Metal releases, week 39

This week in metal, new albums from Bullet For My Valentine, DragonForce, Godflesh, and Ghostemane mark a diverse wave of releases, while legacy acts like Ozzy Osbourne, Motörhead, and Rammstein revisit their histories through concert films, anniversary editions, and live recordings. Emerging and established artists alike explore new sonic territories, from William Shatner’s unexpected foray into metal covers to Apocalyptica and Kalandra’s collaborative single. Additional highlights include new singles from Evanescence, Northlane, and Temic, as well as visual releases from Crypta and Luna Kills. The genre continues to evolve through reinvention, retrospection, and cross-genre experimentation.
