Here we go. The moment you’ve all been kinda, sorta waiting for: THE NOISE’S TOP 30 ALBUMS OF 2025.
Now remember, art is never a contest. Music is subjective. However, the art of making an album of the year list? You bet your ass that shit is competitive and we’re confident we have compiled one of the best AOTY lists you’ll see.
We have hardcore, deathcore, metalcore, pop-punk, emo, rock, alternative, some stuff that doesn’t really fit into a genre. We have it all.
So if you think we missed something, try again. And if you REALLY think we missed something, comment it below and we’ll have a reasonable discussion with you — maybe, if we feel like it.
Thanks for a great 2025. Here’s to more of the same in 2026 🖤

After stirring up plenty of buzz with their previous single “Free” Ohio noisemakers Beartooth and back with yet another new track bound to get fans talking.
Taken from their newly announced album of the same name, “Pure Ecstasy” is a heavy tone setter co-written by some scene heavyweights.
“Song one is always a crucial part of an album to me,” explains frontman Caleb Shomo. “It’s gotta lock you into the vibe out of the gate.”
“‘Pure Ecstasy’ was birthed in a studio with Misha Mansoor,” says Shomo, “ridiculous loudspeakers, and the dumbest heaviest chugs we could chug. Once it was brought home and expanded on with Jordan Fish, there was no question it was the album opener. Play loud and kick ass.”
Beartooth’s sixth studio album ‘Pure Ecstasy’ will hit stores August 28th via Fearless Records.
Tracklist:
01. Pure Ecstasy
02. Eyes Closed
03. Bullshit
04. Beautiful Again
05. Stadiums
06. Free
07. Sorry
08. Lose You To Find Me
09. You
10. For Me By Me
11. I Made It
