2025 is ending in exceptional fashion as far as metal is concerned and 2026 looks to be following in its fuzz dremched footsteps. Here's a new band with the DNA of 3 bands I've followed and loved set to unleash something special next year
'What happens when the crushing weight of Indus Valley Kings, the sludgy jams of Caves of Utah, and the fuzzed-out energy of Axis Orbit collide? You get a brand-new band thatβs heavy, trippy, and alive with groove' β Tombs of Paracas
Richard Anderson - drums
Billy Fridrich - guitar/vocals
Joe Martino - bass

The very best of the recent new releases. Some killer death metal albums proving that this genre is anything but stale. As always I've also highlighted 'must haves' from the realm of stoner/thrash and doom. You can access all of the Bandcamp links on the Blog https://www.anointingthesick.com/2025/12/essential-new-releases-271125-to-81225.html

Emissary β Eldritch (2026 Re-Release via Black Lion Records)
Thrash/Death Metal β Barcelona, Spain
Black Lion Recordsproudly presents the 2026 re-release of Eldritch, the debut full-length album from Barcelonaβs rising force Emissaryβa fierce hybrid of thrash and death metal forged in cosmic horror.
Eldritch delivers a relentless assault of crushing riffs, razor-sharp aggression, and dark atmospheric undertones. The album dives deep into themes of the unknown, blending raw energy with haunting melodies to create an oppressive and immersive cosmic horror experience.
Formed in October 2023 by Michel Regueiro and Hlib Overchuk, Emissary was created with the vision of channeling otherworldly dread through extreme metal. After solidifying their sound in early 2024, the band entered the studio to record their first material; by April 2024 Phillip Graves had joined, completing the lineup and driving the writing of their debut.

Another non curated playlist to tickle your tinnitus and fry your senses. This time its 30 stoner bands so expect plenty of fuzz, wah and endless jams. As usual I've tried to keep it original with plenty of bands that you may not be familiar with. I took a lot of pleasure compiling this list and I hope you get a lot of pleasure listening to it.

I've been writing about music for a very long time and I can't remember a time when there was so much exceptional underground music readily available. Here are some of the recent bangers that have caught my attention. I've omitted loads of great stuff because it's impossible to find quality time to go through them all. The following, however, are very much worthy of your time and effort to lend an ear.

βawesome podcast & introduction to new metal music as always. Some heavy heavy death metal on here. Really enjoyed the Watchers, reminded me a little of celtic frost more funky though.Black Curse one of the heaviest bands I've heard for a while, will be listening to more and buying their music.Marmalade Knives cool band name cool music. Nice trippy sound a little upbeat for me but cool.Negative thought Process reminded me a little of gorerotted with the dual vocals and musically like Nail Bomb and hardcore punk band Doom Very cool and v.angry.Czern were very heavy enjoyed this allot.Really enjoyed electric feat and dark fog very cool trippy bands. Liked the more chaotic feel of dark fog.
Keep up the good work and hope you are well.β ~ Rabid Acid Badger
βHey Steve, Iβm really enjoying your Deathrattle Podcast. There are quite a few of the Death/Thrash/Doom bands making it into a playlist on my Spotify because of this, so Cheersβ ~ James Dubock
