New drone metal releases: November 2 – 8, 2026

This week's drone metal releases highlight a convergence of enduring pioneers and emerging voices. Works from Sleep, Gianluca Becuzzi and Vrna, and Locrian's archival boxset reflect the genre's depth and historical continuity. New outputs from Nadja, Zenjungle, and Eijra Woon, alongside collaborations involving Sunn O))) and Boris, underscore ongoing experimentation. Additional releases from Alpha State, Merzbow, and William Basinski further illustrate the genre's expansive sonic terrain.
