SIGNALS FROM MARS | JUNE 2025 ALBUMS REVIEW
We’re back with a fresh batch of riffs, reviews, and recommendations as we dive into the hard rock and metal album releases from June 2025! In this episode, Jeremy Weltman joins me once again to break down four solid weeks of new music. From well-known acts to rising names and left-field surprises, we take a critical listen and give our unfiltered opinions on what hit hard—and what missed the mark.
Every week brought something unique, and this episode includes a full track-by-track run through the month’s most talked-about (and some overlooked) releases. As always, we each selected our “Album of the Week” for each Friday drop, and there’s no shortage of debate, surprises, and contrasts in what caught our ears.
💡 But that’s not all… We also look back at the first six months of 2025, revisiting all the albums we’ve highlighted since January. If you’ve missed any episodes or need a reminder of standout releases, this mid-year check-in is a great way to catch up. There’s no clear-cut “Album of the Year” just yet—but some strong contenders are already in rotation.
