Love that Traveler t-shirt, Bryce. That’s a great band. I’ve been a metal fan for 25 years and I never understood those people complaining there aren’t good new bands anymore. The truth is the opposite: there are a lot of great bands out there, and it’s actually difficult to keep up with them.
Once again, you give me more music to listen to. Thanks for doing this Bryce; so important for us metalheads to know about these bands! Sick of people saying there's no good music anymore; there is, they just don't care to look for it! It's crucial that fans support these bands and keep metal alive so that young people like you and me can enjoy new metal in the future. Some of my favourites (some of them formed a little bit before 2017 I'm afraid) are Zig Zags (Motorhead and Black Sabbath in a blender), Iron Lamb (heavy Motorhead influence), Knife (black n roll but a little harsher), Havok, Vulture, Magic Circle (brilliant Sabbath-esque band) , Black Leather (BRILLIANT band, cross between Motorhead and black n roll), Midas (majestic traditional heavy metal), Acid Mammoth (ultra-heavy doom. These guys love Master of Reality), Bullet (AC/DC + Judas Priest), Skull Fist, Tau Cross (formed by Rob Miller of Amebix, a band that was instrumental in influencing black metal), and Asomvel (Motorhead reincarnated).
Riot City & Traveler would definitely be in my top 5 as well, also Mystik from Sweden (Heavy Metal/ Speed), Sijjin from Germany (Death Metal), Hadopelagyal also from Germany (Black Metal), Century from Sweden (Hard Rock), & Bygone (Hard Rock). The 2 last bands have not yet released an album yet, but I still think they’re worth mentioning. You can check out their demos on RUclips or Bandcamp.
Hey man, love your channel. Our musical tastes are a little different but still cool to hear about new bands. Wraith was amazing, glad you let us know about them. One band I think you should also check out is Plague Years. They’re relatively new, I think the first album was 2018.
Solid picks Bryce. Also a nice range between Trad, Thrash and Black. So many great newer bands around it annoys the shit out of me when people flat out deny that anything good in Metal is coming out these days. Sure a lot of them haven't forged their own total original sound yet but the songwriting, heart, musicianship and potential is there in spades. I'd also suggest STALKER, MIDNIGHT DICE, SMOULDER, MORBIFIC, ANGEL SWORD and SABIRE. \m/
I've been saying the same thing bro! There's SO many great new bands! Just sucks that it's so damn expensive for them to tour and produce records nowadays!
Hellripper and Wraith are in my favorite new bands list as well. Love that blend of black, speed, and thrash metal! I've also been really digging Killing with their 2021 debut album Face the Madness.
Check out Bastet, Hellsmoke, Traitors Gate, Gorebag, Warbreath, Carro Bomba, and Savage Master. I grew up when it all began in the late 60’s. Also a well knowledgeable in the metal world
Eternal Champion - Epic metal from Texas is my number one, also checkout Lightbringer of Sweeden and Satans Fall. Juggernaut by Satan's Fall is my favorite song of the last few years, just rips!!!
Awesome list just as I expected, Bryce, and pumped I've got 5 new bands to check out now. I agree Hellripper rules. Another good new band is I AM from Texas. They have three albums, their first full length was 2017's Life Through Torment, followed by Hard 2 Kill, and now their best one yet Eternal Steel with some great cover art as well. Very much in the Power Trip vein.
I just found out about Wraith last week, I have been listening to their Undo the Chains album nonstop. Thanks for the Skull Fist Ride the Beast recommendation, great stuff!
Excellent stuff Bryce some really cool picks and covering a wide range of sub genres My picks Tomb mold Baest Carnation The suffering hour The night eternal Hazzerd (victimize the innocent ep came in 2014) Hyperdontia Ghastly Nite Traveler
This is definitely a great list Bryce ! Please don't forget to talk about LIK. In my view they are the greatest swedish death metal band since the releases of "Clandestine" and "Indecent and Obscene".
The Danish band Iotunn is well worth your time investment to check out. Their debut album Access All Worlds is a masterful concept album in the Prog/Prog Death/Metal sound. They are a VERY promising young Heavy Metal band who are going to go places. Metal Blade Records.
