May 2025 brought another flood of new metal releases; from more technical and progressive death titans to blackened death metal comebacks, and also some surprises from the new generation. In this video, I break down the best, worst, and most noteworthy metal albums of the month. Whether you’re into brutal riffs, atmospheric melodies, or experimental weirdness, I think that there’s something here for every metalhead. #newmetalalbums #metalhead @behemothofficial @TheHauntedOfficial @thecallousdaoboys3398 @Riversofnihilpa
