This week's new heavy metal releases include thrashing prog, epic deathcore, horrible car crashes in sonic form, and more! To the metals… Abstracted brings together a diverse group of musicians to create their debut album Hiraeth.

The Brazilian quintet blends progressive elements with extreme metal, showcasing their range on tracks like "Hiraeth" and "Echoes".

A guest spot from Entheos' Chaney Crabb adds an extra layer of complexity to the album.

Dissentience's self-released EP is a heavier and darker take on prog metal.

The Bethlehem-based duo unleashes four unrelenting tracks that showcase their ability to create pummeling, heavy riffs.

Their sound is reminiscent of bands like Entheos but with a distinctly darker tone.

Exhumed's Red Asphalt is a brutal deathgrind EP that draws inspiration from the classic film of the same name.

The band's sound is nasty and unrelenting, perfect for fans of gore-obsessed metal music.

Sylosis' new album features their most melodic work to date.

Their seventh studio release is a masterclass in shredding guitar work and catchy choruses.

From the opening riffs of "The New Flesh" to the soaring vocals on tracks like "Baptize Me", Sylosis delivers another standout performance.

Wrapping up this week's releases is the blackened deathcore EP Dawn of the Iconoclast from Unique Leader Records.

The band lays waste to your eardrums with bombastic symphonic elements and intense, heavy riffs.

A reunion with drummer Leo McClain adds a new dimension to their sound.