If u are feeling like getting out we can maybe find a Ironflame show and go! Just a trip to PA. Pittsburgh area.I think u need an Ironflame show review. yes\m/
Very cool list! So many of these I've never heard of. Definitely gonna dig into Traveler! I'd used Wraith as my fantasy future band name for years in high school and beyond! I was a little too late getting that one off the ground before some group of square jawed, corn fed fellas from goddamn Indiana steal it out from under my nose... Totally not bitter or anything. Totally gonna give them more of a listen also! I gotta agree with Hellripper being #1. My favorite random discovery early in the pandemic year, just googling "Scottish Thrash Metal" led me to the venom spewing monster that is Coagulating Darkness! It's snarling and ferocious and I love every second of it.
Hey my man I came here to tell you thank you. I discovered shotgun messiah thanks to you ( unrelated to this video but had to catch your attention ). I've been rocking non stop and can't believe I didn't know about them. Thanks a lot bud As a small token of appreciation I'll invite you to try a great canadian band: Helix. No rest for the wicked album is their best in my opinion. Hope you enjoy if you didn't already know them lol
Heres 7 i thought of: Iotunn - came out with a great debut last year Stormkeep - another that debuted last year Gaerea - Just came out with a release An Abstract Illusion - Another who just released a phenomenal album Gudsforladt - pretty underground, surprised me White Ward - One of the more well known new bands Unto Others - Saw on this channel
White Ward is one of my favorites! Great list! I do think they fall a little outside of the 5 year mark, but any mention of them is a good mention as far as I’m concerned!
The Halo Effect (former members of 'In Flames'), Blackbraid (Native American Black Metal), Dungeon Serpent (Melodic DM from Canada), Mortuous (USDM), Frozen Crown (Power Metal from Italy).
All I know is that when it comes to blackened speed metal thrash Hellripper owns everyone trying to do the same right now and I believe a new album is in the works. The last two full lengths and ep were loads of fun
Wraith are excellent. I accidentally got two copies of their latest vinyl(hit me up if someone wants it). Enforced is also killer. Killgrid was one of the best albums last year. Traveler are also very cool. Hellripper is also really cool. I've got the Black Arts & Alchemy vinyl. #6, all female black metal?? I must check that out. You're giving me a couple of nice BM bands to check out, thanks for that. I've gotta think about some to offer you. The 2017 cutoff may be an issue, but I'm always looking into bandcamp, chatting with my buds in metal twitter and IG. I must have something for ya.
Great list man! IRONFLAME rules! great pick. If u ever give me a post office box, I have some goodies for u! Keep up the great work my metal brother! \m/
Just an old metalhead in Oregon here. I have discovered many great bands from your suggestions and love your vids. Thank you!!! Check out Undoctrinate, I really think you will like them. Keep rockin' !!🤘🤘🤘
We as metalheads need to stop calling bands from 2000 onwards "modern". That was 22 years ago man, we need to shift that year number to atleast 2010-2013 ish.
Great list! Some of these bands I´ve got to check out for sure. Asagraum, Hulder and Hellripper fucking slays! If you haven´t heard of Wormwood, Night Crowned and Nordjevel, check them out ASAP! First two are melodic BM from Sweden and the third is killer BM from Norway. Dødsfall as an honorable mention. Also from Norway.
Great picks 🤘 standouts for me on your list are Wraith, Enforced and Hellripper killer bands , Enforced hit #7 and Wraith #2 on my year end list last year , if you want some killer thrash for a new band check out thrashers from my home city Toronto Canada Called Korrosive , debut full length last year with second album due out within the next month 🤘
God, so good to see love for Wraith! Check out Black Leather, Knife, and Road Pigs if you want some more of that sweet blackened-speed! (Road Pigs is more blackened crust. With Mad Max lyrics)
Hey Bryce you like Gatecreeper? Their full length debut came out in 2016. Nice new death metal bringing back the old school sound, been one of my favorites lately
Should have gone with 2016 and then you could have included Seven Sisters and Wytch Hazel in there. 😊 2017 also saw the debut of Haunt to add another great Trad band. Top choices from you overall and a couple I’ll need to check out. Baltimore Hardcore band End It released their debut EP just this year. The absolute bomb if you ask me too.
