First post on Lemmy…
What albums are you looking forward to this year/in the near future?
I’m excited for the new Queens of the Stone Age and KGATLW, and the 20th anniversary release of Deftones self titled
The new King Gizz album might be shaping up to be one of their best, based on the singles released. (If you like their heavier side, at least)
It’s out now but I haven’t heard it yet, the new Jason Isbell album.
I love Rats Nest so I’m pumped for PDA. Only listened to Gila Monster/Converge so far
There’s a really underrated band I love called Savatage who are apparently releasing their first album since 2001
Wow nice! Definitely a blast from the past, i was listening to them and helloween when I started listening to metal.
I’ve recently become obsessed with the Italian power metal band Ancient Bards. They have four albums out and a new one in the works. There hasn’t been any real updates in awhile, but hopefully it’s still planned to release this year.
Need to check this out. “Ancient Bards” sounds like a Blind Guardian tribute band based on the name 🙂
It’s probably a bad sign for me that I can’t really think of any albums that I’m looking forward to. Most of the ones I was hyped for have already dropped. Aside from the new KGATLW, the only thing I’m hyped for is the Stop Making Sense 4k remaster.
Then again, I’m pretty slow on the uptake when it comes to following music news. I very frequently only just learn an album is coming out only days out from release, if not on or after release
New Queens of the Stone Age out soon. I haven’t loved the singles but I will absolutely check it out.
Same, hoping it turns out good.
The new CMAT album, first couple singles off it are great, seeming like a slightly different sound for this one so interested to see how the rest are!
Based on the singles I heard I’m hyped for the King Gizz album. It sounds like it’s going to be a more mature rats nest.
Dragon goes insanely hard I really can’t wait. I also hope they do another KEXP session maybe.
God I hope so. Live on KEXP is ALWAYS good

I’m looking forward to Blakbriar’s A Dark Euphony album coming out this fall. I really love their sound and Zora’s voice.
Doom Singer by Chris Farren, first two singles are awesome
“6661” by Kuollut & SIVERNOT out June 23. It’s promoted as Futuristic Witch House with Folk vocals. Kuollut is one of my favourite producers.
That sounds like a wild combination of genres! Do you have any idea what their work process is like?
We have chatted and what I gather is they work incredibly quickly, with a focus on being decisive about ideas and arrangements. Find something that works and run with it - don’t hesitate to scrap ideas that don’t work. That kind of thing.
“1972” by Green Day (or whatever they’re going to call it); set to come out in 2024.
Personally really looking forward to Nothing But Thieves new album that will be out July!
Off the top of my head, just Shining.
Definitely looking forward to KGATLW. There’s also The Beggar by Swans coming out on soon on June 23, and I’m looking forward to The Harmony Codex by Steven Wilson on September 29. I do go in fairly blind to these albums though, so I’m hyped purely by these artists’ previous works.
