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?
• 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 |
*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.
