10 Metal Bands that need a new album out … right f#%&$!% now!!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I didn’t want to state the obvious, but if you were holding your breath for a new King Diamond album … so am I lol. Another obvious one is Anthrax, long overdue!

[@jbanderson5331]

I’m surprised you didn’t put W.A.S.P. as it’s been 9 years, so almost a whole decade since Golgotha. Reidolized was 2018 but I don’t really count that one.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

@jbanderson5331 Oh yeah! Good pick, it’s been so long I forgot about them lol.

[@zandig666]

[@anthonybone6736]

Hallows Eve and Celtic Frost. Hopefully 🙏🏼 we

[@davidf.1226]

Hey Darcy! Well, you have pretty much summoned it up for me along with the additions of King, Mercy and Anthrax. Vader absolutely no doubt. You turned me on to Bullet. I would recommend anybody check out Bullet. They are a fist pumping, air guitaring good time! Whenever I listen to them, I have to grab the broom out of the closet. Lol... I really enjoyed the last Deep Purple album and I like the new single, so I am going to add that one to my list and Stryper. Alice in Chains. Darcy take care my friend, and as always stay heavy!

[@heikoflottmann8895]

Hallo my friend I´m a huge Pro Pain Fan ! Last Album " Voice of Rebellion " (2015) In August I will see them Live here in Germany !😌 Bye and cheers,Heiko

[@FFF24-7]

Great vid thanks. For me above all else I’m wanting new Anthrax. 8 years and counting 😩

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years or more since the ‘Onslaught’… ‘Sodom’ & ‘Testament’ albums were released… & what’s worse is that I still don’t own them!😳Good to see you as always Darcy!🤘🏻

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

You’re knee deep in the ‘orrible stuff, it’s what you love! I totally understand. The Testament is easy to get, the other 2 will become scarce because of the labels they’re on. Hope you have a great weekend 🤘 Cheers brother

[@guto5986]

Very nice that you showed Onslaught and Exumer!!!! Warbringer, Harlott, Eternal Champion, Visigoth, Opeth, Nile, Coroner, Mayhem, Gamma Ray, Helstar, Angel Witch, Manowar, Savage Messiah, Dismember...the list is huge!!!!!

[@jontavares3524]

Another great show Darcy, thanks! Hoping for new albums from Death Angel, Opeth, Savatage and Testament! Keep on Rockin' 🤘

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks for the kind words 🤘 A new Savatage would be awesome, definitely a day one purchase for this guy!

[@MrZenkman]

Symphony X is going on nine years since their last release. That’s starting to get a bit ridiculous..

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Darcy!!! cool idea and great list of band that need a new album ASAP...... it was so nice to see bands like Exumer in your list a super underrated band, also Onslaught. New Armored Saint!!! yes and Death Angel and how about new W.A.S.P?? or Satan?? just to name a few..... cheers and be well

[@GRockVC]

Some good choices there Darcy with Sodom, Onslaught, Possessed, Death Angel, Testament and Exhumer, all well overdue for a new album. The last album these bands put out have all been very high standard, so hopefully they can keep the momentum going into a new album.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I was anticipating a busier year for new releases, but it turns out that I’ve only picked up 6 so far!

[@Gregbaltzer]

Agree with a lot of those, but I wouldn't be upset if they all took a little longer because I'm almost caught up. I just got the Sodom 40 year album and 1982 EP. I'm ready for a new Unleashed album. I could use a new Satyricon and Orchid album too. Exciter, DBC, Benediction, and Sacrifice are all working on new albums.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

That Sodom 40 Years At War is some of best re-recorded material I’ve ever heard, up there with First Strike Still Deadly! Exciter & Sacrifice would be nice too. Have a great week Greg 🤘

[@axelfeiss1130]

Good list, also personally waiting for new Grand Magus, Masterplan, Mob Rules albums

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Oh yes Masterplan is definitely due, hope Rick Altzi is still on vocals! Thanks for taking the time out to watch & comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

Great list,Darcy. I think Bullet are the only band im not aware of. I recently started picking up some RAM albums ( Death, Rod and the new one). Got tickets to see Testament & Kreator later this year ( Anthrax are joining them as well, so should be a killer show). Saw Possessed last year, excellent gig, that last Possessed album is great.🍻🤘

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I remember you saying you were going to look into Ram, Svbversvm is probably my favourite. When you add Anthrax to that show it’s even better! Have a great week J-Mac 🤘

[@MarcoReusel]

I go check them out. Thanks Darcy!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

You are very welcome, thank you checking a few out! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Marco

[@kaibaman87]

2 band's that i hope will release new music any day now is French power metal band Heavenly as their latest studio release Carpe Diem is 2009 and Finnish Melodic Death/Symphonic Death metal band Eternal Tears of Sorrow and their latest release Saivon Lapsi is 2013 so Over 10 Years and heavenly's case almost 15 Years. Also Sweden Power/Trashmetal band Morgana Lefay as their Latest Studio Recording is 2007 Aberrations Of the mind.

