October 17, 2025 Release Highlights:
Biohazard, Divided We Fall (BLKIIBLK):
After reuniting the band’s classic line-up a few years ago with the return of singer Evan Seinfeld, the hardcore rockers release their first new album in 13 years. According to a description on Blabbermouth, the album finds the band “ at their most raw, relentless, and unifying. The album blends the band’s unmistakable fusion of hardcore, metal, and streetwise groove with a sharpened edge for a fractured modern world delivering a powerful reminder of why Biohazard remains one of the most vital and influential bands in heavy music.”
Chrissie Hynde, Duets Special (Parlophone):
The Pretenders frontwoman collaborates with the likes of Lucinda Williams, Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode), Brandon Flowers (The Killers), Debbie Harry (Blondie), and Shirley Manson (Garbage) for her fourth solo album.
Militarie Gun, God Save The Gun (Loma Vista):
The alt-rockers return with their sophomore full-length, which the band describes as “an absurdist guide to the intersection of self-destruction and self-belief.”
All Time Low, Everyone’s Talking! (Basement Noise):
The pop-punk band’s 10th studio effort is described by frontman Alex Gaskarth in Clash Music as “a love letter to relationships and ‘making peace with something you let go and letting light back into your life. This record is me getting to the other side, I’m learning to love again.’”
Battle Beast, Steelbound (Nuclear Blast):
The Finnish metal band releases its seventh studio album, a blend of ‘classic metal, superpowered synthesizers, and symphonic realms — even embracing ’80s-tinged hard rock.”
Sabaton, Legends (Better Noise):
The Swedish power metal band turns their attention to legendary, historic warriors on their 11th studio effort. Said bassist Pär Sundström, “11 tracks that cover 11 iconic legendary stories. This time we look further back in history than we have been the past few years, going to times that I think are very exciting. As someone who’s always been into the history of the Middle Ages, knights and the legends of old, it felt incredible to finally bring those stories into the Sabaton universe.”
