If you want something to really bang your head to, Maximum the Hormone came out with a new version of their old song "Shimi", doing it with the pop group Atarashii Gakko! and it's great.  I love the original, but this is such a fun take that works perfectly with their usual mixing of styles.  I love in particular when a band re-records old stuff, especially if they are just as good, if not better than what they use to be and Maximum can still go hard.  Maximum is just an absolute favorite band of mine.

If wanting a good rock/heavy metal album, check out "Rebirth - Greatest Hits" from Old Gods of Asgard.  It's a collection of the music they've done for Alan Wake 1/2 and Control, but it all works together as like one great rock album.  Don't even have to know the games, only one song is actively talking about story stuff from the game, and that's Herald of Darkness, but even then, it's a good song to listen to on its own, I probably heard it a dozen times before I actually got around to playing Alan Wake 2 lol
