Heavy Rotation Dec 16' (The Metal List)

[JESquare]

Welcome to Heavy Rotation, the monthly playlist, of the best, Metal-Hard Rock, New Releases and Fresh Finds. Hand-picked by JE², from mainstream and underground artists.

December is the month for hidden gems when it comes to new releases. Music sites are focusing on year-end “Best Of” lists and don't focus much attention on new releases. That won't be this playlist.

Why this playlist?

• Discover New Releases, selected from a wide spectrum of Metal & Hard Rock genres, including:

  • Death Metal	• Hardcore	• Tech Death Metal	• Pirate Metal
  • Metalcore	• Thrash	• Symphonic Metal	• Jazz Metal
  • Progressive Metal	• Deathcore	• Hard Rock	• Screamo
  • Alternative Metal	• Mathcore	• Djent	• Grindcore
  • Power Metal	• Black Metal	• Industrial Metal	• Southern Metal
  • Doom Metal	• Folk Metal

• Updated on New Release Friday & throughout the week.

• Fresh Finds are amazing songs, I've found, but not released this month.

*My mix's are usually limited to one track per artist, but for this mix, I'll add multiple tracks If an artist releases more than one single, I enjoy, in the month or a single & album.
