Welcome back to New Metal Releases for February 6th, a weekly series where I check out brand-new metal albums that dropped over the weekend and give you quick but honest reviews.
In this episode, I cover a wide range of metal styles, including progressive metal, symphonic metal, traditional heavy metal, power metal, groove metal, and black metal. Each album gets a brief introduction, a few highlighted tracks, and a score out of 10.
For the first time in this series, I’m also ranking the albums from my lowest score to my highest score, so make sure you watch until the end to see which release impressed me the most this week.
If you enjoy discovering new metal, comparing styles, and hearing honest opinions without hype, this series is for you.
👉 Don’t forget to check out last week’s episode, which should be on screen at the end of the video.
Like, subscribe, and let me know in the comments which album you enjoyed the most—or which one I should revisit.
