What's everyone looking forward to in 2020?

[Man Of Much Metal]

Happy New Year Everyone!

As the title states, what is everyone looking forward to hearing the most in 2020?

For me, there are lots, covering a number of genres. But if I could pick out a few, it'd be:

Pain Of Salvation (can they top ITPLOD)
Caligula's Horse (can they equal their last two or get even better?)
Vanishing Point
Katatonia
Anathema

As always, I have created a 3-part series (so far) looking at these and many other releases in more detail, so if you're interested, here's the link:

But I'm more interested in everyone else's views (and to make sure I've not missed anyone off my list!)

Looking forward to seeing your highlights

Cheers

I really don't know of much that's definitely coming out that I'm interested in. I'm sure it will come, but the current slate isn't inspiring me just yet.

I'm definitely interested in the new Creeper record, and I'm curious about the Russell Allen/Anette Olzon album, but that's about it I can think of at the moment.

I’m looking forward to a post from Nosferatwo without any negativity ... Feel free to use the other forum for that stuff!

Based on how great a year 2019 was musically, here’s hoping for 2020 to be just as awesome!

Psychotic Waltz is coming soon and I really like the album. The first three singles from the Sons of Apollo discs are all great to me. And if there’s a new Katatonia on the horizon, then that might very well end up as an AotY candidate.

Right now I'm very curious to hear the full Psychotic Waltz, as the first track REALLY impressed the heck out of me. Looking forward to Transatlantic also, but beyond those two I don't know of anything that really has me on the edge of my seat. Lots of stuff coming from "staple" bands (Serenity, Sons of Apollo, probably 17 new George Lynch projects, Jorn, etc) but I don't expect any of those to be top five type albums.....

As it stands, I'm STILL trying to catch up on stuff I bought last year..... Just got around to the Ray Alder and Divided Multitude discs (LOVE the DM disc, that's probably a top 5 in hindsight).

Psychotic Waltz
Twelve Foot Ninja
Chaos Divine
In Search of Sun

Edit: I completely forgot to echo Pos and Caligula's Horse as well!

Also hopeful for

Karnivool
Cog
Eastern High
This Misery Garden
Mad Lollipop
Nerve End
Mytra

And a few long shots

Dead Air Radio
Haji's Kitchen
Rishloo

[Hearing Aid Man]

(LOVE the DM disc, that's probably a top 5 in hindsight).

The more I've played it, the more I agree.
