From groundbreaking newcomers to long-awaited comebacks, this list dives into the records that defined the genre—pushing boundaries, delivering massive riffs, and keeping metal’s spirit alive and brutal. Here are the year’s must-hear albums that every metal fan needs in their rotation.
Bring Me the Horizon: POST HUMAN: NeX GEn
Bring Me The Horizon’s Post Human: NeX GEn is a daring blend of genres, from metalcore to hyperpop, showcasing the band's ability to continuously evolve. Tracks like “Kool-Aid” and “LosT” deliver stadium-ready choruses, while songs like “n/A” explore deeper, introspective themes. Collaborations with artists like AURORA and Lil Uzi Vert bring unique textures to the album, especially on the explosive “AmEN!” The album closes with the ambitious “DIg It,” which ties together the diverse styles found throughout. NeX GEn is both a nostalgic nod to their post-hardcore roots and a bold leap into new territory.
