Holding this space for the eventual new Samael and Moonspell albums set to come out later this year. It doesn't matter how good they are or arent, they'll still be amazing! Also, with luck, we'll get a new Mastodon album.

It doesn't matter how good they are or arent, they'll still be amazing!

It doesn’t matter how much sense that argument makes or doesn’t make, it’s still amazing!

 

[Sth2112]

It will be good to get new music from Anthrax, Running wild and Beast in black, hope the new Ayreon come this year as well

 

[Maturin]

New albums from Chez Kane (Reckless out 27 March on Frontiers), Crashdïet (TBA), Hardcore Superstar (TBA), Stryper and The Cruel Intentions this year.

The 69 Eyes just released a single in collaboration with Steve Stevens:

Overall I'm thinking 2026 is going to be a GREAT year in music for me personally, and 2025 wasn't bad.
