Upcoming in 2023

It's about time to start looking forward to what's coming out next year. Like last year, this topic helped me keep abreast of stuff in a way I don't manage by myself.

Today I preordered two new albums from Ulthar, to be release together on February 17th. I'm a big fan of the first two albums and there's not too many artists I'd drop 60e on blind but there you go.

I loved the first Ulthar, but found the 2nd one a bit hard to get into. I must try it again some time... I got those two announcements from 20 Buck Spin earlier, just seems a bit mad releasing two separate albums at the same time...

What I'm looking forward to at the moment...

Unto Others - Strength II... Deep Cuts Jan. release.

Oak - Disintegrate (now on Season of Mist like their other band, Gaerea). Feb. release

I believe there will also be releases from Eternal Storm and Officium Triste at some stage 🤞

What's the story with Strength II? Stuff that didn't make the album? A new full length from them would be most welcome. I have yet to pick up the first one actually.

[Snare]

Yeah the band wanted to do a double album, but Roadrunner only wanted to do a single vinyl. So they ended up sliciing it up, but claim it's equally as strong (pun not intended I believe!). They released it for Record Store Day last month, but general release next month.

Mana is fantastic. Nightfall and Give Me the Night absolutely rock

New album would indeed be great but I guess this buys them a year after all their touring.

[Eoin McLove]

Oh cool, so it's not just demos and odds and sods but all new material. I'll keep an eye out for it.

[Circlepit]

The 2 eps are available on one disc now as well. It's brilliant.

[Eoin McLove]

Nice. I'll have to do a little sweep of that stuff in the new year.

Majesties, new melodeath project announced yesterday again on 20BS.
My disappointment that it takes the place of any new Obsequiae for a while is soothed by how class it sounds.
Essentially Obsequiae and Inexorum coming together to make early/mid 90s In Flames or the like. Looking forward to it.
