Albums I am looking forward to in 2022

 Alter Bridge - Despite members being busy with their own projects at the moment, the plan is to meet in April and start the process of writing an album and get it out Autumn/winter

Asylums - This albums done and will be released in 2022.  Keeping the pattern going by releasing an album every 2 years. Hopefully this one, being their 4th will give them the recognition they deserve.

Avengned Sevenfold - This has been quite a long time in the making as I think it was about 2016 when their last album "The Stage" came out.  They have been getting into the world of NFTs recently and seem on the brink of the album being ready and with festival dates booked for the summer it looks like the album will drop in 2022

Boston Manor - After an EP in 2021.  And saying they have been busy in the studio. Does a new album loom for 2022? or will it be the year after?

Bring me the Horizon - Not exactly sure of timescales but they have another 3 releases due in the Post Human series so would expect 2022 to see one of them

Ghost - They have already dropped a few singles in 2021. Although no album announced yet, they have a tour booked for spring so it can't be long before an album is annonced.

Mars Volta/At the drive in/Omar - Omar has released so much in his career but 2021 seemed like quite a quiet year for him. Yes Mars Volta did release the box set but as far as my memory goes that was it. I would be surprised if one of Omar's projects didn't release something in 2022.

Muse - This one is pure speculation but I think it was 2018 since "Simulation Theory" came out so would not be surprised if they released an album in 2022.

Nosound - Giancarlo Erra has been busy on solo projects but has said to expect a new Nosound album in 2022

Porcupine Tree  One of the few albums I am looking forward to that actually has a release date which  is June.  This came out of nowhere as I thought Porcupine Tree was done and Steven Wilson was quite happy with his solo stuff. But this material has been around a while and is going to see the light of day.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Semi speculation.  They do have a stadium tour booked and I would be very surprised if it was a greatest hits tour. Hopefully a new album to go with it with Frusciante back in the fold.

Shinedown - Seems like a new album is in the can. American tour booked called "Revalations Tour".  Wonder if the artwork and name is going to be the same as the unannonced album.

Slipknot - They did release a single 2021, and have got plenty of gigs booked for 2022 so new album could very well be on the way.

Taylor Swift - She has now released 4 albums in the last 2 years. 2 new ones and 2 re-releases.  Would be nice to get a new album again but the gems she is unearthing with these re-releases, something is better than nothing.

Tenille Townes - She released a few singles in 2021 so quite possibly her second album could be on the cards in 2022.

Those Damn Crows - Guitars and Vocals done for their 3rd album.  Sounds like its almost in the bag so just waiting for release date to be announced

White Lies  -  Couple of singles already released and album and tour coming early in the new year

Wombats -  Last mentioned but this one is due out first.  3 singles already released and a release date in January
