November 15, 2024 Release Highlights:
Linkin Park, From Zero (Warner Records/Machine Shop):
The band makes its highly anticipated return following the death of singer Chester Bennington in 2017, this time with Emily Armstrong on vocals and Colin Brittain on drums.
Poppy, Negative Spaces (Sumerian):
The genre-bending singer “continue[s] to widen her sonic palette” with her sixth studio album, which a press release says finds her “mirror-balling through delicately-delivered pop, full bodied screams, synth-symbiotic ‘80s retro-futurism, and energy-jolted ‘00s pop-punk.”
As I Lay Dying, Through Storms Ahead (Napalm):
Despite all of the band’s members aside from Tim Lambesis jumping ship before its release, they soldier on with their eighth studio effort.
Primal Code, Opaque Fixation (Relapse):
The band releases its debut full-length, filled with “no-frills, no nonsense death metal.”
Sister Hazel, Sand, Sea & Crash Debris (Rock Ridge Music):
For the band’s 13th studio effort, they get “personal and introspective,” exploring “themes of vulnerability, love, growth, and renewal.”
