[sezna]

I'm excited for the rest of the new Ne Obliviscaris album! Also heard some rumors about new Vitalism.

 

[Werecow]

Hopefully a new Slugdge album. That's actually the only thing i can think of at the moment. Not much new music excites me these days

 

[vibrantgermancities]

Right now I’m mostly waiting for Majesties to drop some classic melodeath:

 

[KailM]

Blut Aus Nord — Disharmonium II

 

[CanserDYI]

I wish BTBAM would do an "Alaska 2" like they did colors 2.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Cattle Decapitation! So stoked.

We might get a new Cannibal Corpse by the end of the year too.

I'm sure I'm missing a ton of stuff, it's early.

 

[Pietjepieter]

Cattle Decap and Baby metal

 

[profwoot]

Periphery, Sleep Token, and Jakub Zytecki are the first to come to mind.

Plus I'll be at Plini/Sungazer/Zytecki this summer.

 

[Dwellingers]

New The Arcane Order \m/

 

[sleewell]

Really excited for new cattle decap

 

[gunshow86de]

Enslaved, 200 Stab Wounds and Frozen Soul

 

[OmegaSlayer]

Right now I’m mostly waiting for Majesties to drop some classic melodeath:

Oi dude, this is so cooll!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Looking forward to it!

Hoping for a new Borknagar record

 

[prlgmnr]

I've turned into one of those crusty old gits who doesn't know the first fucking thing about what might be coming out

oh but I got an inkling Car Bomb are doing something so that will probably do me

 

[Ralyks]

Sleep Token. Anything else is gravy.

Although that new Overkill track is a ripper.

 

[p0ke]

My most anticipated ones at the moment:

- Gloryhammer

They played a new song live on their current tour, and based on that their next album will probably be their best. Plus all their albums have been really good so far.

- In Flames

Seems like it's gonna be their best in a very long time. Preordered.

- Oceanhoarse

Singles have been great so far, actually they've released most of the tracks that'll be on the album. Also preordered.

- Ensiferum

I don't know if their album will be out this year but their vocalist confirmed it will at least be recorded this year. Their previous album was their best since the early albums, so the bar is set pretty high.

- Cattle Decapitation

Again, the bar is set very high by the previous albums.

Also:

- Unearth
- Bloodbound
- Maybe it's time for a new Opeth album?
- Maybe Wintersun will actually do something this year?

Probably lots more coming that I just can't think of right now...

Cattle Decap and Baby metal

ah yes, the yin and the yang

 

[Kyle Jordan]

SCAR SYMMETRY!

 

[Grand Moff Tim]

The new Twilight Force is out, and it goes hard.

 

[neurosis]

I am working through the new Katatonia at the moment. It's a favorite band of mine so I've been digging it so far but not sure if it'll grow more on me.
New Obituary has been fun.
That Attila Csihar album (Void Ov Voices) could be cool.
Death Atlas was cool but peak Cattle Decap for me so not sure how to measure my expectations with the new record.
No idea what's coming out this year to be honest.
