Absolutely! Rotting Christ's music has always been fabulous and likewise their production has always been equally suitable.

Only one who cares here but honestly can't wait haha. Superb (and surely memeable) cover and solid new song!

April. First track out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW8FUPC5UbA

Pretty cool track.

New MDB track is out for the April album is out as well. I liked the first half but I needed some heavier stuff in the second and never got it.

At last! Not sure if I like the artwork or not yet...



The track is very solid, wasn't sure about the production choice at first with upfront-sounding drums but I think I'm won over. Sounds more like FtM than GoO, which I'd say is a good thing.

You didn't think it dragged in the second half at all? I'm just becoming more difficult to please these days.

I am expecting a classical work by MDB. A return to the early days, with the reappearing of swans. I would have preferred a slightly different color scheme, for the artwork, but the general idea behind it is finely conceived, and imaginatively executed. A highly anticipated album as far as I'm concerned.

April!

May! Paradox was pretty good, let's hope they can keep the ball rolling.

Hmm. Have not paid much attention to Nocturnus. But that cover does look intriguing.

Getting a bit comic-book-y for me, that artwork. And as far as classic death metal reunions go, found the Possessed 2019 comeback superior. But definitely worth checking out, are Nocturnus (AD).

I don't think I have listened to them more than once or twice and it was such a long time that I don't remember I liked it very much of it, either. Either way, it did not make much of an impression on me back then. Still something to listen to and in my case to come to like, for whatever it is that it is worth. Thanks for sharing, Zad.

New Limbonic Art set to be released June 28th, 2024.

New albums from Manes, 1349, Wormed, Ætheria Conscientia, Sarke, and Pathology due. New tracks all sound good!

New Opeth October 11th. Opeth's new band photo has strong echoes of Akercocke, and the album cover, has the strong scent of heaviness, sinfulness, and grandeur/gothic-ness, and Mikael's unspoilable originality.

Yes, I am thoroughly excited to hear the new Opeth after the new single dropped today.

Musical highlight of the entire year for me, despite and aside from everything which I hear throughout a given year.

New Nachtmystium in November.

Hmmm.

Not a fan of Prophecy doing this, personally, a label I always had a decent relationship with as a more active reviewer of promotional materials. Looks like a quick attempt at making a buck off the notoriety, whilst ignoring how many people he has ripped off and let down over the years. At least Nuclear Blast are releasing Marilyn Manson's new album whilst he denies the accusations rather than using those accusations for publicity.

(also the last couple of Nachymystium releases were terrible, and no, not in a I'm-burnt-out-on-metal kind of way )
