English term or phrase: band's past headbanging chuggers
Indeed, advance single “Enter Sandman” would deliver on this promise of locked-down song. Lovers of the band’s past headbanging chuggers, most notably “Escape” and “Seek & Destroy,” instantly attached themselves to the strangely anthemic new song—anthemic, but verging uneasily toward nursery rhyme—while those plagued by even doomier dispositions, patrons of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Thing That Should Not Be,” found dark solace in the Sabbatarian trundle of “Sad but True” and “Don’t Tread on Me.”

Explanation:
I interpret "handbanging" as loud and "chuggers" as describing the chugging of a train - heavy, driving rhythm.
