This week's new heavy metal releases include a haunting blend of blues riffs and evil piano madness, along with plenty of shredding.

Steve Blanco, bassist/keyboardist/vocalist for Imperial Triumphant, has released his solo album 'Shadow Arc Suite' via self-release.

The album starts off in an oddly chaotic way, featuring wild drums and even wilder piano work.

Nili Brosh has unleashed her fourth record, a shred-filled offering that showcases her technical guitar skills.

This release marks a return to her own project after years of shredding with Dethklok and Danny Elfman.

The album also features cameos from Pete Griffin, Brendon Small, Ilan Rubin on Foo Fighters, and more.

Meanwhile, Fabienne is taking center stage with her self-released debut 'Starveil', a folk/symphonic metal offering that blends proggy and symphonic elements with pop-infused hooks.

As one of Eluveitie's vocalists and harpists, Fabienne has proven herself to be a standout in the folk collective.

Lamb of God has released their twelfth album, another solid addition to their discography.

The album tackles the world around us, delivering sonic punches that are unsurprisingly angry.

The grooves here are infectious, with heads bound to bang...

or at least bob along.

Finally, Monstrosity has unleashed its latest offering after an eight-year hiatus.

The Florida-based technical death metal outfit features a new lineup, including original bassist Mark van Erp returning to the band.

The album is unrelenting and driving, delivering on their promise of sonic chaos.

Wrapping up this week's releases is an occult/heavy metal EP from Heavy Psych Sounds featuring bowl-packing psych rock riffs.
