Not a new album from Maiden - it will be the Maiden England re-release on DVD/Blu-Ray

Defeated Sanity - Passages Into Deformity
Otep - Hydra
Deceased - Ghostly White
Vreid - Welcome Farewell
Deeds Of Flesh - Portals To Canaan
Warbeast - Destroy
Suffocation - The Pinnacle Of Bedlam
Rotting Christ - Do What Thou Wilt
Darkthrone - The Underground Resistance
Omen - Hammer Damage
Body Count - Manslaughter
Devourment - Conceived in Sewage

Put me down for the Crashdiet, Helloween, and Anvil.

There is also a new album from Sweden's "Ghost" on the way.

I hope for a new Decrepit Birth album.

There is also an experimental Japanese band called "Ghost" that have released several albums and singles.

doesn't matter.... I don't think anybody looking for music from either band will be confused by there being another one. doubt any store will have both anyways.

yep. There is no ghost of a chance...

Holy Grail - Ride The Void - release date 1/16/2013

Looking forward to the new Voivod. I think its supposed to drop on like the 22nd or something.

Apparently, there's going to be a new Fates Warning album sometime next year as well. Can't wait.

I'd like to be pleasantly surprised with the new 'ryche, but I'm going in with low expectations.

I'm very curious what new FW will sound like?

Wow...I hardly even care about anything listed...haha!!

I'm in the same boat. Riverside, Steven Wilson and Voivod (with reservations) are the only ones that peak my interest. I'm sure I'll give the new Ghost a listen as well.

New Helix and Tigertailz. And there is a rumor that Kick Axe is currently recording.

Hopefully reminiscent of Arch/Matheos, just with Ray Alder on vocals. I could live with that.

KIX should have a new one out sometime in 2013 too.

I'm looking forward to releases from HERETIC, PYLON, BOARDERS, DELIVERANCE, ANVIL, HAVOK and a few others. I'm really hoping that an ULTIMATUM vinyl release will happen as well. I'm talking with a company about doing something next year.

That Arch/Matheos was supposed to be FW anyway...Ray was just unavailable and Jim didn't want to sit around and wait...so he asked Ray if it was cool if he got Arch to sing on it.
