I may have gotten a little carried away with my links below, but I guess a Sunday afternoon of bourbon and guitars and someone asking for new music sent me down the rabbit hole...
There is a lot of cool good newer music out there, but just like 1985, we got to search and dig for it. So much more I'd love to list...
I've always loved the guitars in Falconer, guitars pressed forward in your face and a tone of mids and presence:
Ghost always has some good guitars and melodies:
Volbeat always has great guitar tones:
This is not new, but early Gus G with Dream Evil is awesome:
Borknager Winter Thrice, good melodies and a touch of black metal guitars:
