New speed metal releases: November 2 – 8, 2026

This week in speed metal, several significant releases and reissues highlight the genre's enduring legacy and evolving presence. Sabaton expands its Legends collection with a deluxe edition featuring a previously unreleased track, while Motörhead commemorates the 40th anniversary of Orgasmatron with a special edition and a pop-up shop event. New music emerges from Marty Friedman and Crownsift, a project uniting members of Finntroll and Children of Bodom, alongside a reimagined version of a Nightwish classic by ZP Theart. Additional archival material from Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson’s early band The New Yorkers further enriches the genre’s historical depth.
