Latest Western Music Releases [September 2025]

In & OutRich Amiri

Rich Amiri – In & Out (Official Visualizer)

Rich Amiri, the Boston-born rapper whose 2024 album War Ready is still fresh in our minds, dropped a new track in September 2025 that’s packed with floor-shaking, powerful beats.

It channels the sound of the so-called underground rage scene, with shades of influence from artists like Playboi Carti.

Layered over that, his signature melodic and introspective flow adds depth, making the song more than just aggressive.

This release seems to explore shifting relationships and a sense of emotional instability behind success.

It’s a track that distills the momentum he’s built—especially since One Call reached No.

60 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2024—into one concentrated hit.

Baby Blue (feat. Oliver Sim)SG Lewis

SG Lewis – Baby Blue (feat. Oliver Sim)

SG Lewis from the UK is a multifaceted artist active as a singer-songwriter and producer.

Seamlessly traversing genres like deep house, synth-pop, and funk, he’s a proven talent who has also written songs for numerous artists, including Dua Lipa.

This is the lead single from his third album, “Anemoia,” set for release in September 2025.

The track features The xx’s Oliver Sim on vocals and comes together as a dance tune imbued with the sparkle of disco.

Reflecting the album’s overarching theme—nostalgia for an era one has never experienced—it blends a certain wistful emotion into its glamorous sound.

Its nostalgic world evokes faint memories of young love, making for a wonderfully comfortable vibe.

It feels like the perfect song for moments when you want to linger in a touch of sentimentality, wrapped in sophisticated production.

PEACESPEED

SPEED – PEACE (OFFICIAL MOVIE)

In Australia’s hardcore scene right now, you could say the most explosive band is Speed.

Their talent is undeniable—just look at how they won an ARIA Award in 2024 for the instant classic ONLY ONE MODE.

They’ve now released the lead single from their EP ALL MY ANGELS, set for October 2025.

The song draws its power from profound grief: the band lost three close friends in the span of 18 months.

From the outset, the pummeling riff and urgent vocals embody hardcore at its purest.

But at the core of the track lies a sense of calm found beyond loss, and a steadfast conviction in unconditional love for their departed friends.

This sound, where fury and serenity coexist, feels like a spiritual weapon for overcoming sorrow.

If you’re looking for a soundtrack to face adversity, this is unquestionably a song to recommend.

16/25Softcult

Softcult – 16/25 [official video]

Softcult is a Canadian twin duo who openly cite influences from ’90s grunge and shoegaze.

They’re also known for their DIY ethos and socially conscious messaging, and it’s still fresh in memory that their 2024 EP “See You in the Dark” was nominated for the JUNO Awards.

In September 2025, they released a new track from their first full-length album, “When A Flower Doesn’t Grow.” The song delivers a very serious allegation: grooming by an older individual.

The band’s knack for pairing a wall of distorted guitar noise that channels raw anger with a contrastingly dreamy, honeyed melody is truly impressive.

It’s a work that sets searing lyrics against a noisy yet pop sensibility—sure to resonate not only with socially minded rock fans but also with shoegaze lovers.

DynoSoul Blind

Soul Blind – Dyno (Official Music Video)

Soul Blind are a band that revives the textures of ’90s alt and grunge with a modern heavy sound.

Since their formation around 2018, they’ve steadily drawn attention for the way crushing, distortion-swirled volume coexists with sentimental melodies.

This track, released in advance from their second album Red Sky Mourning, is a prime example.

While inheriting the direction of their debut album Feel It All Around, the sound here pushes a darker, heavier side.

Within a wall-like thickness of guitar noise, it paints feelings of claustrophobia and inner turmoil, and the lyrics stand out for the protagonist’s earnest desire to break free.

This heavy yet beautiful world-building should resonate deeply with fans of bands like Deftones and My Bloody Valentine.

AntidepressantsSuede

Suede – Antidepressants (Official Audio)

Suede, the British rock band that dominated the scene in the 1990s as pioneers of Britpop, have remained highly active since reuniting, and their raw sound on the 2022 album Autofiction is still fresh in our memories.

The title track from their tenth album, Antidepressants, released in September 2025, is a powerful rock number charged with sharp questions for the modern age.

The song radiates a fierce impact with its post-punk-like breakneck rhythm and razor-edged guitar riffs.

Brett Anderson’s vocals, a blend of anxiety and ecstasy, sound like a soul’s cry for liberation from a regulated world.

It’s the perfect track for blasting away the stifling feeling of everyday life and vague unease—you’ll feel energy welling up from within as you listen.

depletedTallah

Tallah – depleted (Official Video)

The heavy metal band Tala from Pennsylvania was formed by the son of Mike Portnoy, best known as the drummer of Dream Theater, and is known for its unique sound dubbed “nu-core.” This track comes from their album “Primeval: Obsession // Detachment,” released in September 2025.

Vocalist Justin Bonitz has described it as “the weirdest song on the album,” and it delivers an unpredictable, chaotic sound.

The album itself is built around a sci-fi narrative, and this song seems to sonically portray the wavering moral compass of its characters.

The raw, unedited performance—free of clicks and heavy editing—further accentuates the madness.

For those who crave Slipknot-level intensity with an experimental edge, this track is irresistible.
