The third and final chapter of Diamond's celebrated Rick Rubin collaboration, Wild At Heart compiles ten previously unreleased songs from the 2007 Home Before Dark sessions, recently completed by Diamond. Featuring members of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, the record returns to the raw, guitar-centered minimalism of 12 Songs. "My work with Rick was a labor of love," Diamond says. A poignant close to a remarkable trilogy.

The D'Addario brothers channel the melodic extravagance of peak Brian Wilson, Todd Rundgren, and '70s glam pop into their own distinctly theatrical vision on this Captured Tracks release. Dense with harmonies, key changes, and instrumental invention, Look For Your Mind! has been called their most fully realized album yet - a credible claim given how strong the competition is.

Long Island pop-punk outfit Koyo's Pure Noise debut has already drawn comparisons to classic Saves the Day and late-period Taking Back Sunday. They write with an emotional precision that elevates them above the crowded field of emo-adjacent acts. Hooks are irresistible and performances feel urgent, helping establishing them as one of the more exciting acts in the scene.

Mike Ness brings Social Distortion back with their first studio album in over a decade, and it arrives fully loaded with the band's signature blend of punk, country, and working-class rock storytelling. Born To Kill delivers defiant, melodically hook-laden songs rooted in the tradition that runs from Johnny Cash through the Clash. Ness sounds galvanized by the years away.

The Toronto collective gathers its sprawling membership back into the communal indie rock that made You Forgot It in People essential. Messy and joyful, Remember The Humans draws across the entire extended BSS family of contributors. It sounds like a reunion that genuinely meant something to the people making it rather than an obligation.

The legendary songwriter turns the lens entirely on herself, eschewing glossy production for something raw and acoustically grounded. Perry's voice - always the undersung asset in every room she's worked in - carries the emotional weight of Let It Die Here throughout. Intensely personal and entirely on her own terms.

Fenriz and Nocturno Culto blend primitive black metal riffs with the classic heavy metal and punk influences they have openly embraced for two decades. Raw, unpolished, and wholly indifferent to trends, Pre-Historic Metal is exactly what their devoted fanbase expects: total conviction delivered with the winking self-awareness the title implies.

The Fort Worth death metal quintet solidify their position as one of the most reliable acts in modern death metal. Glacially heavy and atmospheric, No Place Of Warmth adds a new layer of songwriting confidence to the already imposing formula. Fans of Obituary, Gatecreeper, and early Bolt Thrower will find this essential.

This newly surfaced 1982 WOMAD festival recording captures Gabriel performing early solo material with Tony Levin and Jerry Marotta in superb form. The sound quality is remarkable for a 44-year-old tape, and the performances crackle with real energy. An essential document of his formative post-Genesis years and the world music movement he helped build.

The New Zealand songwriter's fifth album, co-produced with long-time collaborator John Parish at Rockfield Studios in Wales, extends her gift for elliptical, quietly theatrical folk into subtle new directions. Lead single "One Stop" builds from sparse jingle-jangle guitar into something unexpectedly direct and striking. Harpist Mali Llywelyn and drummer Sebastian Rochford add delicate textures throughout. Harding's most accessible album without being any less mysterious.

The pioneering Christian pop singer reflects on five decades with a deeply personal album built around faith, family, and resilience. Grant's voice has a weathered grace on The Me That Remains, and the stripped-back production gives her songwriting space to breathe. For long-time fans, this is a moving and intimate record from an artist still searching inward.

McBryde delivers her most creatively expansive album, pushing country music's genre boundaries without losing the straight-shooting directness that made her a critical favorite. Wild maintains the grit and authenticity of her earlier releases while stretching into more adventurous territory. Her voice remains one of the most emotionally persuasive in contemporary country, and the songwriting here is her best.
