As far as I'm concerned, a new Tool album is vaporware until I have it in hand/on my hard drive. New Gojira is exciting, though I've yet to get around to *L'Enfant Sauvage*.
Coitus interruptus tier Orden Ogan Thulcandra Finsterforst
Foreplay tier Hate Moonspell Mechina Napalm Death Sylosis The Crown Ensiferum Armageddon Sotajumala Venom Deivos Stormwitch The Agonist
Also Angra is out in a bunch of days and I doubt Alkaloid will be out before the end of March, like Veil Of Maya perhaps. Hopefully the new Carach Angren will be released soon, that would be in the second tier Loads to look forward to
I'm quite stoked to hear new Fear Factory recorded with live drums after waiting since "Mechanize", and completely unironically psyched for the new Coal Chamber to come out...they're coming through The Knitting Factory in Spokane on March 12th of next year with American Head Charge and Filter, and I am so there.
Symphony X is in the final stages of recording a new album, that is my wuhu! for 2015. But well symphony x is not known for their fast paced album releases, so might be out in 2016
Periphery Sylosis Tesseract (if they'd manage it this year) Slice The Cake Breaking Benjamin (has to happen now they're back)
Would listen:
Tremonti (though I really hope it's better than his debut) Metallica (gonna be hit or miss I guess) Maiden (I hope it'd be a bit less proggy) Muse (Would love to if they'd drop all the layers and bombastic stuff)
Periphery's upcoming album Bilo 4.0 (by David Maxim Micic) New KsE album? (they said that they are entering studio next year, iirc) The HAARP Machine, I wish ;_;
