RenewalCoroner
Coroner, a band that represents Switzerland.
They excel at technical thrash and have earned a cult following worldwide for their sophisticated musicianship that incorporates elements of jazz and classical music.
Here is their first new track in an astonishing 32 years.
Rather than merely imitating their past style, this piece showcases a sound that honestly reflects who they are today.
Their technical, complex song structures remain intact, but the more refined production and tighter vocals fuse together to brilliantly convey the band’s theme of “renewal.” This is the lead single from their album Dissonance Theory, slated for release in October 2025, and it’s an irresistible strike for anyone seeking an intellectual metal sound.
REDRUMBambie Thug
Hailing from Ireland, Bambie Thug—who has shared the stage on European tours with BABYMETAL and Poppy—is an artist drawing major attention, having earned their country its best Eurovision result since 2000 at Eurovision 2024.
They’ve now signed with a new label, and this is the release that dropped in August 2025.
Produced by Shaun Lopez—known for his work with Far and projects like ††† (Crosses)—the record delivers an aggressive blend: industrial metal exploding into a hybrid sound layered with distorted vocals.
It’s a “cry of rebellion” against social division and oppression, and it carries a message of liberation for the LGBTQIA community.
Without a doubt, they’re poised to shake up the alternative scene—be sure to check it out.
RooboshNewDad
How about a band that infuses a dreamy, ethereal sound with the energy of ’90s alternative? Hailing from Ireland, NewDad have been drawing attention since their 2018 formation for their fusion of shoegaze and pop.
Their debut album Madra, released in 2024, earned high praise, including a nomination for the RTÉ Choice Music Prize.
Vocalist Julie Dawson has also showcased her versatility by contributing songs to the popular Life Is Strange game series.
Her slightly wistful vocals, woven together with at times aggressive guitar work, create a one-of-a-kind world.
They successfully headlined shows in Japan in 2024, and their appearance at Fuji Rock in 2025 was also well received.
With their upcoming second album on the horizon, they’re a young band to watch, poised for an even bigger breakthrough!
Rude AwakeningProng
Prong, the American band that was quick to incorporate industrial sounds into groove metal and has led the scene with their unique musicality.
Featured on their classic May 1996 release Rude Awakening, this track turns up the tension with an ensemble where cold, mechanical sequences clash with raw, heavy guitar riffs.
The sound seems to capture the shock of being forcibly awakened from society’s deceptions, stirring a rebellious spirit within the listener.
Peaking at No.
82 on the UK charts, this song is a must-hear metal tune that lets you experience both the stark, inorganic texture unique to industrial metal and the searing groove at metal’s core.
Rock the CasbahThe Clash
Transcending the bounds of punk and incorporating reggae and funk into their sound, the Clash from the UK were hailed as “the only band that matters.” Among their many classic tracks, there’s one song that stands out for its distinctly poppy, danceable appeal.
It tells a thrilling story: even if those in power ban rock music, the people refuse to bow down and keep on dancing—sung over a funky bassline and sprightly piano.
Wrapping rebellious spirit in humor is so quintessentially them.
Released as a single in June 1982 and included on the seminal album Combat Rock, the track was heavily boosted by MTV and became the band’s only Top 10 hit in the United States.
Its unarguable, body-moving groove is guaranteed to take any party night to the next level.
