2015 Releases in Metal and Rock

I'm not completely up to date with the upcoming schedule for metal releases, so I might be forgetting something, but I'm currently most excited about Negură Bunget, The Gentle Storm (Arjen Lucassen + Anneke van Giersbergen), Sirenia, Enslaved, Unleashed and The Agonist. Of course I'm also curious about Nightwish with Floor.

In addition, a bit further down the road: Riverside, Slayer and Paradise Lost.

I'm definitely interested in Nugura Bungent and Unleashed...Unleashed is a favorite. Always interested in what Slayer will come up with. I think Christ Illusion is Slayers best CD right after first five ( all classics IMO ) and World Painted Blood was another winner in my book.

Xandria is in the recording studio. Definitely could be a 2015 release coming.

 

[Riff Raff]

Add Apocalyptica to my list of eagerly awaiting new record.

^ I figured by their FB posts that album was already out. Well, adding that to the list either way.

 

[Riff Raff]

The new Agonist album is awesome.

Here's what I have so far, all good but some better than others.

Venom
Manilla Road
Visigoth
Wheel
Battle Beast
Satan's Host

More likely early 2016, but either way, I'm excited!

After hearing the title track, I'm really excited about that one as well. I've always enjoyed them, but that title track is possibly their best song so far!

The new Agonist album is awesome.

I downloaded it because I won't get my copy until next week. The album is excellent and I guess you can argue back and forth about who is the better singer, but I prefer Vicky's vocals by far!

Of those, I only have Battle Beast. I really like the album.

Yeah, the Battle Beast is very Eighties and good stuff. Sorry, Wheel is 2013; must be a re-release. That one's a good trad doom album.

 

[Riff Raff]

I don't really care who is a better vocalist, just that if the music is good overall.
