Albums You May Have Missed So Far in 2026
We’re just getting into September, and the sheer amount of music that has been released this year is already mountainous. From pop-rock to metalcore, to alternative folk and that something a little darker, there’s definitely something for everyone, and you never know, it might have just missed your radar! Here’s some below:
Electric Callboy - Tanzeid
Electric Callboy’s 7th album Tanzeid is a neon-charged fusion of metal core, EDM and cheeky pop-infused chaos, filled with high energy tracks and collaborations such as RATATATA with Babymetal and Let The Good Times Roll with The Offspring, plus their pounding cover of Sum 41’s Still Waiting. It successfully delivers a loud and playful bash of dance-floor havoc.
URNE - Setting Fire To The Sky
This album is an intense blend of sludge, progressive metal and post-metal melancholy, built around huge muscular riffs and emotionally scorched storytelling - a slow yet intense burning display that shows Urne at their most ambitious and expressive.
As Everything Unfolds - DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?
As Everything Unfolds’ third full length album is a forceful combination of nostalgia, ambition and sorrow. Following the heartbreaking loss of the band's drummer and vocalist Charlie Rolfe's partner, Jamie Gowers, in 2024, the band decided to transform their grief into creativity in the studio. They even included Gowers's original demo drum tracks in their new music. They've crafted an captivating fusion of metalcore and EDM, incorporating classic rock riffs and melodies to elevate a sound they've already mastered.
fLORENCE bLACK - pouring rain
This album is a water-tight, hard-hitting mix of solid riff-driven power, emotional weight and strong raw vocals. It gives the listener both an anthemic and intimate feel, capturing the band’s knack for thunderous hooks and cathartic lyrics. Florence Black seem to be at their most confident and evolved, and this album highlights that so in every single track.
The Scratch - Pull Like A Dog
This is a savage burst of acoustic punk energy, folk swagger and bare percussive anarchy, channelling sweat-soaked pit energy with gang shouted vocals and wild, celebratory storytelling. It’s a defiant DIY spirited album, not ready to back down anytime soon.
mOTIONLESS iN wHITE - dECADES
The American aces new album Decades is a commanding celebration of the bands evolution, delivering sharp blends of industrial and gothic dramas with their well known metalcore intensity that feels both nostalgic and newly revitalised, wile still carrying the bands unmistakable theatrical edge.
Marmozets - CO.WAR.DICE
This alum erupts with the bands trademark mix of volatile alt-rock energy and fearless experimentation. It’s high energy, feral and restless. With this being their first release since 2018, no wonder they were itching to create at such intensity!
Muse - The Wow! Signal
Muse’s newest release is a high-concept epic, distilling the band’s trademark theatricality and razor sharp alt-rock power, while still capturing almost whimsical sci-fi like aspects and cosmic details. This takes us on an experience, both visually and audio wise in typical Muse explosive fashion.
