New Horizon is a heavy/power metal band from Sweden, formed in 2023. The band channels anthemic power metal with heavy metal foundations, adding to Sweden's storied tradition of melodic metal.
New Idea Society is a Massachusetts post-hardcore and indie rock project centered on Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Mutoid Man) and Mike Law, with origins tracing back to recordings made in Haverhill in the early 2000s. Their debut You Are Awake or Asleep appeared in 2005, followed by The World Is Bright and Lonely (2007) and Somehow Disappearing (2011), building a modest cult following through emotionally direct songwriting that sat between indie rock and experimental post-hardcore. After an eight-year hiatus, the band returned in 2019 and subsequently signed to Relapse Records for their fourth album Fire on the Hill.
New Mexican Doom Cult is a doom/stoner metal band from Gävle, Sweden, formed in 2018. Despite the name's southwestern American allusion, the band delivers crushing doom and stoner metal from the Norrland coast.
New World is a Viennese metal band formed in 2015, forging a powerful fusion of power, thrash, and groove metal. The project channels the aggressive versatility of each subgenre into a cohesive, hard-hitting sound.
New World Depression is a death metal and death 'n' roll band from Emsdetten in North Rhine-Westphalia, active since 2015. The band fuses grim death metal with groove-laden death 'n' roll from the Munsterland region.
Groove metal and hardcore collide in New World Man's bruising sound, where heavy mid-tempo riffs lock into hardcore's confrontational delivery to produce music built for maximum impact at close range. The band has been refining this blunt approach since forming in 2021.
New World Order is a heavy metal band from Paisley, Scotland, formed in 2022. The band delivers classic heavy metal from the Renfrewshire town west of Glasgow.
