Several of these have been mentioned by me and others in this thread already, but my favorite releases in 2023 were, in no particular order: Baroness - Stone Kvelertak - Endling Enforced - War Remains Blood Star - First Sighting Shadows - Out For Blood Haunt - Golden Arm Blood Ceremony - The...

Industry darlings—sometimes called “industry plants” inaccurately—The Last Dinner Party give off a Queen vibe IMO. Already signed to a major label and managed by Q Prime, these ladies could potentially be huge, and soon. Debut album drops this coming February, four singles already out there...

Whatever you may think of REO Speedwagon as a band, there is no denying that Gary Richrath was a complete badass guitar player. Also, the Midnight Special YouTube channel is rapidly becoming the MVP of the Internet. Speaking of badass:

There is a plausible argument that, with this new remix, "Tim" is the best album of all time, by anyone, ever. Not fucking around. I'm serious.

Quite a month for new releases. Love the new Kvelertak, and now the new Baroness album, which is the first in a while that isn’t a sonic mess. Arguably their best since the “Blue Album,“ with lots of great riffs and guitar harmonies by John and Gina: And, though it’s not “new” music...

Revised to reflect my opinions, based on gut reaction and about 20 seconds of thought:

New Kvelertak! I don’t speak Norwegian so I have no idea what any song is about, but these guys kick ass.

The new releases from Haunt and Blood Ceremony are worth a listen...

Link: Spotify ejects thousands of AI-made songs in purge of fake streams (Financial Times article)

It is very f*ed up. Precisely because it's...well...fun? People will do this. I'm sure many of you have tried something like this already, but here is a ChatGPT query/response I literally just ran a moment ago. Me: Generate lyrics in the style of Iron Maiden for a song about the Haitian...

A thread about AI-generated music. More for discussion/debate/commentary, rather than a "post-your-own-AI-music" thread (if you could manage that). At least that's the intent. Thought about posting this in the "Fictional albums or bands" thread, but this is more specific. First video is an...

More info: Debut album is slated for release on April 21. A second single can be streamed on Bandcamp now. Blood Star was founded by Visigoth's guitarist. Supposedly this is the singer's first band, and she's great.

Blood Star Fuck yeah.

Just announced: Iron Maiden playing a festival in Indio, CA in October. Could this mean additional U.S. dates in the Fall?? https://www.ironmaiden.com/news/article/iron-maiden-will-bring-the-future-past-to-power-trip-in-indio-ca-usa-on-october-6-2023

I would rather see and listen to the Iron Maidens than The Raven Age. Sorry, but SOMEONE had to say it.

New U.S. tour dates for Summer 2023 announced. Presales happening now. "SPILLWAYS" is password for fan presale. Got my ticket for Nashville this morning. Enjoy! https://ghost-official.com/#tour

Blame the chatbots!!

I don't listen to nearly as much new stuff as @The_7th_one , evidently, so I am no doubt overlooking a lot, but here's what has stood out to me in 2022: Ghost - Impera Blind Guardian - The God Machine Elder - Innate Passage Scorpions - Rock Believer Deströyer 666 released a new album (Never...

A guy on SH forum wrote that it uses the 2015 digital remaster, but the statement was unsourced, nothing official, couldn’t confirm.

Well, how does it sound? I agree with the comments that the previous 2014 vinyl remaster of TNOB was thin-sounding and not as good as the other vinyl remasters of that period. I have read they used a different remaster for this release, but I’m not sure. Also, the 2002 CD of BoH from Eddie’s...
