Here at Revolver, we’re always on the hunt for new songs to bang our heads to — indeed, it’s a big part of our jobs. With that in mind, here are the tracks released this week in death-metal, nu-rock, Thall&B and more that have been on heavy rotation at Revolver HQ.
For your listening pleasure, we’ve also compiled the songs in an ever-evolving Spotify playlist.
Ablation – “Lethal Abuse”
The first thirty seconds of “Lethal Abuse,” the debut single from death-metal supergroup Ablation, features the famously foul-mouthed-and-furious tirade Tom Cruise pumped into a scene in Tropic Thunder back in the Aughts. And if the choice of monologue hadn’t already laid it out clearly, the band are here to fuck us up. And to this we say, “Bring it.”
The power-play they pull is this: sporting members of Sanguisugabogg, Suffocation and more, the band rain down an ungodly assault of hyper-jacked blasts, fabulously festering death riffs and hulking gutturals from ‘Bogg man Devin Swank.
Bilmuri – “WORST PART OF YOU”
While there’s a lot to love on the country, pop and metal-flavored KINDA HARD, one of the best parts of Bilmuri’s latest LP is the anthemic “WORST PART OF YOU.”
Naturally, project founder Johnny Franck pipes into the piece while songbirding himself through more relationship drama (“I thank god you finally got away from me”), and then they bring the heavy through a mega-triplet-judded, grunt-loaded breakdown.
This is all to say, we’re ready to crank it all weekend all long.
Burial Path – “A Display of Penance”
The newest offering from Midwestern post-deathcore outfit Burial Path is a grotesquely meaty, dour and devastating display of the young band’s power.
Vocalist Maya Pobst despairingly hums, brees and bellows out of a blackened void of tremor-inducing blasts, orchestral moodiness, spoken word segues and worlds-ending 9-string proficiency.
She explains that the song is about mental health struggles, and it personifies depression as a parasite that will “eat you raw.” As for Burial Path’s performance, peep the video and watch them cook.
Evanescence – “Who Will You Follow”
This is not a drill: Evanescence are back, and they are inviting us into their Sanctuary later this spring through the release their album of the same name. But ahead of the full LP, they’ve slaked fans’ thirst with a devotion-questioning anthem called “Who Will You Follow.”
The band ebb-and-flow between serene piano motifs and bruised-orange nu-rock riff-outs, Lee likewise raising herself from gently-whispered musings towards a skies-splitting vibrato as she reflects on the “crack in the Matrix” altering our realities.
To paraphrase one of Lee’s many heart-pounding vocal moments, we’re dying for the rest of Sanctuary be released.
sace6 – “allured”
Another enticing entry in sace6’s developing songbook, “allured” definitely hits all the sweet spots. Between sace’s ever-vulnerable vibrato and guitarist-vocalist Noah Thomas’ frisson of swoon-coded chugs and effects-obliterated transmissions, the duo continue to develop a Thall&B sound that impossibly splits the difference between Bad Omens, Mirar and the Weeknd.
As the project builds up towards the upcoming release of debut LP brutalist, and with a North American tour opening up for Dayseeker just weeks away, it’s only becoming clearer and clearer that sace6 have become one of the standout rising acts of 2026.
Vana – “In Your Name”
Auckland, New Zealand’s Vana is one of the artists both we and our readers are determined to keep a keen eye on this year, which is convenient since she begins a North American tour next week. And it seems she’s bringing a brand-new boom-tune with her, the recently debuted “In Your Name.”
Vana goes ultra-dramatic on this latest brooding anthem, which comes consecrated in religious allegory and ghoulish romanticism (“I’d dig up your grave for a chance to kiss you goodbye”).
She said at the top of the year that she wants to “bring back catchy choruses,” yet still manages to pivot between earworm vocals and phlegm-heaving “bleghs.”
