Metal releases, week 37

This week in metal, a wave of new releases and announcements spans decades and subgenres, from Slipknot's surprise single 'Arsenal' to Steven Wilson's ninth studio album, Requiem For A Village. Bands like Spiritbox, BEAST IN BLACK, and INSOMNIUM unveil new singles and visual content, while legacy acts such as Mötley Crüe and Van Halen revisit their past with anniversary editions and rare demos. New albums from Green Lung, As I Lay Dying, and Master Boot Record highlight evolving sounds, from occult themes to synth-driven metal.
