Best New Music 2026 Edition

Holding this space for the eventual new Samael and Moonspell albums set to come out later this year. It doesn't matter how good they are or arent, they'll still be amazing! Also, with luck, we'll get a new Mastodon album.
 
It will be good to get new music from Anthrax, Running wild and Beast in black, hope the new Ayreon come this year as well
 
New albums from Chez Kane (Reckless out 27 March on Frontiers), Crashdïet (TBA), Hardcore Superstar (TBA), Stryper and The Cruel Intentions this year.

The 69 Eyes just released a single in collaboration with Steve Stevens:


Overall I'm thinking 2026 is going to be a GREAT year in music for me personally, and 2025 wasn't bad.

The new bands all sound great (the instruments) there is a lot of great players great melodies but there is a lack of good singers ( for me) i dont like them. Beast in black powerwolf sabbaton and many others maybe im used to the classics heavy metal rock and powermetal singers but thats because i dont listen new music i think. I try but for me are boring. Youngblud another one he sings ok but tthat is not like 90s or 80s singer even if all the media says that.

Beast in Black are super exciting - even if I wasn't a fan of their latest album at all, From Hell With Love is among the best albums I heard in the 2010s.

Also currently giving Alter Bridge's new self-titled album that released a couple of days ago its first listen. It's a lot better than I thought it would be

Well its just my opinon i think 80s or 90s singers has more personality. Beast in black singer sings really well but dont know something is missing there to be great.

Singer is bald - maybe personality is in the hair?

Im not talking about how he looks its how he sounds. I mean if you compare to all this singers

Axl rose
Dave mustaine
Hetfield
Blackie lawless
Bruce dickinson
Rob halford
Kai hansen
Kiske
Deris

For me powerwolf sabaton beast in black and many others new bands sounds great but the singer for me has no "passion" in their voices. I dont know how to explain or im just from another decade
