Yeah... I'm really hoping it'll be available in some other format somehow. It's good to see they're working on new stuff, though; hopefully this means there'll be another full-length sooner rather than later.

The 2 albums they've created so far have been stellar. Looks like they're not shifting from that quality, and that's fine with me!

Get a turntable, you losers!

Honestly, I would love to. I don't really have the room for it and I don't need to spend the extra amount of cash for vinyl. If I'm able to in the future and vinyl is still a thing, then I would love to get one. I can't just now.

New Carcass, new Hypocrisy, new Summoning and Wintersun's "Time II". Haven't heard much of what's to come this year metal-wise, but the year is still very young.

New Hypocrisy material is out.

If you ask me honestly, I think it's quite a weak song to put out first. This could've been one of their filler songs.

Says the guy who owns a Suicide Silence LP! Get good music loser!

Keeping track of the studio reports from Kalmah! I think this will be another year where melodic death metal makes a huge comeback.
Dark Tranquillity, Amon Amarth, Omnium Gatherum, Hypocrisy are releasing new albums this year

Six Feet Under will already be releasing another album less than a whole year after Undead, titled Unborn on March 19th. While I wasn't expecting it so soon, the title and artwork should make it apparent that this is a very much a companion piece to its predecessor. Chris Barnes had stated in interviews that he'd been writing and recording several songs with not only Steve Swanson and Rob Arnold (whom he said will continue to contribute,) but with Jari Laine of Torture Killer and Ben Savage of Whitechapel, too. I can see this being made up of several songs by the latter and perhaps Ola Englund as well. I've actually enjoyed their last 3 albums for being the simple knuckledraggers that they are and Undead is clearly their best after getting some more talented musicians for the first time in, well, ever. I could be alone on this and that's fine but if all of their albums - to include the first two with Allen West - were of that style and relative quality perhaps they wouldn't have been looked at with as much derision as they have over the years, personal feelings towards Barnes notwithstanding.

The artwork:

Also, NY slam stalwarts Internal Bleeding are hoping to finally get their next album out by the end of the year. According to their official site, they're hitting the studio Feb. 2nd to record five songs for a few labels that have expressed interest. Once they reach an agreement with one, they'll go back and finish recording the rest of the album. No title set yet, but they had previously considered The Pageantry of Savagery which is one of the songs they've written. Other tentative songtitles are In the Absence of Soul, The Visitant, and Placating the Ancients.

Hibria, whom have become one of my more favorite power metal (or speed?) bands in recent years also began recording their new album at the beginning of the month. While the genre's on my mind, has anyone heard anything about a new Nocturnal Rites album? They've been working on that since mid-'11 if I'm not mistaken. Something must have hit a snag.

Warbringer also plan to have a new album out in the fall and Revocation have hinted at new material this year.

I was really surprised when I saw Dusty post that on facebook. I thought it was artwork for a shirt. I didnt like Undead nearly as much as the others. The songs lacked the catchiness to me. I guess thats because Rob Arnold wrote it.

Presumably, 2013 will bring upon quite a bulk of releases to be highly anticipated by those about to kvlt.

For example, Legacies Unchain's debut album, "Satan is Strong and Always Near", recorded in 2004, shall finally see its release through Promethean Burn and at the very least the "Towards the Barbaryan Satanation" demos, if not all demos, are scheduled to follow suit, too.

Also, the omens are favourable for long-awaited full-lengths releases by Altar of Perversion (tentatively titled "Intra Naos"), Musta Surma (tentatively titled "Mortalis Magna"), Xibalba, recently reformed Megiddo from Canada (tentatively titled "The Holocaust Messiah") and Pentagram from Chile to finally see the light of the day. Algor, Celestial Bloodshed, Mysticum, Antediluvian (titled "Logos") Cultes des Ghoules (titled "Henbane"), Raspberry Bulbs (titled "Deformed Worship") are each supposed to release their second albums in 2013 - and even Drowned will enter the studio sometime this year to finally record their debut album.

The releases of debut albums by Katechon, Sortilegia, White Medal (titled "Guthmers Hahl"), Grave Upheaval, Cirrhus, Black Feast and Panphage are also imminent.

All of this merely from the top of my head - oh my stars!

There's a new Graveland album in March called "Thunderbolts of the Gods". This could be awesome, or maybe he's run out of ideas. I'll be interested for sure.

looking forward to new Helstar, new Virgin Steele, new Queensryche, new Fates Warning, new Judas Priest, New SLAYER!!!!!!!!

Drowned! I am just listening new songs on their site. This could be fucking epic. I like Viscera Terre more than anything Necros Christos ever did.

What the hell is Legacies Unchain? It seems impossible to find any samples and there is very little info, but some indications are suggesting me that this is worth keeping an eye on.
