The official metal 2010 thread!

Armored Saint has never put out a bad album. I don't expect this to be any different.

 

[Tonka Time]

Blacklodge/Abigor split
Amok - Exodus Reversal Hex

I heard something about Darkthrone releasing another album.

True story. They finished recording recently.

 

[Tonka Time]

Why isn't this thread stickied yet?

Because when it actually is 2010 Zephyrus will make the OFFICIAL thread.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

New Maiden possibly next year:

IRON MAIDEN are to return to the studio and the road in 2010. According to drummer Nicko McBrain, in an interview with Rock Radio in the UK, “We have actually booked a studio and I think we’ll kick off in the second week of January with the new record…. As to touring – the end of the year, or definitely 2011. We may actually go out at the end of 2010. Once you’ve got the new album finished and packaged, and the record company’s happy with all the bits and pieces, then you want to go touring.”

If it's as good as AMOLAD, then it should be pretty awesome.

 

[Eligos]

Once we get our new guitarist fully acquainted we plan on recording our debut album in 2010.

*ducks*

 

[wandering_taco]

Definitely gonna have to pick up that Amorphis dvd when it comes out. And if Kastigation were to send out free copies of their debut to forum members I would be interested in getting one...

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm expecting nothing but awesomeness. The 9 near gap between Symbol of Salvation and Revelation didn't change anything, so why should the long wait matter this time?

Armored Saint has never put out a bad album. I don't expect this to be any different.

Both of these are qft

 

[Dusk]

Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy (Progressive metal, thrash metal; Century Media) - Jan 2010

Arsis - Starve for the Devil (Technical death metal, Melodic death metal; Nuclear Blast) - Feb 5 2010

 

[BradS1234]

The new Polkadot Cadaver album. No idea when it's slated to be released, but I'm dying to hear it.

 

[Anticitizen One]

This is nothing at all concrete, but I'm hoping to see albums from some bands that were rumored to have things coming out in 2009:

Deathspell Omega
Walknut
Dark Tribe
Ondskapt
Morbid Angel (not sure I'll like it, but I'm very curious.)
Gorguts

Should also be something new from Paysage d'Hiver on the way.

Audrey Sylvain of Amesoeurs etc. is working on two different projects with guys from Lifelover -- she told me via a last.fm PM earlier this year that she wanted to do something along the lines of Diapsiquir, so I'm wondering if that's what they're up to... Could be interesting.

Vindsval (BaN) has various projects in the works, so maybe some of those will come to light in 2010.

Alcest and Les Discrets will have a split out early in the year. Ever since learning that Les Discrets were doing something more in the vein of doom metal than those old myspace tracks would suggest, I've been a lot more interested. We'll see how that turns out.

Also, new Lantlôs. I'm still somewhat skeptical about them having brought in Neige for vocals instead of Alboin from Geist, but if it's anywhere near as good as their debut I think it'll be a winner.

New Burzum duh.

Lastly, new Agalloch.

So yeah, lots of cool stuff on the way in the coming year.

 

[Tonka Time]

Hopefully Concilium Antichristi's debut if it doesn't come out this winter.
Pretty sure a new Diapsiquir will be out in 2010.
Hopefully a sign of life from Neo Inferno 262.

New DsO and Ondskapt would be cool.

I have a few Back on Black releases and I must say the quality is not that great. Not in the records themselves but in the packaging. The cardboard they use feels cheap and shitty.

 

[Koude Haat]

i have a few BoB vinyls, they don't seem to be bad quality at all. The onslaught reissues are great..

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Everyone's vinyl reissues are feeling kinda shitty lately, I guess.

 

[Eligos]

if Kastigation were to send out free copies of their debut to forum members I would be interested in getting one...

Other than you, D_t, and WAIF, I doubt anyone would be interested in getting a "free" copy of our debut. It's trendy to hate on the band for non-musical reasons here.