[@srh361]

Check out the band, All For The King, it's more of a traditional heavy metal but my God I can't stop listening to them!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Ok I will, thanks for the recommendation 🤘

[@albertampel4175]

For me it´s the first three Vader albums, we´ve been on tour with them two times in 1997 and 1998. I´ve seen them perform those old songs countless times and love the guys Peter had with him back then. R.I.P. Doc! Those "smaller" bands like Bullet or Ram are my age and they don´t live off of their music, they have families and a job. On top of that the years 2020 and 2021 hurt them big times as well as the fact you just mentioned with people not buying much physical media anymore. On Death Angel, I think Mark´s work with Kerry King slowed down the work on a new DA album. Let´s hope he shouted out all the aggression and get´s back to a more memorable singing style with DA!!!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Vader rules! You might find this surprising, but I have very little interest in that Kerry King album. Put it this way it’s not on pre-order 😂 Cheers brother

[@kowalsolosolo]

Oh,yeah,Vader! Definitely,the new album is long overdue! Greetings from Poland,by the way! Have you ever checked out another legendary band from Poland-Behemoth? Nergal and his comrades should release a new album this year.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

No I haven’t checked Behemoth out that closely, they might be too much for me lol. Vader on the other hand can do no wrong, love those guys! Thanks for always taking part Piotr 🤘 Have a great week :))

[@TheMetalWarlord]

Yep, I can definitely get behind all of these picks w/ the exception of Vader and Bullet, neither of which I've heard. You mentioned King Diamond and Anthrax in the comments which...yep, absolutely (Anthrax is my favorite band of all time), though I'd take a new Mercyful Fate over a new King Diamond. Personally, I'd also love a new Destruction album and Zetro is saying we might get a new Exodus album by the end of the year. Other than that... - Gamma Ray - Helstar - Vicious Rumors - The reunited Crimson Glory - Helloween - Grave Digger - Running Wild Re: Geneis XIX, I much prefer Tom's "shouting voice" we got on Code Red and M-16 to his "shrieking voice", so while I liked Genesis XIX a lot, it didn't really stick out as this big "return to form" to me like it did for a lot of other people. Idunno...I'm probably in the minority here. Anyways, take care.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Yes let’s hope Gamma Ray is not done for good! Last Running Wild album was in 2021, I’m confident you will see a new one this year. Thanks for the great comment 🤘 Cheers from Planet6Strings

[@JoshKeech]

Great video Darcy! Definitely agree on Onslaught, Death Angel and Testament, really need new ones from them! Generation Antichrist is my favourite album by Onslaught, I've been wanting to pick it up for years! Vader and Sodom I'm pretty new to, only have 1 album from each (Don't have the latest Sodom but I have the latest Vader). Would be cool to see a new album for both. Never listened to Armoured Saint or Exhumer, and I haven't heard much Possessed. Would be interesting if they made new albums though. The big ones for me would be Killswitch Engage (2019), Trivium (2021), Havok (2020), Exodus (2021) and Anthrax (2016) 😊🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@zandig666]

Diamond and mercyfulF

[@tainted_lord87]

Great list, Darcy! I agree, Vader, Sodom, Death Angel, Testament, Possessed should release a new album by now.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks Tony 🤘 Stay Heavy out east!

[@boscocfh]

All great choices there Darcy. A couple i can think of off the top of my head are Alice in Chains, Annihilator, Corrosion Of Conformity, Harlott, Sacred Reich, Skeletonwitch, and many many more. Fingers crossed! Hope all is well up north!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Annihilator definitely crossed my mind, I’ll just be happy to finally see those reissues come out … that we’ve been waiting years for! Everything is good here thank you for asking, I hope all is well with you too 🤘

[@jcrockandmetalreviews]

For me just off the top of my head would be Opeth, Anthrax, Testament (Chuck Billy says this year but we're almost at the halfway point then we haven't heard anything) and Helloween (the last one was about 3 years ago).

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Anthrax is long overdue! Helloween should be mid 2025 I’m thinking. Have a great week 🤘 Cheers from Canada

[@stevenvalenti3722]

The only group I don't know out of the ten is Bullet. But I definitely agree we need another album from all those groups. When showed Vader, Death Angel and Armored Saint it instantly made me feel like listening to those groups because I haven't listened to those three groups in a little while now. Verygood video brother Darcy take care my friend.🙂🍻🤘

[@jameshowe8238]

I read that iron maiden got top secret plans for next year. I'm hoping it's a new album. These guys never let me down

[@mmmnuts5645]

ANCIIENTS (Vancouver, BC) has a new album coming out soon - you often hear of amazing artists that don't receive the recognition they deserve.. I believe this is one of those bands. Thanks again for another great video! Cheers from Texas

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

This is exactly why I do these type of videos, so much can be shared in the comment section. Thanks for the kind words 🤘 Have a great week my friend :))

[@_NoizzMaker_]

13:05 - oooo Darcy, i just have to say, I 100% agree with you. So much same sounding albums from to many legendary bands today 😢 Maybe idea for your new video in future? I can say Accept is very good example - their last 6 albums sounsa just same for me 😐

[@jimthar17]

Onslaught is awesome. Sounds of Violence is another great one from them.

