The Upcoming Albums Thread

For those into that occult 60's flavoured psych stuff Purson have a new album out soon. Not sure of the release date so if anyone knows please add.

I'm really digging the newest Avantasia album, Ghostlights. There's more shred and metal in it than the last few releases, while keeping the same basic style. Good Stuff

There's quite a few planned/rumoured releases this year that got me excited.

Testament I believe are going to release a new one this year.
There's the possibility of a new Solution .45 as well, they mentioned in an interview that they had material for two albums for last years Nightmares In The Waking State - Part 1 but didnt want to release a double album so they were holding on to the rest of the material. Its just hints but I really hope it means we get a new one later this year.
Winterhorde have mentioned that the new album is already recorded and that they are looking for a label or distributor or something. But then, this wouldnt be the first time they promise to release new material...
Judicator have announced that the new album, The Last Emperor will be released this year. Considering that their last album is one of my top albums of last year, I'm fairly hyped for this one.
Lascaille's Shroud, as Adam already mentioned, is out this year. Pretty excited for that one as well.
The new Chthe'ilist album, Le Dernier Crépuscule is already out and is a strong contender for a spot on the Top 2016 releases.
Avantasia's Ghostlights has gotten a few spins already, pretty solid stuff much like their last release before it.

And finally (for now at least), Gorillaz are supposed to release a new album this year. This is possibly the album that I am most excited for this year.

As for my contribution to this thread... there's plenty of bands I love that have or will release an album this year.

^ I'll definitely be checking that one out.

Speaking of Leif Edling, arent Candlemass scheduled for a new release?
After hearing their cover of Entombed's To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth I'm quite excited to hear more from their current vocalist.

another disappointment for me came from Witchcraft; I found their new album Nucleus uninteresting, even dull.

Out next Friday 25th March....

The Jelly Jam will release their 4th album, entitled Profit, in May. For those who don't know, Jelly Jam is Ty Tabor (King's X), John Myung (DT) and Rod Morgenstein (Dixie Dregs, Winger).
Glad to see they're back. Sure, their music is not very different from King's X, but it's very enjoyable (at least for me).
