Another week where a good chunk of original release dates got pushed into the summer. Still some big names here, especially in the metal scene.

Danzig sings Elvis is something that had to happen eventually - props to Glenn not releasing it at Christmas

Slow week...Lucinda Williams and I'll check the Elder too maybe

JohnnyoftheWell

Oh goodness it's Dance Gavin Dance week

Solid week, definitely going to check Elder, Kali Uchis, Katatonia, Quelle Chris and of course Ulcerate.

Woeh damn what a week. Dance Gavin Dance and Katatonia are two of my most anticipated of this year and they're on the same day. Also Ulcerate (which has leaked officially by this point), Anubis Gate and a couple of others that I'm interested in at least spinning. Gonna be a busy week.

I didn't know (or didn't remember) there was a new Anubis Gate album coming out. Definitely interested.

dedex

Elder + Ulcerate on Friday oh my

Willie
04.21.20

I've already heard both of those ;) I am kind of looking forward to Katatonia, too, even though I haven't really liked them since Night is the New Day.

I feel a manosg's Cirith Ungol review on the works

dedex

Willie don't you dare taunt me

PistolPete

Considering how big a fan of Birds of Tokyo I was in the early 2010s, I'm disappointed I didn't know about their new album lol guess we've grown apart.

cristane

Trivium is an insta-buy for me; I'll also be checking out DGD, Elder and Katatonia.

manosg
04.21.20

Anxiously waiting for the new Cirith Ungol. Also, my god Danzing Sings Elvis Elvis Elvis Elvis is happening.

Dewinged
04.21.20

Katatonia, Elder and Ulcerate on the same day, holy Molly. Will check Cirith Ungol but only if manosg reviews it ;). And btw, not sure but I think new Jaga Jazzist this week too, it's called "Pyramid" I believe.

manosg
04.21.20

Appreciate it Dewi. Will try and write something about it, provided that my son allows me to listen to the album.

Divaman
04.21.20

Probably a pass. Maybe I'll finally check out Dance Gavin Dance.

dedex

Lucman
04.21.20

Not any hyped releases here for me, but I'll be checking Lucinds Williams, Trivium, and maybe The Used.

JohnnyoftheWell
04.21.20

gonna check the Used out of morbid curiosity + because the In Love and Death throwback on that artwork makes my synapses ache

Lucman
04.21.20

And yes, I will peep what Mr. Gavin has going on. Relistened to Mothership last night and it was stronger than I remember.

ajcollins15

Nyrst, Auroch, Lustre, Dark Forest (UK) , Elephant Tree, Fange, Xpus, MORKETIDA, LIVE BURIAL (all on the 24th), Pyre (27th)

Atari

don't think The Used could have been much more lazy with the title of their new album.. they already have Artwork. guess someone suggested adding 2 letters, lol

Divaman

@betl I was just referring to the week as per the albums on the list! Decent week if you include what's not on here lol

Sowing
04.23.20

Willie Nelson was delayed i believe @dewi

DoofDoof
04.24.20

Didn’t realise the 2020 chart was up - uninspiring, two albums from this week currently top it

Dewinged
04.24.20

@Sow same with Jaga Jazzist I believe (August) , crazy times!

bloodshy
04.24.20

i believe it's been up since forever, if you type in the date in the address bar. as far as i know, as soon as an album has enough ratings for that year, it starts to list?

someone correct me if im wrong

grandbazaar

Katatonia and Trivium for me. great week :)

lalchimiste
