New Metal Covers 2025

"New Metal Covers 2025" is a collection of metal reinterpretations that flips familiar tracks on their heads while keeping them grounded in heavy riffs and modern production. The playlist brings together a wide range of artists transforming everything from pop staples like Britney Spears’ "...Baby One More Time" (via Artifer) and Sia's "Chandelier" (via Toehider), to rock classics like "Comfortably Numb" (Body Count and David Gilmour) and "Hey Jude" (FELICITY). There's a mix of aggressive takes, melodic reinterpretations, and theatrical arrangements that lean into metalcore, death metal, and hard rock styles.

Standouts include Bring Me The Horizon’s spin on "Wonderwall," which adds weight and texture to the acoustic original, Tulip’s synth-tinged metal renditions of chart-toppers like “Elastic Heart” and “Defying Gravity,” and Halocene and Sershen&Zaritskaya turning "Dr. Feelgood" into a sleek punch of modern metal. From the groove-heavy breakdowns of Cassyette’s “Disease” to the symphonic edge of Mortemia’s “Riders on the Storm,” the playlist covers a wide stylistic spectrum while staying rooted in metal. It's a solid pick for listeners into genre-blending and heavier covers of familiar tracks.
