Alternative metal releases, week 40

This week in alternative metal, new albums from Amon Amarth, Anthrax, and LORD OF THE LOST mark a wave of creative momentum, while Slipknot’s Jim Root hints at a provocative direction for their upcoming release. Collaborations emerge between Blind Channel and Of Mice & Men, and P.O.D. share a video for their track featuring Cory Brandan. Meanwhile, archival releases and tributes, including a reimagined Led Zeppelin cover and a film marking Linkin Park’s return, underscore the genre’s evolving legacy.
