Release date: September 25, 2026 | Church Road Records | Bandcamp | Tidal | Spotify | Facebook | Instagram Burner are fire (pun intended) and hands down one of the gnarliest and angriest bands currently out there. Over here at Everything is Noise, we love this kind of stuff. If you’ve never heard of Burner before, we did a WFA on them and reviewed their previous album, so you can check those out for an introduction. Ever since I first heard their music, I was immediately hooked.

Release date: July 17, 2026 | Independent | Bandcamp | Tidal | Spotify | Website | Facebook | Instagram I think a short crash course is in order for whoever isn’t really acquainted with the band and needs a good sell. Protest the Hero is, basically, what happens when five Canadian nerds marry prog-metal, skate punk, and a Red Bull sponsorship and then decide music theory is a harshly judged Olympic sport.

Release date: February 19, 2026 | Pest Productions | Bandcamp I never figured I’d be reviewing a black metal band, namely DeadTrees today, given my tenuous relationship with the genre. Although it’s worth noting right away that New World is, at least by my judgement, far from what would normally constitute a black metal record. It’s more that it has some black metal elements, heavily masked, and sparsely peppered throughout.