my top 10 . nahemia raw old school black metal band from Poland. 2 . ghosts of Atlantis underground symphonic blackened death metal band from Colchester Essex England United Kingdom . 3 . regicide underground old school thrash metal band from Colchester Essex England United Kingdom. 4 . under the oak underground old school thrash metal band from sarpsborg Norway features ex Ragnarok guitarist thomas hansen aka balvork . 5 . hulder . 6 . existentialist underground brutal death metal/ blackened death metal band from Colchester Essex England United Kingdom . 7 . consecration underground old school death doom metal band from Norwich England United Kingdom. 8 . Kaine underground old school traditional heavy metal band from Colchester Essex England United Kingdom. 9 . beyond extinction underground technical death metal band from southend Essex England United Kingdom . 10 . burning witches . 11 . shrapnel underground old school thrash metal band from Norwich England United Kingdom
Riot City, Night Demon and Traveler would be my top 3. I have the new Riot City ordered. Also had tix for Haunt/Screamer/Traveler/Saber the night before Hell's Heroes but someone in Haunt got sick and they canceled the whole show. It was a bummer.
it's fucking hilarious that you put Unto Others on the last honorable mention sticker ... they're more creative and original then all the aforementioned band combined ...
I also commented before getting to #1, but Hellripper, after their next album especially, will be my favorite metal band, surpassing Metallica. All Hail the F*cking Goat
Jason from Wraith here, thanks for the support! We are in great company here and appreciate making the cut!
I'm 49 and have old school metal taste but there's a resurgence of classic sounding metal bands that really gets me chuffed.
Can’t argue with your #1 , that’s my pick all day long 🐐 All hail the goat ! New Riot City is great too !
Love that Traveler t-shirt, Bryce. That’s a great band. I’ve been a metal fan for 25 years and I never understood those people complaining there aren’t good new bands anymore. The truth is the opposite: there are a lot of great bands out there, and it’s actually difficult to keep up with them.

👍🏻💯
Before I even watch all of this, I love that you're doing this. So many people have no clue how to look for new stuff. Excellent job brutha.
Riot City & Traveler would definitely be in my top 5 as well, also Mystik from Sweden (Heavy Metal/ Speed), Sijjin from Germany (Death Metal), Hadopelagyal also from Germany (Black Metal), Century from Sweden (Hard Rock), & Bygone (Hard Rock).

I've been saying the same thing bro! There's SO many great new bands! Just sucks that it's so damn expensive for them to tour and produce records nowadays!
Midnight Dice is great. Waiting on some new material.
Great Job Bryce, I’m a 56yr old Thrash/Metal fan & the new Metal/Thrash Bands sound AWESOME 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hellripper and Wraith are in my favorite new bands list as well. Love that blend of black, speed, and thrash metal! I've also been really digging Killing with their 2021 debut album Face the Madness.

Great list Bryce! Haven't heard of too many of these bands but currently digging Traveler a lot! So thanks for that one 🤘
Thanks Bryce. Just beginning to explore your channel. I will be back on a regular basis. Looking forward to digging deeper on your picks here!
I just saw Asagraum live in Netherlands absolutely fantastic band
Enforced, Hulder, Këkht Aräkh, and Wraith; man you hit on all the newer bands that have become staples on my rotation. Great list buddy.
Enforced and Wraith are fucking sick. 💪🔥
Awesome list just as I expected, Bryce, and pumped I've got 5 new bands to check out now. I agree Hellripper rules. Another good new band is I AM from Texas. They have three albums, their first full length was 2017's Life Through Torment, followed by Hard 2 Kill, and now their best one yet Eternal Steel with some great cover art as well.

Excellent stuff Bryce some really cool picks and covering a wide range of sub genres
My picks
Tomb mold
Baest
Carnation
The suffering hour
The night eternal
Hazzerd (victimize the innocent ep came in 2014)
Hyperdontia
Ghastly
Nite
Traveler
👍🏻💯
Suffering Hour is AMAZING. Check out Silurian if you haven’t, it’s right up that alley
This is definitely a great list Bryce ! Please don't forget to talk about LIK. In my view they are the greatest swedish death metal band since the releases of "Clandestine" and "Indecent and Obscene".
The Danish band Iotunn is well worth your time investment to check out. Their debut album Access All Worlds is a masterful concept album in the Prog/Prog Death/Metal sound. They are a VERY promising young Heavy Metal band who are going to go places. Metal Blade Records.
Totally agree. Iotunn is amazing!
Great selections. I'd also suggest Devil's Reef if you get a chance.
Awesome list. Recently I bought the Enforded Kill grid cd. Great band. I have to check out Traveler and Rock City. Also Ironflame is amazing .
