Upcoming Releases 2026

[Pagan Saviour]

Anything in particular anyone looking forward to? Scanning the lists of releases there and there isn't a whole lot metal wise that I'm overly excited for.

Mayhem's Liturgy of Death is out at the end of the month, I'll definitely pick it up even though the track they released was dull.


I am curious to hear the new COC double album, Mike Dean is now out of the picture and with Reed sadly deceased things don't look the best but maybe with their backs to the wall they've pulled something special out of the bag.

Bölzer.
Callous Master.
Zemial would be nice at this stage. Will it happen?...
Agatus?? I'm probably dreaming there, but a new one would be welcome...
Solstice will hopefully put something new out. Who knows.
Mourning Beloveth perhaps?
All those new Burzum demos recorded properly,  ie. in Grieghallen!

The new Worm is out end of the month I think. Already leaked online and sounds fantastic, but looking forward to getting a proper copy

Beyond Creation are currently recording so they should have something out soon enough

And maybe this might be the year the new King Diamond and Mercyful Fate albums finally get finished

[OpenSores]

I'm looking forward to new one from The Ruins of Beverast, yeah looking forward to hearing what Bölzer come up with next. Vreid also have one due out possibly March?

Mourning Beloveth have a new EP good to go apparently.

Cruel Force and Degial to add to the already mentioned.

[Snare]

Yeah I'm really looking forward to Worm and Vreid also.

Fair play to Worm for getting picked up by Century Media.

The new Vreid track is great, more raw and epic. Back on Indie Recordings so I guess the Season of Mist push didn't work out. 6th March release IIRC.

I'm unsure where the "new" Kanonfieber sits - a 2 track ep with bonus, or a new album where the re-recorded tracks are noticeably different?

[Circlepit]

Down will finally release a new full length after COC release their new album.
There's bound to be a new Terror album which will be more laid back than the last one.
New Madball and hopefully the new Thorns album will arrive.
Shadows Fall as well.
I'd love a new MoonCitadel album as well.

[open face surgery]

Wasn't there a new Mooncitadel just released?

[Anvil]

Tailgunner are releasing their second album in February, thought their debut was really good, so I shall be getting that. 

[open face surgery]

Just watched a Worm video. Find it too bizarre that they sound like that now. Weren't they a death doom band?

[Circlepit]

Wasn't there a new Mooncitadel just released?

It seems there was, that completely went over my head. I didn't hear it at all.

[Eoin McLove]

There was a new Mooncitadel released early last year and there's a new one on the way too.

[Mithrandir]

Another year waiting for a new Dead Congregation album 🥀

[mickO)))]

New Exhumed album out this month.
