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.

It is man. On a normal year, i would travel to Europe for work at least 2 times. Once I would finish my meetings, i'd spend a few hours shopping for music and come back home with not less than 40 or 50 cds on average.

Gone are those days... At least as long as the Covid-19 is still around.

I'm looking forward to the new Vicious Rumors, Zakk Sabbath, Hexx, Hittman, Heathen and Eternal Champion albums.

I was aware of Hittman but totally missed Hexx and Eternal Champion. That's excellent news .

The Vicious Rumors and Heathen releases are definitely on my want list.

The only 2020 release I've got is From The Vault by Metal Church.

I definitely plan on getting the new Stryper and Raven albums when they come out next month though.

Otherwise, most of what I've bought this year has been back catalog stuff, filling in holes in various discographies. I don't have the time, or the patience, to keep my ear to the ground like I used to.

I had totally forgotten about Raven. Damn, a new one to add to the list.

Forgot about the Zakk Sabbath album. I'll probably check that one out too.

Just picked up Blue Oyster Cult, 45th Anniversary Live In London cd/dvd. They play the first album in its entirety. Finally a live version of Shes as Beautiful as a Foot.

Finally got Primal Fear and Ross The Boss in the mail yesterday afternoon. Amazon shipments from the US to my country have been so slow since the pandemic.

I did buy this one. From Greece. Had to.
Only about 15 minutes - for 15 bucks.

2020 has been a good year musically so far. Ill have to list the albums I have obtained.

In the mail today: Stryper, Rising Steel and Axel Rudi Pell.

Hexx .

You are right, I was going by the info on my Windows Media and it looks like there was an error in the upload. When I rip CDs I use the auto-fill information and sometimes forget to check for errors unless they're glaringly wrong. i.e. Theocracy is not part of the world music genre in any way shape or form.

Just got the latest Ancillotti - Hell On Earth in the mail.

Huge package of 2020 releases in the mail:

Glacier
Warfect
Hittman
Death Dealer
L.A Guns

I plan on getting caught up on the 2020 releases I want once I get my Christmas bonus (at least I hope I get one. I've gotten one every year I've worked this job).

I hope it's not a certificate to the Jelly Of The Month Club,

I got the Marco Hietala solo album, Pyre of the Black Heart.

That’s the first thing I thought of when I read his post!

Good luck 007

2020 is an awful year, except in terms of new metal releases where it's excellent so far.
