- Judas Priest, "Lightning Strike" If there was any question as to whether or not Judas Priest still have their chops, “Lightning Strike” proves that even 40-plus years after their inception, the band is still at the top of their game.
- Sleep, "Giza Butler" A cheeky ode to Black Sabbath’s legendary four-stringer, “Giza Butler” is both the best song and best song title on Sleep’s 2018 record, ‘The Sciences.’
- Ghost, "Rats" There’s a certain stigma that has been attached to Ghost since they hit the scene in 2010. Despite the band’s unwavering success, they’ve been labeled “Spooky Scooby Doo Chase Music” by the naysayers who aren’t welcoming to their pageantry and whimsy.

Dead Now
Sounds Like:A futuristic musical journey powered by sludgy riffing in the style of Tony Iommi and Ritchie Blackmore. Key Lyric:“Dark dreams they take so long to shake, erase a picture and another stays/ I’ve searched for all the ways to say, think I found a way” Why It Matters: Whether you call it stoner rock, sludge metal, or whatever else, Dead Now are definitely a band to keep an eye on. Former Torche member Andrew Elstner fronts a trio that worships classic ’70s metal like Sabbath and Dee...
Disease
Sounds Like:Modern hard rock that hits you in the gut. Key Lyric:“Stuck at the surface/ Not making progress/ Falling apart/ Well I’m trying my hardest” Why It Matters: “Disease” provides an anthem for those struggling in a time when mental health issues and addiction are at the forefront of our society. While radio ready, the song takes the listener into a dark place lyrically, as Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo is not afraid to share his personal pain. —Spencer Kaufman
Eonian
Sounds Like:An occult army marching to war while seeking a greater understanding of reality and eternity. Key Lyric:“Knowing when to end a journey/ Is to recognize where it begins/ What we really seek is not here/ But on the other side of fear” Why It Matters: Dimmu Borgir’s first album in eight years is a monument of symphonic black metal, and this song might be its most epic. Masterful melodies, a shifting song structure, and plenty of head-banging opportunities make “I Am Sovereign” beauti...
A Dying Machine
Sounds Like:A tumultuous roller-coaster ride that leaves you gasping for air at the end — and wanting to go for a second ride. Key Lyric:“Draw a line painted with blood in the sand/ The only war we could never lose is at hand” Why It Matters: Tremonti’s latest disc, A Dying Machine, is a concept album that tells the tale of the turn of the next century where humans and fabricated creatures, “vessels,” are trying to co-exist. Opening track “Bringer of War” paints the picture of the war unfoldi...
To Drink from the Night Itself
Sounds Like:The closing credits of a bad-ass new Dracula movie. Key Lyric:“The anesthesia of repetition/ Let monotony and isolation reign/ Will our persistence fade like daggers?/ (Daggers) daggers of black haze” Why It Matters: “Daggers of Black Haze” is a microcosm of To Drink from the Night Itself, which is the most melodic At the Gates record since Slaughter of the Soul. Its orchestral accents perfectly set up the hook-filled heaviness that follows. —Scott Morrow