Bryce thanks as always for your continued support, we appreciate you!
Of course man! Hope to see y’all live sometime soon 💯
Some really good pics here. I would have included Sumerlands (first album was 2016 however) and Silver Talon. Really dig these bands.
Great list! Warrior Path are fantastic too (two albums since 2019: s/t and The Mad King). Give them a listen! 🤘
If u are feeling like getting out we can maybe find a Ironflame show and go! Just a trip to PA. Pittsburgh area.I think u need an Ironflame show review. yes\m/
Great vid you should rank album covers with black sabbath
Great picks as always Bryce. Thanks to introducing me to Riot City!
Not mentioning Lovebites is a sin. They debuted in 2017 and had not even one bad song
As an old metal head bassist I appreciate this. It's hard to find new metal music that's actually good.
Cant argue the list. I impressed myself and was aware of most. Keep this channel going please \m/
Very cool list! So many of these I've never heard of. Definitely gonna dig into Traveler! I'd used Wraith as my fantasy future band name for years in high school and beyond! I was a little too late getting that one off the ground before some group of square jawed, corn fed fellas from goddamn Indiana steal it out from under my nose... Totally not bitter or anything. Totally gonna give them more of a listen also! I gotta agree with Hellripper being #1. My favorite random discovery early in the pandemic year, just googling "Scottish Thrash Metal" led me to the venom spewing monster that is Coagulating Darkness!

Another “ informative show “. Keep it up BRYCE 👍💯
My top 3 would be Druid Lord, Frozen Soul, and Wraith at #1. Absolutely killer heavy stuff.
Heres 7 i thought of:
Iotunn - came out with a great debut last year
Stormkeep - another that debuted last year
Gaerea - Just came out with a release
An Abstract Illusion - Another who just released a phenomenal album
Gudsforladt - pretty underground, surprised me
White Ward - One of the more well known new bands
Unto Others - Saw on this channel
White Ward is one of my favorites! Great list! I do think they fall a little outside of the 5 year mark, but any mention of them is a good mention as far as I’m concerned!
Great list … good stuff on here that I’ll be checking out. Enforced are awesome! Thank you!
The Halo Effect (former members of 'In Flames'), Blackbraid (Native American Black Metal), Dungeon Serpent (Melodic DM from Canada), Mortuous (USDM), Frozen Crown (Power Metal from Italy).
Thanks for turning me on to Enforced!
All I know is that when it comes to blackened speed metal thrash Hellripper owns everyone trying to do the same right now and I believe a new album is in the works. The last two full lengths and ep were loads of fun
Traveler would be my #1 pick honestly. Very Iron Maiden sounding and just amazing
Great list! Really enjoyed that and completely agree with your no.1!!!
Do a uspm list...top albums, bands, etc
Could you do a new hard rock bands video? please thanks for everything you do 😁
Wraith are excellent. I accidentally got two copies of their latest vinyl(hit me up if someone wants it).
Enforced is also killer. Killgrid was one of the best albums last year.
Traveler are also very cool.
Hellripper is also really cool. I've got the Black Arts & Alchemy vinyl.
#6, all female black metal?? I must check that out. You're giving me a couple of nice BM bands to check out, thanks for that.
I've gotta think about some to offer you. The 2017 cutoff may be an issue, but I'm always looking into bandcamp, chatting with my buds in metal twitter and IG. I must have something for ya.
Great list man! IRONFLAME rules! great pick. If u ever give me a post office box, I have some goodies for u! Keep up the great work my metal brother! \m/
Been listening too cobra spell! They do sound great!
Just an old metalhead in Oregon here. I have discovered many great bands from your suggestions and love your vids. Thank you!!! Check out Undoctrinate, I really think you will like them. Keep rockin' !!🤘🤘🤘
We as metalheads need to stop calling bands from 2000 onwards "modern". That was 22 years ago man, we need to shift that year number to atleast 2010-2013 ish.
Right on ! Hellripper all the way . I need to check out some other's on your list .
New to the channel....love riot city and traveler....sumerlands and eternal champion as well....
Traveler + Riot City 😄👍
Cool I will check them out
Great pick with Wraith. Check out Great American Ghost. My album pick from them is Hatred Stems from the Seed. Crushing guitar tone.
Unto Others my #1.
Cool informative video, thanks Bryce 🤘
Great list! Some of these bands I´ve got to check out for sure. Asagraum, Hulder and Hellripper fucking slays!
