What are you looking forward to in 2006?

Necronomicon

I was just thinking about what bands have stuff coming out in the following year, and what I have to look out for.
Undisputed number one for me is Dante XXI by Sepultura. It seems like forever since they released Roorback, and since they've started posting studio updates and teasers on their website, I've gotten pretty impatient!
Other albums, well, I read that Mastodon hope to have a follow-up to Leviathon in the summer, hope that comes out (I'm sure they're releasing a dvd in the meantime). I really hope that Machine Head release a new album, they've been touring Through The Ashes Of Empires since late 2003, I'd love some new material.
Also, isn't there meant to be the Dimebag box-set coming out? The one with unreleased material, including his country side-project he had going with Vinnie.

Anyway, there's just a few off the top of my head, feel free to add more.

Hopefully a new Tool album

Tar.Aldarion

Sepultura, slayer, tool and evanecscence albums that I am aware of.

projectmayhem

aye i be waitin for some new tool material. yarr.

Flipflip

new Pearl Jam album and tour.

herobear

listening to the new mastodon here(well its not exactly new, remastered versions of a coupla tracks off their ep and some other unreleased before now demo's) its pretty cool though, has a european release in february

dont know if thats what your talking about, or do they have a new original material album coming out soon ?

whens the new katatonia album coming out ??

Zapp Brannigan

New Blind Guardian album, new Chili's album too. There'll prolly be other stuff aswell.

Doctor J

Mastodon, Voivod, Rush, Sepultura and Celtic Frost are all releasing new stuff

dimerocks

Dante(sepultura) is the one that is really geting me exctited. i have THAT feeling about it. Rebel Vs Rebel i think will be fairly cool and a new Mastodon album.They would make me very happy.

Dave H

Yeah man, I'm with you on the David Allen Coe album. Vinnie Paul described it as some of Dimebag's best playing ever. I heard some Damageplan/Dimebag stuff might see the light of day, but Vince is just getting his head together about it. Understandably so.

PiE

Dunno, all the bands I was waiting for released new albums towards the end of '05, so I'm not getting my hopes up for new releases in '06.

Having said that... Tool, Menomena (UAH was _not_ a proper album!), Decemberists... bleh.

curious_george

New Deftones album in the Spring...oh yes

poweller

Seeing Trivium Again

They were bollocks when they play Ozzfest here

It wasn't me!

New stuff is poor too. I wants more Mastodon, I want to see the return of tab sites and a general upturn in all things heavy.

Arucard

top of my list would be the new Tool album & the DragonForce gig

herobear

so after some research there's new:
dragonforce(which is awful)
krisiun(which i havent heard yet)
tool
katatonia(amazing!)
green carnation(really good!)
mastodon(alot of its just a rehash though)
in flames
carpathian forest

and many many more

New Maiden album due this year too I believe, and hopefully a tour to go with it!

Looking forward to some new Sick of it All and Lacuna Coil too (you'd better be right on that one nightwish!)

rainbow kirby

New Tool, new Tristania, Dragonforce live, Sonata Arctica live DVD...

Creamy Goodness

new biffy clyro album, from the new songs i've heard them play live (4 of them) it sounds rocking.

i wouldnt say awful, but it is a big disappointment in comparison to the other albums.

Yes! New Lacuna Coil and Elis. Really looking forward to this now:D

Ruaidhri

There'll be new Martyr and new Novembre (April i think). Amongst those already mentioned.

Steoob

new slayer album... hopin it will return to theyre older late 80's early 90's stuff... GHUA was great but it wasn't nearly as technical and thought out as seasons...

Dar

Operation Mindcrime II

Tazz T

New Manowar album - probably the March since that's when they're touring.

I'm going to the gig in Athens:D

Fraggle Rocks

New Ten Past Seven album

steveland?

True... Sonic Firestorm and Valley of the Damned are far better than Inhuman Rampage.
And new Blind Guardian?

cournioni

I'm looking forward to the Sepultura / In Flames gig. Two bands that I've always wanted to see.

Nightwish

Its called Karmacode and its out sometime around March. You can listen to tracks from it on their Myspace page

gizmo

March really, why? Trivium w/ God Forbid, Avenged Sevenfold, Dragonforce and In Flames. Not a bad month by any means, a nice mix in there!

Alter Bridge going back into the studio so should have a track or two by the end of the year.

Sane with Trivium's new album, The Crusade, should have a track or two off that aswell...

pbsuxok1znja4r

Looking forward to Thrice coming to Dublin, and maybe some new material/tour from the Smashing Pumpkins.
And with some luck maybe Glassjaw will be a real band again.

kkposse

can't wait for Deftones, Sick of it all & Tool:D

Karmacode? Doesn't sound so promising now, but hopefully I'm wrong!

redmosquito

Cant wait for the new Pearl Jam album, its been a while coming but ive got a feeling its gonna be something special. Plus hopefully a return tour to Europe, its been a long time. And if the recent NA and South American tour is anything to go by then it should be savage!!
