Which upcoming new metal albums could define the sound of 2025? In this episode of the Primordial Radio Podcast, Dews and Moose explore five new metal albums set to define the heavy music landscape in 2025.
They kick things off with Killswitch Engage’s highly anticipated album, This Consequence – their first release in six years. Having already had the chance to hear it, Dews and Moose break down how it captures the turbulence of recent years and why it could become one of the most impactful records of the year.
The conversation then shifts to Architects and their upcoming album, The Sky, The Earth, and All Between. With 11 studio albums to their name, the guys take a closer look at the band’s journey, questioning if this could finally be the release that propels them to arena-headliner status.
