Anticipated Metal Releases in 2017

[Riff Raff]

I am most keen on the new Kreator and Sepultura albums at least for the first month or so of 2017. Kreator hasn't put anything out since 2012 and its gonna take quite a feat to surpass Phantom Antichrist.

[Riff Raff]

That song was good but not anything too special.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

For me, the Edenbridge and Xandria albums are must-haves.

2016 was a massive release year for symphonic metal, so this year should be pretty light.

Hopefully Swallow The Sun is working on something new. Their last album was in 2015.

A fully new Visions Of Atlantis album would be nice.

 

[Riff Raff]

I doubt Swallow The Sun would be given it was 3 albums they put out at once.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I can still hope.

Just like, even though Insomnium put out out an album in 2016, it was a 40 minute concept, so I'm hoping the next album won't be more than 2 years after that. I figure they have more stuff written that wasn't a part of the concept.

True and hope both Swallow and Insomnium have more material left over.

Kreator's new album freakin' rules. I have the new Hour of Penance and Beheaded on order now.

Beheaded - Beast Incarnate


Killer Death Metal album just released a couple of days ago. My first exposure to them too.

The Black Death

Dunno if you've picked up or ordered the new Xandria album yet? If not, make sure you get the 2-CD mediabook. The acoustic bonus CD is a must-have!

Thanks. I usually shoot for the version with extra tracks, including acoustic ones.