[@bennyfrey8411]

Thank you so much for mentioning (and showing in your background) Onslaught! I think.more people should know them because they are absolutely amazing! Best Thrash out of Europe and i would also love a new album from them. Cheers man.

[@speedking4951]

Great video Darcy. Totally agree with your list of bands. One band i would love to see reunite and release new material would be german band Vanize. Great group fronted by Udo Dirkschneider's brother Peter who sounds exactly like him! I would love to see Vicious Rumors and Laaz Rockit release some new material. Have a great metal week brother 🤘 🍻!

[@JosephKissSr.]

I was just thinking the other day we were due for a new Sodom album. With the last one, I remember jamming that in the car all time running errands and picking up take out food during the pandemic. Armored Saint does indeed kill it live. Just saw them a few weeks ago with Queensryche - was a great show.

[@andjusticeforearl4742]

Really looking forward to a new RAM album, The Throne Within is my favorite album from them. The closing track Ravnfell is killer! Armored Saint is a band that I have missed. Another one that I will get around to one day🤷‍♂️

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Oh yeah you’ll get their with Armored Saint, I know that because I’ll be here to remind you 😂 Cheers brother

[@markyogapark]

Hi Darcy, waiting for a new Sacrifice album! Love The Ones I Condemn but that was released a long time ago!

[@leocoh89]

Hi darcy, I’m definitely a death metal dabbler due to the vocals but Vader are on the right side of death, so to speak. As are Graceless from the Netherlands who are amazing. Looking forward to more from onslaught too. Tight last album. Keep up the excellent work sir.

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Wow some of these it’s hard to believe how long since the last album seems like only a couple of years but in reality it’s way longer 🤘Vader I need to dig into a lot more, only have one album from them. Great vid mate

[@houstonburkhead5188]

I'm looking forward to the new Evildead album that is coming out in just a week or two. I thought the new Atrophy and Morbid Saint albums that recently came out were both really solid. I'm also hoping for a new Possessed. That would be great.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

The new Atrophy actually exceeded my expectations, really good comeback album. Yes bring on a new Possessed! Thanks for hanging out with me, always appreciated 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy

[@michaelschultz3921]

I have listened to Vader before . I like Sodom and there latest album .Death Angel is very good but they changed but still good. I have Armored Saint " March of the Saint" in vinyl . I love Testament. I've got every Testament album on mp3 . Overkill just about have every album but Overkill's album"Wings of War" seems like it's going in a different direction. I picky with my Death Metal but I enjoy a lot of Trash Metal like Xentrix British Thrash and German like some you mentioned including Destruction.

[@eerievon2208]

i’m waiting for Death Angel’s new one.. n there’s this band, Demilich.. they only released one album bk in ‘93 called ‘nespithe’… the band still doing gig.. just not sure why can’t they write new materials… would love to hv new album frm them.. n was abt to mention Nocturnus AD before realising they hv released a new one… 😅…. yup.. will get that latest Exumer.. i only hv till ‘the raging tides’.. n def will wait for their new one… not forgetting Corrosion of Conformity.. hopefully there’s a new one coming.. 😅

[@JamesThomas-dz4vj]

Great video as always, Darcy! I am a HUGE fan of Bullet! Glad to see someone else who loves them as well. They are criminally underrated. I have all 6 of their albums and an EP. Now that it's been 6 years since their last release, I'm starting to lose hope that they're still together, but let's keep our fingers crossed for a new Bullet album here in 2024! I'm also a huge fan of Exumer. It looks like, as of this very month, they're working on a new album, so hopefully we'll see it later this year! Testament needs to hurry up as well. I checked their website, and it looks like Testament's 2024 schedule is packed the rest of the way - basically from next month up through October/November. I sure hope they can find time to get a new album out. And finally, PLEASE can we get a new Death Angel album?? Of the "Next Big 4" in American thrash's classic era, Death Angel comes second only to Overkill for me. Both of them are in MY Big 4! I know Mark is busy with Kerry King at the moment, but I hope he can devote enough time to getting a new Death Angel album out. I have absolutely zero interest in the new Kerry King project, so I'm just trying to be patient! Cheers!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Let’s hope Bullet is still together and working on the new music. I think they’re awesome & they don’t sound like anybody else! I’m with you on the Kerry King album, less than zero interest! I sure appreciate you taking the time for such a detailed comment 🤘 Cheers James

100% agree on Armored Saint and Ram. Possessed in on tour with Testament and Kreator later this yr, so don't know if that means we'll be getting albums from one, both or neither.
