What New Heavy Metal Music To Listen To

By Lisa West


Belphegor is a band out of Australia that many people have heard of because of their eleven albums that have attained widespread success. They have figured out exactly what makes a great song in this genre and they know exactly how to please their fans. The new heavy metal music that comes from this band, including their song "Apophis - Black Dragon", has all of the violent melodies, blasts of sound, and turbulent rhythms that they have become known for.

When songs in this genre have a powerful message behind them that is relevant to society when the record is dropped, the impact can be huge. There is no better way to get people to understand and believe in a certain important issue because these songs make their listeners feel passionate and energetic, and showcases powerful vocals. Body Count's hit track "No Lives Matter" brings the cold, hard facts about a very important issue to the main stage through Ice-T's frustrated and on-point vocals.

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 a disgusting album that is absolutely horrible in the best possible way, look no further than Forever by Code Orange. The absolute insanity of the title track is enough to create chaos anywhere that it is played. The song takes many different unexpected turns, making it a conceptual journey.

Nothing is better than when a band really finds a way to capture its beloved sound again after it may have left them for a number of years, or for them to find an all-new sound entirely that works for them and their audience. This is how the band DragonForce finds itself on their album Reaching into Infinity. It's hard not to feel triumphant when listening to "Ashes of the Dawn".

"Die With Integrity" by Dying Fetus is a great song to thrash out to for those who love to be in the mosh pit. It has all of the intensity that fans expect from this type of song. At the same time, it also feels like a throwback to the songs that started this genre.

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".
