Explained simply
Metal covers a wide range of styles, from punk and black metal to metalcore and traditional heavy metal. New releases can be standalone songs or previews of albums due later, and artists often share them around tours or other live dates.
The artists featured here include established British heavy metal band Saxon, Finnish band Blind Channel and US metalcore group Sleep Theory. Imminence, Entheos, Yoth Iria, Mean Ghouls and Crucivore bring other styles and backgrounds to the selection.
Readers’ polls offer one way to see which new tracks are attracting attention, while the songs themselves show the range of metal being released. A mix of new music and forthcoming albums also gives listeners a chance to discover bands they may not know.
