Wish list for 2015... Like a Christmas list, only better!

So here I am again... Dropping metal science on you! Hopefully introducing you to bands that you never heard of that will get your head to bang... and melt your face!

This post is going to be dedicated to records I want to see come out this year.  Some of these I know for a fact will exist... Some I'm just hoping to see...  All of them are excellent metal that we should be glad to have in our lives!

So here we go!

Wishlist 2015 edition!

1) Megiddo- the Holocaust Messiah:

This is one the albums I have been waiting, not so patiently for, for about 12 years now.  Those of you who know Megiddo know they gave us 2 amazing records of 1st wave style black metal in 2001 and 2003 and then dropped off the face of the planet.  Chorazaim joined Sepulchre which, while fine, just didn't scratch the itch for Megiddo.  News of Megiddo's reactivation came in late 2013.  If the metal gods are just and true, we should be visited with a fantastic slab of real black metal from Megiddo this year! If so, my life would only improve!

2) Obsequiae- Untitled:

I don't know the name of this record but if its as good as "Suspended..."; we are in for a treat.  The 2011 debut was a massive atmospheric metal record that proved you could still be atmospheric without being watered down with melody and you could still be very original.  Its a constant on any of my playlists and represents on of the best records of this decade.  I cannot wait for this record!

3) Ranger- Where Evil Dwells:
A band I am truly not shy in my regard for.  Excellent raw speed metal done totally correct.  Been looking for this album ever since I heard Knights of Darkness!

4)Amon- Brana Do Pekla:

Anyone who knows me, knows my favorite schools of black metal are the Greek and Czech schools.  These schools really understand what Black Metal is, in my humble opinion.  It has the darkness that should be found in Black Metal but does not forsake the riffs!! I have heard one song and it already blows me away! Keep your eyes open for this one!

5) Wreodan Healh- No idea what title will be:

I reviewed their demo and really it is excellent.  They are working on a full length that will hopefully be released this year! If so, its a blind buy for me... but so is all of this stuff!

6) Ares Kingdom- The Unburiable Dead:

If you don't know who Ares Kingdom is... Well, you just need to fix that! Seriously a magnificent old school Death/Thrash band featuring members of Order From Chaos! YOU HAD BETTER KNOW WHO THEY ARE! New record that I'm sure will blow my socks off... so it will with you!

7) Death Beast- The Onslaught:

You! Go check out Death Beast! Now! This is another record I've been waiting forever for.  The Wakening was released on an unsuspecting world 10 years ago. According to Vic's Facebook page he's  making slow progress.  Here's hoping for a 2015 release!

8) Planet Gemini- The Midnight Channel:

WHAT!?! These guys are still at it! NO WAY!!! Yep, expecting some great old school doom here! This guy specialize in HEAVY, SLOW, riffy doom.  Great stuff! and I am so glad they are back!

9) Iron Void- Doomsday:

Releasing the second best doom record of last year, we already get a full blast of amazing classic doom from this English camp.  Seriously, we need more trad doom bands that rock like this and get albums out this fast! So looking forward to it!

10) Goat of Mendes- No title yet:
I had no idea these guys were still around nor that they had developed such an original sound! This one will be excellent folks!

Well, there you have it.  My wish list for the year.  As I said I have no idea if and when some of these are coming out, but if these all make it out this year, and barring a total surprise, this will also be my top list this year.  Later today, there will be reviews for Monolith and Bloodscribe.
