It’s the first Friday of October and the new releases are coming in heavy and loud on Oct. 3, 2025.
AFI channels its signature dark energy into “Shadows Within.”
Thrice continues to redefine post-hardcore with “The Horizon Line.”
British indie rockers Lovejoy drop their highly anticipated full-length “Songs From the Fire Escape.”
Nashville punks Snõõper crank out chaotic fun on “Static World.”
Lastly, Molly Nilsson returns with “Forever and a Day,” weaving synth-pop into her timeless nocturnal soundscape.
As always, all the releases for Friday, October 3, 2025, are below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
