Not nu-metal, but new metal. Lost touch a bit with metal, consequently I’m a bit stuck in the past listening only to old stuff. I like this sort of thing – Pantera, Slayer, Machinehead, Entombed, Full Blown Chaos, Fear Factory, SOAD, Slipknot, Sepultura, Soulfly

What you got!? Cheers 🙂

Wolfmother. Not exactly NEW but not on your list either.
Lik a modern Australian Led Zeppelin.

The last three albums I’ve bought were the new ones from Soulfly, Wolfmother and Red Fang (who are a bit stoner rock proggy…)

Again, not exactly new but new albums at least…

Raging Speedhorn are also not new but if you don’t have any of their albums I recommend you get some! You’ll like 🙂 \m/

I’d recommend listening to Teamrock’s radio player at 11am weekdays, it’s the new music show and should help inspire.

Ladybaby

The Wildhearts Sweetest song check out “The Wildhearts” with a huge back catalogue, probably the best band you’ve never heard of?

Airbourne?

I too am stuck in the nineties metal heyday, from your lost I’d recommend checking out the couple of strapping young lad albums ‘City’ and ‘heavy as a heavy thing’.

I like this stuff lately (think it falls under the atmospheric black metal scene, or something)

judging by the lists above id say that Steel Panther are wrong – heavy metal is dead.

Ooh, on the subject of ‘atmospheric black metal’ I guess Opeth is a good shout.

Also I forgot to mention Mastodon previously.

Another 90’s metaller here, with, it would seem almost identical tastes to the Op. I’ve no objection to new metal, but I like what I like, most of which seems to be 90s!

Recently, I discovered ‘in this moment’ , but its only their last album that’s any good. They’re clearly still finding themselves.

Check out Dragonforce, Turisas or Gloryhammer. Again not new but in the classic vein

I’ve slid into screamo from similar tastes back in the 90s, depends how far you want to go in that direction. 36 Crazyfists are/were good, as were poison the well. Killswitch Engage are still going too.

Good straight up metal is hard to find these days though, maybe Down, and whatever Vinnie Paul’s current band are might be worth a look if you’re not as wet as me 😆

I’d recommend A Day To Remember to anybody though, love them.

Slayer’s latest album Repentless is pretty damn fine.
Mix of tempos and the guitar sound is awesome.

Gojira
Sulphur Aeon
Minsk
Tau Cross
Ohhms
All Pigs Must Die
Arabrot
Conan
Neurosis (old, but still putting out good music)
Municipal Waste
Iron Reagan (featuring members of Municipal Waste)
With the Dead
Subrosa
Clutch
High on Fire.

… just for starters

Loving the new Amon Amarth LP, Jomsviking. Much better than the last 2 they did. Only band at the moment that sends a shiver down my spine.

Hellsongs

(genuinely worth a listen)

Edit: let’s add a video! The Slayer covers and Paranoid are particular favourites.

If I could only recommend one recent metal album I would say ‘Blessed Black Wings’ by High on Fire.

It is amazing.

Parkway Drive, pretty awesome Australian brand and pretty new. Also vote for Red Fang, also The Sword, though that’s maybe a bit space or stoner metal for some.

Katatonia are worth checking out. New album is a corker.
Volbeat good as well. 80’s thrash meets Johnny Cash/Elvis.

sharkattack – If I could only recommend one recent metal album I would say ‘Blessed Black Wings’ by High on Fire.

It is amazing.
Its like Motorhead ramped up again though its 11 years old so I wouldn’t really call it particularly new.

From what is playing in the office..

Amon Amarth
Ghost
Clutch
Kvelertak

I’ve heard “Use the chat thread” by The Angry Cyclists is good.

I thought that album was entitled “Use the chat forum”, maybe I misheard it

Thanks for all the other replies though, plenty to check out there 🙂

Updated for anyone interested, been through a lot of the above suggestions and enjoyed some, thanks for the replies.

