Believe it or not, we’re two full months into 2022 already. And with another month came another solid set of new rock and metal songs.
There were actually a lot of new albums, such as Eddie Vedder‘s Earthling, Korn‘s Requiem, Slash‘s 4 with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators and Avril Lavigne‘s pop-punk comeback record Love Sux.
As for new tracks, Red Hot Chili Peppers released their first new song with John Frusciante since their 2006 album Stadium Arcadium, called “Black Summer,” and confirmed the release of their upcoming album Unlimited Love. We also heard new tunes from Halestorm, Corey Taylor, Three Days Grace, Underoath, Machine Gun Kelly, Arch Enemy and more.
So, we rounded up 20 of the biggest rock and metal songs from the month and compiled them into a poll for you to choose which one you think was the best. Head below to make your selection.

We’ve got quite a bit to look forward to as we enter March. We’ll hear new albums from Sabaton, Ghost, Stabbing Westward, Brandon Boyd, 10 Years and more. Plus, we’ll probably get a few surprise songs sprinkled in throughout the month that we may not have been anticipating, so that’s always something to look forward to.
And don’t forget — daylight savings begins on March 13, and while we may lose an hour, longer and brighter days are ahead.
