New for 2023

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

A summary of new releases in 2023. Confirmed, rumoured and speculated. One or two omissions.

We could use this as a platform for albums that we're waiting for the most!

As I posted on the Best Albums thread here's stuff that I'm looking forward to this year

Blaze is recording a new album as we speak.
Alice's album should come out next year
Delain's new album is coming
KK's Priest is coming
Tim Ripper Owens but that'll be at the end of the year I think.
Death Angel maybe
Judas Priest maybe (NOPE 2024 release for this one)
Doctor Butcher maybe
Solitude Aeturnus maybe
Archon Angel maybe
Doro maybe

And ofcourse the Tony Martin Era Boxset that Tony Iommi confirmed in his New Years Video is actually coming out this year!

It'll be interesting to see what (if any) extras we're going to be getting. It would be super cool to get some live stuff added...maybe even a full show from the Headless Cross tour.
Also I wonder will Cross Purposes Live make an appearance...it was never released on cd alone so who knows...it would be nice to get that as well...and the DVD/Bluray ofcourse as well.
Forbidden got the remix so it'll be exciting to hear how that'll sound.
Also I'm hoping the Japanese bonus tracks for CP and Forbidden are going to be included as well as Cloak And Daggar from HC single. We shall see.

Black Sky Giant dropped an album yesterday, I'm liking this one from the start: https://blackskygiant.bandcamp.com/album/primigenian

is that Lindsay Buckingham on guitar?

I'M KIDDING

It's got an interesting vibe - since I moved into the modern era, gear-wise, I can now play these things on my main system with the click of a mouse. Really helps, because this is the kind of music that if I heard it through puny PC speakers would sound like crap to me.

And I am really looking forward to the Martin era stuff coming out!

Unfortunately Tony didn't mention anything about a Born Again album remix coming out this year.  So it may not be happening until next year, if it does come to pass.

I ponder if it'll ever come out...It would kind of fitting for this year being the 40th anniversary but I think he would have mentioned about it...

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

There will be a Dark Side of the Moon 50th Anniversary Release in March (I think), not quite sure what it will include.

Be nice if it came with a photo of the dark side of the moon.

I can't imagine what they would include in a 50th anniversary release of DSOTM that hasn't already been released twelve times over.

Nude photos of Waters and Gilmour lounging on a moon rover?

A 2023 calendar from Hipgnosis with all the days in random order?

David Pattillo is working on a new album, sounds like it may be quite tasty, based on this track.

2 more new albums announced

The Damned - Darkadelic
Hawkwind - The Future Never Waits

both coming out 28th April.

I was a little disappointed with Hawkwind's lockdown album, hopefully this one will be better.

[Zzzptm]

I'm ready for another Damned album!

Found these guys in a Bandcamp recommendation, I am really digging their grooves. Beautiful early 70s hard rock/hard prog sound.

Just pre-ordered

Yes - Mirror to the Sky

Due 19th May. Only Steve Howe remains from the original line-up, but the first release from it is highly rated.
