February 7 — Jinjer — Duél
Their first album in nearly four years, the Ukrainian quartet Jinjer, will release their fifth album, Duél, on February 7.

April 4 — Bleed From Within — Zenith
The Scottish shredders Bleed From Within are set to drop their fifth studio album this spring and, thus far, have remained on a consistent path leading up to the release with nothing but mega metalcore bangers. The lead single, “In Place Of Your Halo,” sets the tone in a big way with bagpipes over breakdowns, one of many tricks up their sleeves. Couple this with a support slot on the Poisoned Ascendency Tour with Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine in North America around record release. It’s the perfect storm for a huge 2025. —Patrick Walford
TBD Spring — Superheaven — Superheaven
In 2024, Superheaven released their first new music in nine years: “Long Gone” and “Numb To What Is Real.” With the release of their second new single, the group announced on social media, “Self-titled LP coming spring 2025 on Blue Grape Music.” While a solidified release date hasn’t been set, we’re eagerly awaiting the group’s new music. —Paige Owens

TBD — Motion City Soundtrack — TBA
Motion City Soundtrack will release their first album in a decade and first since their reunion this year. Working with legendary producer Sean O’Keefe (Fall Out Boy, Real Friends, The Plain White T’s) in Chicago for the first time in 20 years, the band completed the album in the fall of 2024. If their summer single “Stop Talking” is a sign of what’s to come on the new record, this could be some of the band’s best music to date. —Patrick Walford
TBD — Fit For A King — TBA
Hot off the singles “Keeping Secrets” and “Technium” in 2024 and the resounding success of 2022’s The Hell We Create, Fit For A King has picked up more steam than ever in the past couple of years. Whether it was numerous sold-out headlining tours worldwide or their first-ever amphitheater tour this summer with I Prevail and Halestorm, everything is lining up for this to be FFAK’s biggest album yet. The band headed to LA last fall to work with Daniel Braunstein (Spiritbox, Dayseeker, Volumes) for 5 weeks. Vocalist Ryan Kirby said fans will “be surprised at how it sounds” and shared this crushing teaser while in the studio in December.
TBD — The Devil Wears Prada — TBD
The Devil Wears Prada is gearing up for a massive year that will include celebrating their 20th anniversary and dropping new music. As revealed on Rock The Walls by vocalist Mike Hranica, the band has been flying out to LA for writing sessions with acclaimed producer & hometown buddy Tyler Smyth, along with other producers & songwriters. Mike described their new music as a completely new & different way of writing. If the 2024 single “Ritual” (which they wrote with Smyth) is any indication, the new TDWP record will raise the proverbial metalcore bar. —Patrick Walford
