The Best New Heavy Metal Music

By Lisa West


Many people have heard of Belphegor because of how successful many of their eleven albums have been over the course of their long career. Hailing from Australia, this band has long been working on the formula for the perfect song in this genre, and they have established their style as one of the definitive sounds in new heavy metal music. "Apophis - Black Dragon" is a great song of theirs to check out because it exemplifies the intense rhythms and heroic melodies that they are known for.

Many people were moved when Body Count dropped the single "No Lives Matter". The passion and frustration that Ice-T has about the social issues described in the song really shows. This takes the listener on an energetic journey that gets them just as frustrated as him.

When Jeremy Wagner of Broken Hope came across some guitars that once belonged to and were played by the famous Jeff Hanneman from the band Slayer, he knew he had to have them. He didn't know what would become of them, but he knew it would be something special. That was when he and the band made their album called Mutilated and Assimilated, and he recorded such hits from the album as "The Carrion Eaters" on these legendary guitars.

For fans who have a taste for the distasteful, the entire Forever album by Code Orange is a great thing to listen to. The title track from this album has the ability to create chaos wherever it is played. This is because of the frenetic rhythms and sudden stops, then blasts of distorted sound that take the listener on a thrilling ride of all their worst nightmares and most violent thoughts.

For groups that have been around for a long time, it can be hard to maintain the same sound and stop it from sounding stale after a while. This is not a problem that DragonForce currently has because their album Reaching into Infinity is as rejuvenated a sound as fans can ask for. The most triumphant track on the album is probably "Ashes of the Dawn".

People who like to move around and express themselves physically in violent ways when they listen to songs in this genre are probably familiar with Dying Fetus. The songs this band plays are perfect for that type of activity, including "Die With Integrity". This song blends new styles with some of the older ones.

There are plenty of dark bands to look into from Norway. One of the favorites of many is called Enslaved, and they have been playing songs about Vikings and rituals for a long time now. "Storm Son" is one of their absolute masterpieces, and it takes listening to it with headphones on, over a quality sound system, or live to hear everything that they put into this barbaric song.

It is hard for a band to find a new frontman, especially when fans have grown to love them. The death of Oderus Urungus, AKA Dave Brockie, left GWAR without a singer. Fortunately, Blothar has been able to handle the material, and he really shines on "F--ck This Place".
