The list of killer new songs we’re throwing on our 2026 playlist grows exponentially each week — and the heavy hits just keep on coming. Last week, we asked our readers to rank the five best albums that came out between January and June, and they raised their horns to honor a mix of nu-brooding anthems, post-metal comebacks and hardcore faves. Naturally, we’ve now asked them to also weigh in on the standout songs of 2026. There’s a bit of crossover, to be sure, but these were their votes for the top 5 tracks of the still-young year, ranked accordingly. Neurosis Blind It’s been plain to see that Neurosis’ surprise comeback album was something that the heavy-music community both craved and needed — that’s why An Undying Love for a Burning World placed so high in our recent album poll, coming in as our readers’ second favorite of the year so far. The thought of picking but one key juggernaut off this cohesive epic seemed a daunting task, but the fans have pointed to “Blind” as the song to beat. It’s full of brawny doom riffs, elephantine guitar bends, psychedelic noise passages and gruff, yet reflective shouts that hint at Neurosis’ long journey back to us (“Find our way through the fields we have sown”). Marilyn Manson Exit Wound Marilyn Manson fans have poured one out in honor of “Exit Wound,” the formal entry point to the shock rocker’s much-anticipated One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2. The song takes on a familiarly brooding aesthetic — think psyche-spearing guitar judding, haunted house keyboard melodies and a chorus of eerily layered “ohs” that recall “The Beautiful People.” Manson whispers and shouts of being the godforsaken one, absorbing praise and hate in one fell swoop as a pack of vultures buzz above him. That titular wound’s not healing anytime soon, per Manson. That’s good news for the fans, who keep lapping up the resultant downpour. Evanescence Rapture While Evanescence fans have clearly been loving all of the nu-rockers’ recently released Sanctuary album — they confirmed as much while ranking the release high in our poll for the Top 5 albums of 2026 so far — it’s fair to say that the song they’ve been feeling the most is “Rapture.” It’s a slow-burning, super-dramatic chunk-out featuring “Tubular Bell”-ish tones, mega-distorted guitar melancholy, gothic reprieves and a frantically glass-crashing, hard-drive-snapping collusion of noise in the breakdown. Amy Lee delivers rock-operatic catharsis while apparently drowning an emotionally-manipulative antagonist in a flood of their own tears. Biblically savage. Mastodon Your Ghost Again Mastodon made a most welcome return this spring with their first song since 2024 — and likewise since both the departure of guitarist Brent Hinds from their lineup, and his subsequent passing. It’s emotionally charged to say the least, the surviving members reflecting on the fate of their fallen friend and their own path forward, hopes and regrets swirling through an emotions-charged and astoundingly powerful performance of sludge-style groove and heartfelt progressive twistiness. Motionless in White Afraid of the Dark Revolver readers shone a spotlight on Motionless in White’s “Afraid of the Dark” this week, coronating it the best song of 2026 thus far. Informed by multiple eras of MIW — delivering both blistering metalcore aggression and a melodic, mega-anthemic chorus — this pick also features a particularly cathartic explosion from the band s frontman, Chris Motionless. This time, the MIW vocalist heads into the unknown to overcome struggles, “siphon all the power from the pain” and go supernova with fierce determination. “Afraid of the Dark” is a fist-raising anthem about perseverance, and it’s rallying folks to keep it together through 2026 and beyond.

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.

The former Dream Theater drummer made his debut with the hard rockers over the weekend.

The group is currently on the road for its World Tour, in celebration of their sixth studio album, 'Sanctuary,' which came out on June 5.

Members of Spiritbox and Nova Twins also joined them onstage.

Evanescence made Florida their sanctuary last night. For the opening date of their North American tour, Amy Lee and her band treated fans at West Palm Beach’s iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre to a night of classic songs and several live debuts from the band’s latest album, Sanctuary. The night began with opening sets from Nova Twins and Spiritbox, and then Evanescence took the stage to deliver a 21-song headlining performance. The evening was heavily slanted towards Sanctuary, which was released earlier this month. Evanescence began the night with the first-ever live performance of the title track, and then gave stage debuts to “Tell Me When You’ve Had Enough,” “Rapture,” “Self-Destruct,” “Beautiful Lie” and more. They also hit recent singles from the LP, like “Who Will You Follow?” and “Afterlife.” All told, they played the entirety of the 12-song Sanctuary. The night also featured older hits like “Bring Me to Life” and “Call Me When You’re Sober,” while Evanescence also gave The Open Door s Like You it s stage debut. Late in the set, Nova Twins and Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante hopped on-stage to help Lee sing the “Fight Like a Girl” single she released for last year’s Ballerina soundtrack. You’ll find fan-shot footage from throughout the night up above and down below. You’ll also find the setlist details down there (via setlist.fm). The tour continues tonight (June 12th) at Tampa, Florida’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre. You’ll find the fuller tour breakdown over here.

Courtney LaPlante continues to cross over into the EDM sphere. Following her on-stage appearance with Illenium earlier in the year, the Spiritbox vocalist has now popped up on a new hybrid track with L.A. DJ duo SLANDER. Dubbed “Under My Skin,” it delivers big bass drops, monster screams and more. The song hit streamers today (June 12th), and is described in a press release as a “rock-dubstep collab that has been more than three years in the making.” A statement from LaPlante finds the singer excited to finally have the finished version out in the wild, as SLANDER have been performing a demo in their live sets for a while. The cut integrates Spiritbox and SLANDER with a mix of chunkily anthemic guitar riffs, LaPlante lines both growled and sun (“I d be better off dead than to call you a friend”) and worlds-warping drops from the SLANDER folks. “Getting to work with Spiritbox on this song was such an incredible experience,” the duo said in a statement. “Their kindness, professionalism, skill, and passion was so refreshing. They gave the song so much intensity and light…bringing it to new heights that were previously unimaginable. “Also getting to watch Courtney scream in the studio is something we will never forget. The precision of her vocal performance during recording was astounding. Additionally, we gotta big up Mike [Stringer] for adding some amazing riffs and insane guitar lead lines. We are over the moon about how this collaboration turned out and how well our sounds worked together.” “Under My Skin” is streaming up above. Spiritbox just began their North American tour with Evanescence last night (June 11th). They play Tampa, Florida’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre tonight.
