We’re back with another installment of 7 Rock songs you need to hear right now and November’s picks are songs you’re going to want to listen to loud.

From veteran rockers, to bands we haven’t heard from in some time, and newcomers that have burst onto the scene, here are 7 Rock songs that need to be added to your playlist right now.

Mastodon - Teardrinker

“Teardrinker” marks the first single from Mastodon’s recently released ninth studio album Hushed and Grim and features an insanely cool music video that you could play on loop for hours.

Slash - The River is Rising

Slash and Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators returned with their first new music since 2018 and it was well worth the wait. Recording the band as if they were in the live setting, “The River is Rising” draws from the sheer power of seeing the band up close in the front row.

Volbeat - Shotgun Blues

This is one of those songs where the second the opening guitar riff starts, it serves as an instant jolt of energy that runs through your body. “Shotgun Blues” comes from Volbeat’s latest record Servant of the Mind.

Jack White – Takin Me Back

Jack White is back with his first new solo material in four years and it’s as rocking as ever. The release of his new song “Taking Me Back” is also accompanied by a gentler version of the track, appropriately titled “Taking Me Back (Gently).”

Giovannie and the Hired Guns – Ramon Ayala

“Ramon Ayala” is that infectious new song you’ve been searching for. You know, the one you’ll constantly have on repeat for the next month. Giovannie & The Hired Guns offer a fresh take on that vintage early 2000s Rock sound that you’ll fall in love with from the get go.

Corey Taylor – HWY 666

Corey Taylor’s devilish single “HWY 666” builds and builds and builds before reaching a headbanging crescendo that’s best experienced at full volume. Oh yeah, the animated music video is one you’ll have to watch as well.

Candlebox – All Down Hill From Here

It’s a foot stomper, a headbanger, whatever you want to use to classify it, Candlebox get in the groove on their new single “All Down Hill From Here.”
