Do you not like their latest two albums, or just haven't heard them?

Are you sure about that? I remember that exact quote but it was about how they accidentally composed Fires Within Fires in just a week, but then it took them a few months to record it even though it was already fully composed. I may be wrong though, I can't find that interview. I was at two of the 30th anniversary shows and they were great btw.

Got it.

I'm really hoping for new releases by Dodheimsgard and Abigor, some of my favourites when it comes to black metal

New Ad Nauseam album on its way too

Oh boy, had no idea about this. Loved the debut. Very excited.

This is the first year I can ever remember having nothing concrete to look forward to next year. Nothing set in stone yet.

Cannibal Corpse were in the studio many months ago now. Interestingly this will also be the first time they ever went over 3 calendar years between albums even though the last was November 2017.

Misery Index were reported to he writing in 2020

Suffocation recently posted studio footage

Jungle Rot are in the studio

Cryptopsy posted studio pictures

Sadly, that's all I know of right now. As far as bands I hope for due to long periods of silence

Leviathan will reach 6 years since Scar Sighted this year.

Dying Fetus will hit 4 years after a 5 year wait between albums.

Neurosis will be at 5 years since Fires Within Fires.

I realize Nails has been having trouble but they are about to be at 5 years without a new album

Immolation are at 4 years of no album

Let's see:

-Cannibal: Probably delayed a bit - my guess is that it's going to be announced shortly after the new Rivers of Nihil is announced so Metal Blade can have two huge spring releases. Late March to mid-April is my guess for the timeframe.
-Misery Index: Maybe by the end of 2021, but they work slowly these days and an early 2022 release isn't inconceivable.
-Suffocation: End of 2021 at the earliest, more likely 2022. They don't exactly work fast and that footage you probably saw was prepro in Hobbs' basement.
-Jungle Rot: Definitely, probably late spring.
-Cryptopsy: Don't hold your breath. They can't get out of their own way for anything and expecting a new Cryptopsy release of any sort before 2022 is naive at best.
-Leviathan: Who knows. Wrest does what he wants to do when he wants to do it.
-Dying Fetus: Probably by the second half of the year, maybe. They had like six songs by mid-2019, so they probably have a full album's worth of material, but it's a matter of getting into the studio.
-Neurosis: Maybe? They do what they want when they want to do it because they can afford to take their time. 2021 isn't a bad guess either way.
-Nails: If Todd wants to get it out, he'll get it out. Wouldn't be surprised to see it released in 2021.
-Immolation: Very likely was intended for 2020, but with Ross in Canada, Alex in DC, and Steve in Ohio, getting everyone in a room to rehearse and then record was probably not doable for most of 2020. I'll be extremely surprised if they don't release anything in 2021.

Phil is still in As I Lay Dying, it was their other guitarist Nick Hipa who quit. Maybe he still has some time to do Nails, but I kind of doubt he'd be able to be a full time member. I guess Todd could go with a session lineup if he really wanted to get an album out, though.

I do enjoy them but I like their first two a lot more.

In terms of other new releases, it looks like At the Gates are well underway recording their newest. A 2021 release probably isn't out of the question. I wouldn't say I'm highly anticipating a new one from them given that At War and To Drink were both pretty mediocre, but I'll be curious to check it out nonetheless.

At War ...is awesome and To Drink...is great as well, but its production/mixing does hold it back. Too muffled.

How many Haunt albums do you think we're gonna get?

It's probably borderline metal, but I quite liked the single from the new band White void of Lazare from Solefald/Borknagar, although I do wish he and Cornelius will record a new Solefald album soon.

Most likely, but if you want even more blind optimism, there's always The Kovenant releasing 'Aria Galactica' next year!

New Solefald is in the works. They haven't announced yet, but Lars told me a couple of weeks ago.

Depressed Mode is currently working on a new album
After a decade of hiatus, on september 2020 Deathdoom group Depressed Mode started working on their 3rd studio album in Ansa studio, Ulvila. Line up for the album is Teemu Heinola (guitars), Henri Hakala (bass), Iiro Aittokoski (drums) and vocals by founder Otto Salonen.
To differ from previous albums, guitarist Tomppa Turpeinen and Female vocalist Natalie Koskinen will not participate on the upcoming album.
”After consideration, we decided that we want to work on our new material with a line up that lives nearby each other so that we can take full advantage from our studio sessions and organize rehearsals, produce as a group etc.
We are still processing the new material and at this point I cannot even tell if there is going to be any female volcals on the new material.
Nata is currently working with her band Shape of despair and making the schedules work even without her are already a pain in the ass, so at this point we didn’t see any other options than to proceed with just the four of us”
”The new material sound like DM, but after a break this long with all of us working on other projects (music- and lifewise) the band sounds more mature. Also some of the songs have been simmering in my head for a decade so all the metawork has pretty much been done for a while. It almost seems as the whole recording process is just the cherry on top of the whole production!”
Release date has not been set yet and the band is currently in touch with labels and publishers to make sure the album will be available to our listeners worldwide.
Stay low, Stay safe.

Sigh just confirmed on their facebook page that there will be a new album coming out in 2021. Maybe it's time for me to dive back right back in to what these guys are doing because I haven't given them much attention since Scenes From Hell.

I don't know how many fans they have here, but Depressed Mode have reunited and are working on a new album with a 2021 release in mind. The new album apparently won't feature Natalie Koskinen's vocals though, mainly due to scheduling conflicts. From the post on their Facebook page, which also seems to hint at a new Shape of Despair album...
