I've recently become obsessed with the Italian power metal band Ancient Bards. They have four albums out and a new one in the works. There hasn't been any real updates in awhile, but hopefully it's still planned to release this year.
It's probably a bad sign for me that I can't really think of any albums that I'm looking forward to. Most of the ones I was hyped for have already dropped. Aside from the new KGATLW, the only thing I'm hyped for is the Stop Making Sense 4k remaster.
Then again, I'm pretty slow on the uptake when it comes to following music news. I very frequently only just learn an album is coming out only days out from release, if not on or after release
personally, I'm looking forward to the new album from George Clanton, I only recently found out about him and I've definitely liked what I've heard so far of his new album; I'm also looking forward to Act 3 from The Protomen, whenever that ends up happening (it's been over a decade since Act 2 came out IIRC, which is significantly longer than I've known about them, but I've gotten to be quite the fan of them over the years)
Definitely looking forward to KGATLW. There's also The Beggar by Swans coming out on soon on June 23, and I'm looking forward to The Harmony Codex by Steven Wilson on September 29. I do go in fairly blind to these albums though, so I'm hyped purely by these artists' previous works.
We have a new Pearl Jam album coming up at some point.
If it were a week ago, I would have said the new Extreme album. Now that it's out, all I can say is if you like real guitar rock, give it a listen. It is SO. GOOD.