Have some of my own recently discovered suggestions for others to try:

Misery Index
Decapitated
Byzantine
Diskreet
The Prophecy

Sikth
Arch Enemy

Thanks for the reminder – I meant to try out some of the above suggestions and never got round to it….

In the same boat as the OP – going around all my oldies, like Pantera, Machine Head, White Zombie, Therapy?, Wildhearts, Green Day, Corrosion of Conformity, Megadeth……

This should give me something to listen to for the day, at least and hopefully find some new stuff I like.

Been trying out some of the better rated albums from the Angry Metal Guy blog and there’s some good stuff that I hadn’t heard of before, such as the following:

Wilderun – Sleep at the Edge of the Earth

Orphaned Land – The Never Ending Way of ORWarriOR
[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ7A53rRhDA[/video]

And the really rather random, yet awesome, Diablo Swing Orchestra

Now off to try out some of the other posted suggestions 🙂

In and out in less than a minute, no messing about. Shame they’ve just cancelled their European tour though.

Not so new but still sounds fresher than pretty much everything else.

I keep asking our students, where’s the good new punk and non-niche metal. As far as I can tell there isn’t any. One of them, no joke, said “Bad Religion”. Went to a metal club a while back, was pretty much the oldest person there by a decade but they were still playing stuff that was worn out when I was 18.

The Wildhearts Sweetest song check out “The Wildhearts” with a huge back catalogue, probably the best band you’ve never heard of?

Probably STW’s least new new music recommendation ever 😆 Hey, how about that new Mozart album?

Kowloon Walled City
Every Time I Die
Trap Them
Baptists
Converge still producing brilliant stuff
Sonance for slow gloomy horribleness

Some ace recommendations there people.

Off to see Airbourne tha-neet in Edinburgh. 😀

Runnin’ wild!

\m/

Hmm, some newish but mostly older and not mentioned above..generally go-to favourites:

to follow on from Twisty’s theme:
The Agonist (newish Arch Enemy vocalist was there previously, and the new Agonsit new vocalist is way more than a good match)

In Flames
Soilwork
Mercenary
Scar Symmetry
Children of Bodom
Engel (In Flames guitarist – kinda bouncy stuff, great for the gym as is BFMV)

Wovernwar (remnants of As I Lay Dying)

Amaranthe (3 vocalists, melodeth-meets-eurovision !!)
(Could add Epica, After Forever, Revamp, Lacuna Coil, November-7 for more female-fronted melodic/symphonic stuff..The Kells too for female fronted metalcore, a pity they called it a day after 2 albums)

Testament
Annihilator

Hammerfall
Sabaton
Serenity
Alestorm (yaaaarrrr!!!)
Grand Magus

Devil You know (Howard Jones’ new band…bloke from Killswitch, not the 80s 😀 )

If Dream Theater floats yer boat, but a little more metallic and less messing around 🙂 :
Symphony-X
DGM

More kinda rock/metal
Soil
Die So Fluid

Stone Sour
Five Finger Death Punch

And someone’s gotta add ’em 😉
Rammstein

I like:

Between the Buried and Me
Misery Signals
Lamb of God
All Shall Perish
Animals as Leaders
The Black Dahlia Murder

Also Deftones – not new, but still releasing great music.

And someone’s gotta add ’em
Rammstein

They don’t and they shouldn’t. Awful music. 👿

Tool
cthonic
Firewind

In Flames

Are going downhill fast! The last album I bought (Siren Charms) was an absolute turkey! However earlier stuff was good.

Devildriver are pretty good but peaked with the Last Kind Words.

Killswitch are good (I prefer them with Jesse Leech); the last album is a grower I think.

Much like the OP, I find myself listening to the same bands or buying new stuff by older bands. Whenever I chuck Scuzz of Kerrang TV on very little new stuff grabs me…I’m a jaded old fart at 33!
