January is over - and good riddance! Alright, it wasn't that bad, but we're just itching to get stuck into the rest of 2025 with plenty of brilliant new albums to come. In that spirit (pun half-intended), we've got rising stars Spiritbox back on the cover of Metal Hammer ahead of the release of Tsunami Sea in March.
But while that's well and good, we're also bringing you fresh faces you perhaps haven't heard of. Much as we did last month, we've scouted far and wide to bring you some of the most exciting sounds from across the metal and heavy spectrum, this month unearthing everything from pop-infused metalcore to self-styled fairy doom.
