To kick off 2024, here’s our final piece of year-end coverage for 2023: a ‘best of’ our staff’s ‘best ofs’.

It’s not all metal, but it is all good stuff – dive into Addison Herron-Wheeler’s picks for the best of 2023.

Tom Campagna tells us about his favorite albums from the year – make sure to check out all the interviews he did with these stellar picks, too.

We gathered suggestions from our writers and came up with 22 recommendations for the best heavy music released in 2023 so far.

We round up 14 top picks (and list out 25+ honorable mentions) from Q1 2023, including Lamp of Murmuur, Katatonia, and more.

Here’s all the new metal that’s releasing between March 26th and April 1st, 2023 — spin (or skip) new music from Lamp of Murmuur, Kommand, Demonstealer, and more.

We talked to NJ hardcore band Gel about their upcoming debut record “Only Constant” and their recent touring activities.
