Protekla godina je, može se reći, bila vrlo plodna kada je u pitanju težak zvuk, čak i plodnija od 2023.

Ovog puta rešili smo da ne pričamo mnogo. Umesto toga, samo smo izlistali bendove, žanrove i YouTube linkove na kojima možete preslušati albume koji su nam ove godine privukli najviše pažnje.

U predstojećoj 2025. očekuje nas gomila izdanja koja su već najavljena, a među njima su i prominentna imena kao što su Deftones, Raunchy, Sleep Token i Spiritbox. 

Godina za nama podarila nam je ozbljno buđenje gothic metala i različitih powerviolence derivata, uz albume pojedinih velikana (Opeth, High on Fire) i povratnika (Static-X, Linkin Park), a standardno su bili prisutni sludge, hardcore i death metal.

Verovatno najveći posao uradili su momci iz benda Blood Incantation, koji su osvojili vrhove većina metal top-lista i to ne bez razloga – album koji su objavili jeste vanserijski. Takođe, u fokusu su bili i Knocked Loose, koji su napravili veliki proboj zahvaljujući novom albumu i saradnji sa pevačicom Poppy u singlu Suffocate. 

Preporučujemo da na njih obratite posebnu pažnju, ali ne zaboravite ni ostala izdanja sa ove liste, pogotovo sedam domaćih izdanja. Ima tu zaista fenomenalne muzike.
