December 5, 2025 Release Highlights:
MC50, 10 More (earMusic):
Following the inclusion of a live bonus disc in the deluxe edition of the MC5’s Heavy Lifting, the touring band featuring members of Soundgarden, Fugazi, Faith No More and more backing up late MC5 member Wayne Kramer, the new album features more cuts from the same 2018 tour.
Enthroned, Ashspawn (Season Of Mist):
Taking six years to release their 12th studio effort, the Belgian black metal band collaborated with occult author Gilles de Laval for an album that “charts a descent into spiritual death and a transformative rebirth, framed by a lyrical architecture of demonology, ritual praxis, and metaphysical calculus.”
Upon A Burning Body, Blood Of The Bull (Independent):
The Texas metalcore band goes independent for the first time on their seventh studio album.
NOFX, A-H (Fat Wreck Chords):
The now-retired veteran California punks release the first installment of a three album series featuring rarities, demos and unreleased tracks.
Blood Red Throne, Siltskin (Soulseller):
The Norwegian death metal band describes their 12th studio album on the Soulseller Bandcamp as “heavier, faster, more melodic and powerful than ever and most importantly, an overall distinct BRT sound to it!”
Bonus Mentions:
Voidatlas, Descending – EP:
Denver’s Voidatlas have unleashed an atmospheric blend of progressive metalcore on their new EP. This technically rich, djent-infused, cinematic collection has boosted their rising profile across the Rockies following a recent support slot for Soulfly.
Hell Comes Home, Hell Comes Home
Hell Comes Home’s debut full-length builds on the momentum of their January EP Dying Breed, which quickly pushed the Southern duo into wider attention, delivering a fierce blend of deathcore intensity filled with raw emotion and sheer aggression.
