2016 Metal Newcomers Explored, Part III
Our annual staff awards were recently announced, but each year we delve into some of the newcomers a little more in-depth to help our readers discover new metal bands. I have not been on the pulse of metal as much as in years past, but I still discovered a few new bands to enjoy in 2016. While my best-of picks were all folk metal and thrash, the newcomers I enjoyed were a little more varied, but some still falling into those categories. Here were my top five metal newcomer picks for 2016:
Huldre
I enjoy folk metal a lot and with the shakeup in Eluveitie's lineup, I was especially happy to discover another excellent folk metal alternative in Huldre, who released "Tusmørke" this year. While not officially the band's first album, until hitting bandcamp just recently it was extremely difficult to get a copy of the band's music in the States. Huldre varies things quite a bit on "Tusmørke," going from soothing folk with female vocals to heavier, chugging riffs. "Hindeham" is a decently heavy track throughout and is a good place to start, while "Underjordisk" is a bit faster paced overall.
Battlecross Kicking Off "Winter Warriors" Tour
Following a recent North American journey with Soilwork, Motor City metal legion Battlecross will close 2016 with an annual headlining run, the third installment of the "Winter Warriors" tour, which rolls from November 25th through December 17th.
This year, support for the Battlecross holiday tour will be provided by Metal Blade label mates Allegaeon and Necromancing The Stone.
In conjunction with the Veterans Ticket Foundation, the Winter Warriors Tour once again offers free admission to members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and the band will donate a portion of proceeds to local veterans' organizations in each city. Veterans are invited to register for free tickets here. More...
Battlecross Announces Third "Winter Warriors" Tour
After joining Soilwork, Unearth, Wovenwar, and Darkness Divided for a North American tour this fall, Motor City thrashers Battlecross will finish off 2016 with an annual headlining run, the third installment of the "Winter Warriors Tour."
This year, Metal Blade label-mates Allegaeon and Necromancing the Stone will join the bill as support. In conjunction with the Veterans Ticket Foundation, the trek will once again offer free admission to members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and the band will donate a portion of their proceeds to local veterans' organizations in each city.
Veterans are invited to register for free tickets at this location starting on September 23rd. General admission tickets will be available at this location the same day. More...

Necromancing The Stone Signs With Metal Blade
Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the signing of Necromancing the Stone! Featuring former and current members of Arsis, The Absence, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Brimstone Coven, Necromancing the Stone may be considered a "supergroup" or "studio project" by some, but that is not the intent of this quintet.
Upon unleashing their upcoming debut full-length in 2016 via Metal Blade, the band plans to take a unique brand of no-nonsense, traditional heavy metal out on the road. Necromancing the Stone's Jeramie Kling (drums) comments:
"It's an honor to be a part of the Metal Blade family. Together, we have crafted a release that will not only destroy an entire seaboard village by way of force, but also soothe that very hoard into a capricious trance. We have finalized the recording process and have sent our offering to the mighty James Murphy. Cannot wait to get this released and see all of you maniacs out there on the road!"
Justin Wood (guitars) adds: "Necromancing the Stone is something that we are all excited to be a part of as it gives us a creative outlet to create the kind of hook laden, riff-centric heavy metal that we want to hear more of in the world. Justin Wood and John Williams (Brimstone Coven), along with James Malone (Arsis), Ryan Williams (ex-The Black Dahlia Murder), and Jeramie Kling (The Absence, 456 other bands) swore their solemn allegiance to the cause with a blood sacrifice upon the peak of Ogre's Rock in a secret ritual veiled in danger and mystery in the summer of 2014 and came together for the recording of an online EP 'Before The Devil Knows You Are Dead.' The time has now come to batten down the hatches and set forth into the world with a purpose in our hearts and a sword in our hands. We aim to leave no stone unturned and hope to see you all out there with us blazing a path of blood and riffs." More...
