and the fields of Europe packed seemingly every week with a new metal festival, we're rapidly marching through the year now. And that means, of course, more new music!
Much as we do every month, this month we've pulled together a collection of rising stars from across the metal spectrum, covering everything from metalcore and alternative metal to industrial and folk. You can read all about those bands below, and stick on our massive playlist if you want to hear their latest releases. See you again next month!
