1. There is a lot of AI involved, so many of these types of “new” playlists of all genres are just grabbed by AI from artists that are labeled as such by the artists themselves and what type of people listen to it 2. Artists can actually request for their music to be added to these playlists as a form of promo

I'm gonna be honest that Pency Sloe - Strangers song is a banger. Sounds like a mix of Deftones, Mastodon and Portishead. Weird mix but it somehow works, lol.

AFAIK All New Metal is just a collection of all new metal releases of that week and gets updated every friday. Spiritbox, Silent Planet and Termina were on the list when their respective songs were released. They just remove all songs from that list after a week. When you look at the most recent list, all songs were added 1 day ago.

1:55 The context/content of Levitate by Bernth is that he cut the neck off of his guitar and played it with just the body and beck, pulling the headstock changed pitches and such

Disrespecting Taake. For shame. To be fair though, Taake's peak was their first three albums in the 90s, but Taake in 2023 is still better than everything on that list.

I've always hated Spotify. Chiefly, I hate how you can spend hours curating an epic playlist and then they randomly remove tracks leaving weird phantom holes all over. Also I hate how little they pay the artists who are their bread and butter. I know it's kinda caveman but I mostly still buy either MP3's or even physical CD's (some Japanese music is hard to buy digitally) so I always have the music I want on hand even if I magically find myself somewhere with no signal.

My All New Metal list today (so one day later) on Spotify is nearly completely different, with Sylosis, Cryptopsy, StaticX, Motionless in White, Dying Fetus, Conquer Divide, so pretty good (yes imho at least) for Spotify, then goes downhill, Prong's the Descent is solidly thrashy, then THERE IS OR VERY OWN NIK with Alex Terrible on Obscurity, then downhill again with mostly prog rock, emo stuff and a few solid ones sprinkled in betwen. No Polaris tho. All in all though it's a little better I think. Are those genre-based playlist that are not 'curated for you' algorythmically still randomised between users? Cause I have almost entirely different playlist.

There was some bangars here. I really really dig Bang Bang by revnoir. And a few others that I added. I have a feeling this playlist, like many others, are just "Here is all things slightly considered metal that was released recently" which can be fine.

4:27 I’m just saying that that song has an insane breakdown at the end

I’m forced to have Apple Music and their Breaking Metal playlist has a few of the better ones from here. They love to load up the ‘core songs on theirs, alongside a lot of power metal haha. Heard the Revnoir song on it and it’s excellent

A underground metal band to check out is Chaplain from Coventry UK.. and the song Utopia.

Saw Empire State Bastard at download this year. Great show, i didn't know who thry were prior

I doubt you see this Nic, but Parti! is a band formed by the Lead Guitarist of SycAmour, one of my favorite 2010 bands.

Bro's not giving any song a chance

I am glad that at least the new songs from Insomnium and Kvelertak were on that list. Both great Bands.

I love how the metal stank just falls over your face like a veil. 😂

so sad he skipped nervosa

I haven't listened to that new Escape The Fate album yet but I will say Cheers To Goodbye ft. Spencer Charnas was an amazing song and I'm only slightly biased because Ice Nine Kills is my favorite band

The Revnoir song slaps so hard, like a mix of BMTH and Bad Omens

The fact that Taake is so damn old black metal like Immortal and it is listed in an All New Metal list just baffles me. Maybe this list is just for "new metal songs" and not for "new metal bands"? I don't know. But then again: It's still metal. Maybe not for everyone but what can I say. I hear 1914, Lorna Shore, Revenge and some other mixed stuff so... yeah. You do you.

Didn't expect Deadspace (Australia) there but I'm also not a spotify person. Almost saw them live near my hometown (Germany) in 2020 but then something happened.

Revnoir's song really goes hard af, they have some interesting riffs and mix it up a bit with electronic stuff etc.

Fiends were on this list and got skipped !! Their song keep me in the dark is a must listen !

Older Days by Resolve, Ten56, and Paleface Swiss was the only song i knew on this lol

That Empire State Bastard album is no joke! To think it's 2 of the members of Biffy Clyro going hard as fuck with Dave Lombardo on drums!

Nik if you liked Teleprompter Dreams by Fiends I’d encourage you to check out other songs of theirs. Especially a lot of tracks off of „Me Time“
