Welcome to Heavy Rotation, the monthly playlist, of the best, Metal-Hard Rock, New Releases and Fresh Finds. Hand-picked by JE², from mainstream and underground artists.
December is the month for hidden gems when it comes to new releases. Music sites are focusing on year-end “Best Of” lists and don't focus much attention on new releases. That won't be this playlist.
Why this playlist?
- Discover New Releases, selected from a wide spectrum of Metal & Hard Rock genres, including:
• Death Metal • Hardcore • Tech Death Metal • Pirate Metal • Metalcore • Thrash • Symphonic Metal • Jazz Metal • Progressive Metal • Deathcore • Hard Rock • Screamo • Alternative Metal • Mathcore • Djent • Grindcore • Power Metal • Black Metal • Industrial Metal • Southern Metal • Doom Metal • Folk Metal - Updated on New Release Friday & throughout the week.
- Fresh Finds are amazing songs, I've found, but not released this month.
*My mix's are usually limited to one track per artist, but for this mix, I'll add multiple tracks If an artist releases more than one single, I enjoy, in the month or a single & album.
