Thought I'd take a look at albums I'm getting excited about/hoping to get released in 2021
Avenged Sevenfold - Last album "The Stage" was released in 2016 and they have been active on social media about their new album. From the sounds of it they know what they want to do but haven't recorded it yet. It sounds like they want to have a string section so it sounds pretty ambitious and exciting. They also say though that they want to release it when they can start touring again so who knows if it will make 2021 or not. I hope so.
The Dust Coda - Band I discovered a few years ago. A great rock and roll outfit and they are set for releasing their second album "Mojo Skyline" in March.
Foo Fighters - "Shame, Shame" was disappointing as the first single to be released from their new album which is due out February. But they are the Foo Fighters and there is bound to be at least some bangers on the new album
Ghost - No release date set but an album is due next year. They seem to be getting better and better so looking forward to see if they can keep the momentum going with the new album.
Greta van fleet - Singles "Age of Machine" and "Way to soon" sounding good. This is due out in May and is sounding promising.
Myles Kennedy - This one is recorded and in the bag. No release date at time of writing but says it is heavier and electric than his first solo album.
Mason Hill - The debut album by Mason Hill is a long time in the making and was delayed by covid. The singles off this were sounding huge so looking forward to see if they can make the album match high expectations.
Nosound/Giancarlo Erra - Great band which is lead by Giancarlo Erra. Giancarlo has stated on social media that both a solo album and a Nosound album are on the cards for 2021. Looking forward to see what direction he takes on these new albums. No release date at time of writing.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - This one is more of hope rather than knowing whether they are going to release an album in 2021. With the return of John Frusciante I really can't imagine they have been sitting doing nothing this year even with Frusicante releasing a solo album.
Royal Blood - "Troubles coming" was in my top 10 songs of last year. No release date for the new album yet but its on the cards.
Tremonti - He is using the same studio as Myles did his 2nd solo album to record Tremonti's 5th album. Hopefully this will land in 2021 and knowing Mark Tremonti's workrate you wouldn't put it past him.
Wayward sons - I watched a Planet rock lockdown gig this year where these guys were headlining and they were excellent. They have announced a 2021 UK tour to go with the new album but doesnt seem to have a release date for their 3rd album yet but they do say its due out in 2021
Steven Wilson - Pretty much the god of prog but seems to be going in a rock pop direction. Still as adventurous as ever in his music and looks like more keyboards to appear in this album than before. "Future bites" due for release end of January.
With the lack of touring in 2020 I think their will be a bunch of albums in 2021 but these are the main ones I am looking forward to.