If you haven´t heard of Wormwood, Night Crowned and Nordjevel, check them out ASAP! First two are melodic BM from Sweden and the third is killer BM from Norway. Dødsfall as an honorable mention. Also from Norway.
Here are a few of my favorite newer bands:
Satan's Fall
Steel Rhino
Savage Blood
Fury
Bomber
Cleanbreak
Cassius King
Heavy Sentence
I just caught a Traveler show on the weekend. Such an amazing band. They and Riot City are the heirs apparent imho
Hellripper is by far my personal favorite band
Hey buddy what’s the Asagraum and Hulder song you used???
My no.1 new heavy metal band has to be Enforcer, but it's a solid list 🤘
They’re too old to be considered for this list. Debut album can be no older than 2017… Enforcer was 2008.
Great show, production and information.
Thank you! 💯
Great picks 🤘 standouts for me on your list are Wraith, Enforced and Hellripper killer bands , Enforced hit #7 and Wraith #2 on my year end list last year , if you want some killer thrash for a new band check out thrashers from my home city Toronto Canada Called Korrosive , debut full length last year with second album due out within the next month 🤘
Hellripper is the shit. Best blackened speed metal thrash band going
God, so good to see love for Wraith! Check out Black Leather, Knife, and Road Pigs if you want some more of that sweet blackened-speed! (Road Pigs is more blackened crust. With Mad Max lyrics)
@@Nick-qf7vt Knife was a nice listen that came outta nowhere. Bütcher was also a band that had a 2020 album with a few killer tunes in a similar vein
Hey Bryce you like Gatecreeper? Their full length debut came out in 2016. Nice new death metal bringing back the old school sound, been one of my favorites lately
Yeah they’re cool, saw them at Psycho Las Vegas
Thoughts on Hammerhedd?
Great video!
Hellripper and riot city sound awesome and riot city is Canadian 😃
I've been flying the Riot City flag since "burn the night".. this new one is definitely gonna put them on the map!
i have that Riot City record…i can’t wait for another one from them
Should have gone with 2016 and then you could have included Seven Sisters and Wytch Hazel in there. 😊
2017 also saw the debut of Haunt to add another great Trad band.
Top choices from you overall and a couple I’ll need to check out.
Baltimore Hardcore band End It released their debut EP just this year. The absolute bomb if you ask me too.
Wraith is awesome band 🤘
Thank you
If you like Hulder, you should check out Vermilia and Grot. Also, Sh*tangel, Savage Necromancy and Unholy Night for your blackened/death thrash fix!
congratulations again on joining Hudson Valley Squares (SOT)
Great list Bryce!
You should check out Nite. Formed in 2018. Very melodic, sluggish metal.
I saw them live earlier this year at Hell’s Heroes

Other modern metal bands you should look up warbringer and revocation
My picks, all qualify and all have brand new releases in ‘22. Artificial Brain, Wake and Maul.
Where is Crypta?
I've been jamming the debut ep from Fugitive nonstop since the day it released. Blake writes nothing but killer Thrash.
Dude, you totally forgot Ardarith 😁🤘💥
Great list! I highly recommend the band Dorothy.
Escuela grind, Devil master and Spite are bands you should check out.
Have you ever heard a band called sabire? They have an EP that came out in 2018, really great heavy metal you should give them a listen.
Yes I know them, pretty good but not top 10 for me
Enforcer is the best for me ⛓️
Riot City, Night Demon and Traveler would be my top 3. I have the new Riot City ordered. Also had tix for Haunt/Screamer/Traveler/Saber the night before Hell's Heroes but someone in Haunt got sick and they canceled the whole show. It was a bummer.
😄👍
oops. just realized the cutoff was 2017. That leaves out Night Demon.
They still kick ass tho...
it's fucking hilarious that you put Unto Others on the last honorable mention sticker ... they're more creative and original then all the aforementioned band combined ...
Lunar Shadow from Germany are great
What about Plague Years. K heard of them yesterday 😂
Wraith is sooooooooooo good, especially live
I also commented before getting to #1, but Hellripper, after their next album especially, will be my favorite metal band, surpassing Metallica. All Hail the F*cking Goat
Seen Asagraum in DC. Great band.
Haxon would be number one on my list. Just great Prog influenced thrash
Power Paladin put out the best album this year.
