[Pietjepieter]

Changeling - Changeling (new band from Tom Fountainhead, and the singer of Alkaloid) will be released April 25 really looking forward to that, singles sounds excellent so far

Rivers of Nihil, Fallujah and Kardashev I will check out as well!

 

[Anectine_Matt]

Cytotoxin - Biographyte (11-04-25)
Coffin Feeder - Big Trouble (25-04-25)
Vildhjarta - + där sjunger under evighetens granar + (30-05-25)
Shadow Of Intent - Imperium Delirium (27-06-25)

Those are the main ones I'm excited for atm that have solid release dates, I'm sure there'll be others too though.

Not metal but pseudo-supergroup of punk Melt Away will hopefully release their second EP this year. Saw them last night, good times. Also wont be entirely shocked if i release a “demo” ep with my punk band this fall (for posterity).

 

[rokket2005]

The only album that kind of on my radar at the moment is the new Lights album. I was about half and half on Skin & Earth and thought Pep was total meh, but what I've heard of the new one is more promising. More synth driven again as opposed to a bunch of Drake beats at least.

BABYMETAL - METAL FORTH
Ghost - Skeleta
Ave Mujica - Completeness

 

[youngthrasher9]

TDIL there’s new Vildhjarta coming the day after my birthday. Sweet!

 

[syzygy]

Hopefully Good Tiger. Heard that they were closing in on being done with number 4.

 

[Trashgreen]

Dark Angel - Not sure if the whole new album is confirmed for this year
Dirkschneider & the Old Gang - Confirmed for October
Exodus - Not sure, but think they might make it for this year
Testament - Should be confirmed for this year
Paradox - New album was done last year but release keeps getting postponed according to Charly
Anthrax - Don't know if they make it for this year or they need a few more years to finish...

 

[Werecow]

Worryingly, i replied with the same answer to the 2024 thread (because it was said he was working on new material), but i'm still hoping for a new Slugdge album.

 

[ToRNOuTLaW]

Right now I am not aware of any upcoming metal releases I'm excited about.
Will definetly give the new Vildhjarta a few spins.

 

[Gwdion]

Panzerballett - Übercode Œuvre (25th of April)
Anna von Hausswolff - Atlas Song (around September)
Artificial Brain 4th album (don't have a date, but they've been recording recently)
Iwan Rheon new album (apparently recorded, mixed and mastered, should be released soon)

 

[JSKrev]

Dark Angel (should be on the next week)
Coroner

It's amazing that either band is making a new record. Imagine if Coroner had another Punishment for Decadence in them. Let's go, Tommy.

 

[sleewell]

imma give that new deafheaven a try, hopefully they brought the heavy back

 

[BusinessMan]

The new shadow of intent album art and title was leaked on FB yesterday so I’m looking forward to that. Orbit culture is supposed to be releasing something in a couple months too. New cytotoxin too.

 

[Gwdion]

I just found out:
Igorrr - AMEN (26th of September)

 

[Slaeyer]

The rerecorded EP named Ozai from Nospun is absolutely awesome!

 

[Ordacleaphobia]

Looking forward to new LANDMVRKS right around the corner. New Sleep Token will be interesting, so I'm looking forward to that too.
And Vildhjarta of course, probably the headliner of the year.

I'm hoping for a new Emmure record because I can't get enough of Josh Travis but AFAIK nothing announced.
A full length from HEAVENSGATE would also be awesome.
