'I, Scvlptor' is the upcoming record from Black metal group, Behemoth, and is scheduled for release on September 4.

Here at Revolver, we re always on the hunt for new songs to bang our heads to — indeed, it s a big part of our jobs. With that in mind, here are the tracks released this week in gothic metalcore, blackened death metal, straight-edge hardcore and more that have been on heavy rotation at Revolver HQ. For your listening pleasure, we ve also compiled the songs in an ever-evolving Spotify playlist. Allt Omertà Though the rules of “Omertà” suggest we not run our mouths about Allt’s latest killer track too much, we’re shouting it out loud that the Swedish unit once again bring it big. Shots are fired from the jump, with cannon-blast kick work and 12-gauge riffage pumping beneath Robin Malmgren s beastliest proclamations. That said, the singer also flaps his gums with triplet-spat, near-rap-styled accents and a briefly crooned break. Interestingly, this continues Allt’s current trend of naming their singles after huge-ass metal anthems. They went post-Sabbath with this spring’s “Snowblind” single, and “Omertà” shares its name with a Lamb of God classic. Talk about setting the bar high. Behemoth I, Scvlptor “I am the hammer and thou art the stone.” Nergal has described the title track of Behemoth’s upcoming album, I, Scvlptor, as “a metaphor for the endless process of shaping oneself.” When it comes to the sound of the song itself, he and the rest of the extreme-metal outfit shape the clay with dread-stirring symphonic ambiance, austerely gloom-swung heaviness and a backend bedlam of bee-buzzing guitar trills. Not a reinvention, but rather Behemoth contorting blackened death-metal sounds with a master’s touch. Brand of Sacrifice Seeing Red “I am the embodiment of hate.” Despite Kyle Anderson’s gargantuanly guttural admission on Brand of Sacrfice’s “Seeing Red” — the first piece of new music from the Canadian outfit since 2023 — fans of the long-running deathcore group will find plenty to love on this latest track. It’s super meta, lyrically alluding to not only 2018 album The Interstice LP but the band itself (“The Brand it bleeds”), and threads the needle with terror-thrashed expulsions, head-crushing breakdowns and dynamic unease. Motionless in White R.I.P. Feat. Skylar Grey We must pay our respects to the third and latest preview of Motionless in White’s forthcoming Decades album. While May s eye-gouging “Playing God” single with Corey Taylor was a brutal beatdown, Chris Motionless’ “R.I.P.” duet with vocalist Skylar Grey suggests that the “darkest places” of MIW’s sound can also be balladic. A tragi-rocking goth-metal love song scented with grave soil, candlewax and regret, it’s a potent heartbreaker on par with past Motionless fan faves like Eternally Yours and Another Life. No Cure Slowly Turning Blue On a pure aesthetic level, Alabaman straight-edge hardcore force No Cure put on a ruthless display with “Slowly Turning Blue,” absolutely pinchmaxxing harmonic tension out of the piece with their B.C. Rich guitars. What’s even heavier are the song’s lyrics reflecting the ongoing opioid epidemic, vocalist Blaythe Steuer steering himself through lines reflecting addiction struggles, O.D.’s and the horror of potentially finding a loved one “slowly turning blue” after a relapse. thrown rehearsed Early into the noise-spiraling, one-note mosh verse of thrown’s new single “rehearsed, vocalist Marcus Lundqvist point-blank screams at us with unbridled fury: “What the fuck is up with that sobbing?” Our answer is that the always-stomping Swedish outfit’s utter heaviness consistently brings up the teary-eyed feels. And while Lundqvist says his “heart is like a light switch,” we can’t turn off the emotions this one’s stirring up. Beautiful, really. On top of the song’s 1,000-ton bench-press of a groove, we’re also going to shout out the weirdo sonic accoutrement of what sounds like a plastic pool noodle whirly-birding itself from speaker-to-speaker.

The Dillinger Escape Plan have announced the final batch of 'Calculating Infinity' performances. Europe shows start this week, remaining US shows in October.

The gods of heavy have blessed music fans thus far into 2026. We’re only just halfway through the year, but it’s already shaping up to be another golden time for metal — one that’s provided iconic farewells and surprise hellos, bands doubling their fun with a pair of blistering LPs, and the announcement of many mega-anticipated releases. To highlight what’s come through the pipeline to date, we asked our readers to vote for the records that have had them banging their heads the most. They responded and ranked their faves accordingly. Lamb of God Into Oblivion Even outside of this week’s fan poll, our readers have been reminding us that they are fully down with the latest LOG release. Hell, someone pops up in our Instagram comments most Fridays to tell us that Into Oblivion’s “Blunt Force Blues” is one of the band’s best songs yet. In what you’ll see is a bit of a running theme here, Into Oblivion finds Lamb of God critiquing the global hellscape around them through a series of virulent thrashers and groove-heavy smashers. It’s filthy, to be sure, but it’s clear that lots of metalheads were ready for a baaaad case of “Sepsis.” Periphery A Pale White Dot There are actually 12 dots on the cover of Periphery’s latest album, some paler than others. Nevertheless, the presentation of the progressive force’s eighth studio album makes our readers blush — whether the act are vaulting between the derelict, djent-pressed heaviness of “Mr. God” and more melodic anthems like “Heaven on High,” or mixing ambient synth washes with extreme blasts on “Obsession.” The collabs with Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos and Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo clearly had the fans clapping, too. Converge Love Is Not Enough (or) Hum of Hurt What’s better than getting one Converge album in 2026? Getting two, of course! This year saw the Massachusetts metalcore veterans deliver both Love Is Not Enough and Hum of Hurt in just under four months, and our heads are still swimming over all that heaviness. Indeed, Revolver readers couldn t pick one album over the one. While there are exceptions to the rule, the first part is perhaps a touch faster, while Hum gets a little groovier and weirder. And while Jacob Bannon poses that “it only gets worse” on the latter — at least on a narrative level — it’s truly a great and prosperous time to be a Converge fan. Neurosis An Undying Love for a Burning World One of the wildest surprise announcements to come this year was the return of psych-sludge greats Neurosis, who dropped a whole damn album on us this spring completely out of nowhere. What’s more, the lineup has evolved to now include Isis and Sumac vocalist-guitarist Aaron Turner, and he is a seamless fit. Indeed, the NeurIsis connection is complete. From the overstimulation of the announcement itself, to the actual sonic heft of the record’s gargantuan grooves and gorgeous layering, it’s a lot to take in. Yet Neurosis’ return filled out hearts with joy. The world is both literally and metaphorically burning around us, but metal fans’ love of Neurosis is unwavering. Evanescence Sanctuary No surprise here: Revolver readers found solace within the strains of Evanescence’s stunning and much-anticipated sixth full-length, Sanctuary. Amy Lee and Co. laid the bait last year with the booming single “Afterlife and continued to reel listeners in with their massively anthemic “Who Will You Follow.” For those who love the group s emotionally towering choruses, nu-brooded dynamics and Lee’s unwaveringly mighty vibrato, the rest of the record delivers just as big. And it s been rapturously received by the fandom, to say the least. Early in the record, Lee asks someone to “tell me when you’ve had enough.” Given the myriad votes cast for Sanctuary, there’s an infinitude of spins to go before we reach our limit.
