Only five. Or three, depends on how you count.

Rage - Wings of Rage
Mystic Prophecy - Metal Division
Demons & Wizards - III
Testament - Titans of Creation (hasn't arrived yet)
Nightwish - Human Nature (pre-order)

Up to six now with Archon Angel

6 in under 5 months means I'm on pace for about 14-15 new releases in 2020, which seems about right. I don't think there usually are more CD's worth owning per year. Of course that total number then doubles over time when I fill in the gaps and end up with about 30 CD's per year...

Honestly speaking, it's much better than piling up tens of cds and not having the time to listen to them properly.

I have been revisiting my collection during the Covid-19 outbreak, and am now realizing how many good albums i had missed, simply because i was busy buying more and more.

A sentence that only makes sense in the Heart of Metal.

It's been slow for me this year. So far these are the only 2020 releases I've bought.

Testament, Titans of Creation....damn good album
Ozzy Osbourne, Ordinary Man....damn terrible album
Blue Oyster Cult, Hard Rock Live in Cleveland 2014....just got it tonight and am half way through as I type this....so far me likes it a lot

And that's it. I have bought a couple older releases recently though. Picked up W.A.S.P. K.F.D., Dio, Strange Highways, and Legion of the Damned, Descent into Chaos. Been trying not to spend money lately in light of all that's going on these days. Cirith Ungol is definitely next on my list though.

Both Cirith Ungol and Ross The Boss will be on my next list.

I would have bought the new Cirith Ungol, but didn't know they released it already. I'll be ordering it this weekend for sure. Hell, I might go to the record store if it's open and buy it there.

So far, only STP's Perdida. But I have a strong hunch that the Easter Bunny might be leaving me the new Ozzy album this Sunday.

Testament's on my short-list to get too, once all this smooths over.

So since this last post above, I've only added 2 new releases,

Testament - Titians of Creation
Black Swan - Shake the World

Bringing my grand total of 2020 releases up to 4. Whoopity-doo!!

I have five 2020 releases on the way: wolf, Wolfpakk, Tokyo blade, oz and cloven hoof. Hope to get them within the next couple of weeks.

The new Grave Digger is out too. This is a must buy.

Man, this year is getting better and better.

Upload there. Then copy the 'direct link' address.

I am trying it Lari. Here is a recent order i received:

Well there you go. That link leads to the picture.



Use the forum's insert image button to hotlink the image if you want.



Then you get the image in the post instead of just the link.

And I think that's the same print of Ample Destruction as I have. Black Sunday is the bonus track?

Yes, it is. It's the last Jag Panzer album i have picked up, and it's their best imo.

Add a couple more to my list for the year:

Cirith Ungol, Forever Black
Villagers of Ioannina City, Age of Aquarius

Just got Wolfpakk - Nature strikes back in the mail .

Got Burning Witches Dance with the devil a few days ago...

Got these in the mail, earlier this afternoon:

Quite a few surprises in my mail this afternoon:

Riot (rock world: unreleased material from the Tony Moore era)
Grave Digger
Havok
UDO

Black Swan is the only one I can think of

Since that last post, I've only added 2 more from 2020:

Lucifer - Lucifer III
Sons of Apollo - MMXX

Not much on the horizon that I'm aware of, other than the new Armored Saint and Night Demon, that I'm looking forward to either. To say 2020 has been a disappointment to me, musically or otherwise, would be an understatement.
