\"Jumalten<\/a>While 2015 was overall a disappointment, I have high expectations for 2016. Well, let’s clarify…There’s a new Moonsorrow<\/b> disc coming out! That’s it. That’s all you need to know. OK, fair enough, that’s a lot of pressure on the Finnish band. Usually these lists are just as much for me to catalog the upcoming calendar. Let’s take a peek at the very little 2016 has to offer. God, I really hope Moonsorrow<\/b> is good. <\/p>\n

Oh, and a few already arrived. None wowed me, TBH.<\/p>\n

Already Out<\/b>
\nAbbath<\/b> – Abbath (Good album)
\nMegadeth<\/b> – Dystopia (*snore*)
\nBorknagar<\/b> – Winter Thrice (Disappointing)
\nJesu\/Sun Kill Moon<\/b> – Eponymous (Unlistenable)
\nAnthrax<\/b> – For All Kings (Urgh)<\/p>\n

March<\/b>
\n25 – Amon Amarth<\/b> – Jomsviking<\/p>\n

April<\/b>
\n01 – Moonsorrow<\/b> – Jumalten Aika
\n01 – Babymetal<\/b> – Metal Resistance
\n04 – Ihsahn<\/b> – Arktis (zero expectations)
\n22 – October Tide<\/b> – Winged Waltz (excited!)<\/p>\n

Wow…that really is a barren list. Maybe a new Testament<\/b> disc, but…I haven’t loved them since like 2001. Metallica<\/b>? Haha. 2018! Is that all…? Hrmph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
