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.

Wildhearts Sweetest song[/url] check out "The Wildhearts" with a huge back catalogue, probably the best band you've never heard of?

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 [i]is[/i] 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.

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.

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

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 🙂

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:

[url= https://wilderun.bandcamp.com/album/sleep-at-the-edge-of-the-earth ]Wilderun - Sleep at the Edge of the Earth[/url]

Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way of ORWarriOR

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.

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

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

Lamb of God

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!

Ah, each to their own - I like the old stuff but prefer the latter. Funnily enough saw 'em about 10 yrs ago - actually went to see the support (Lacuna Coil) - but didn't really get on with much of their stuff til I started listening to Come Clarity.

>I'm a jaded old fart at 33!

I've got another 20 years on you and I'm still finding stuff
I like from time to time 😀

Gojira. New album this year is brilliant. And not new, but if you haven't checked them out Lamb of God and Opeth are both great in different ways.

Volbeat- maybe not heavy enough for you, but they are a bit different and good live.

Disturbed
Soil
Machine head
Clutch
Raging speed horn

All superb

Though you just can't beat oldskool Motorhead

I used to really love me a Bristol based band called One Dice. They have only put out one album but it's bloody ace this if a tad short.

Shadows Fall are another quality band with quite an old school sound.

I really like Come Clarity, Soundtrack to Your Escape etc but just can't get on with the last album. Can't put my finger on why because I'm not against bands evolving.

Clayman is bloody brilliant though.

Caladan Brood now purchased, that is a whole new genre to me. Like an easier to listen to Cradle.

Metal is such massive genre these days so I'll suggest a few for variety

For Djent
Periphery
Tesseract

More Rock then I'd look at Alter Bridge, tending to metal look at Tremonti

Devil Driver are well worth look if groove metal's your thing

Fear factory for a bit of industrial metal

Bit of melodic death metal checkout Amon Amarth - they're the full on swords, sandals and full on viking horn

Another vote for Volbeat. And Clutch (and if you like them then Lionize and Five Horse Johnson). Orange Goblin are still about as are Skindred.

But not Raging Speedhorn. Oh dear god they were awful. Just a constant scream though I imagine it fits perfectly with Corby. And not particularly new, Kerrap were creaming themselves over them over 15 years ago whilst I was still at school... In fact a lot of the suggestions aren't really that new. Maybe I've missed out on less than I thought.

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.

Opium or Decade (Studio 24)? Or the Craphouse if you were on the other coast? Seems to mirror my experiences.

Abhor Volbeat.

If you're looking for British Sludge/Stoner/Doom, and let's face it who isn't, then check out Slabdragger - riff after sludgeadelic riff. Love em.

The new Gojira album, while certainly a lot less heavy and aggressive than their previous releases is a work of art imo.

If you've Spotify then the best way I've found to find new music is via their curated playlists as well as user playlists.

Blimey I saw Bad Religion at the Electric Ballroom in the late eighties (88?), they were considered to be veterans back then.
