My Favorite Tracks, Albums of 2025
Sleep Token’s “Caramel” is the New York Times song of the year. “Caramel” is nominated for a best rock song Grammy as well.
That should tell you how good 2025 was for metal and rock in general.
It’s time to reveal my favorite tracks of the year! These really aren’t in any order – I’ve just played the hell out of them over and over again. Here we go:
Ice Nine Kills – The Great Unknown (the video for this is insane too)
Dayseeker – Pale Moonlight (SiriusXM Octane’s song of the year)
Sleep Token – Emergence (nominated for a best metal song Grammy)
Aerosmith and Yungblud – My Only Angel (the surprise album that I never knew I needed)
Ghost – Lachryma (nominated for a best metal song Grammy)
Architects – Everything Ends
Guns n’ Roses – Nothin’ (just came out and totally love it)
Nothing More – House On Sand
My two favorite albums of the year are Even In Arcadia by Sleep Token and One More Time by Aerosmith and Yungblud.
