Top 10 Most Anticipated Rock and Metal Albums of 2018

The Top Ten
1 Firepower - Judas Priest

Just listened to Lightning Strike. Sounds like this album is gonna be better than Redeemer of Souls.

Best one they have put out since Painkiller!

Ah can't wait until this

Release Date: March 9

2 TBA - Possessed

Yes the same posssesed that made Seven Churches is supposedly going to make their 3rd studio album this year

That's gonna be REALLY interesting! Nobody expected that...Thanks, christangrant.

This will be their first album in 32 years. That's so crazy!

3 Diluvium - Obscura
4 Automata - Between the Buried and Me

Thanks, cjWriter1997 - this goes to my remix, very high. Also, I noticed that at least 5 anticipated albums will come out on March 9th... Is this some magical date?
I immediately gave a listen to Condemned to the Gallows and I liked it (this is the type of music I currently like - proggy with harsh vocals)

5 TBA - Nile
6 TBA - Tool

This better be legit. Stop toying with my heart Tool and give me the new album already!

Finally, Maynard James Keenan decided to stop being a lazy cuck.

Drummer Danny Carey assured journalists it would "definitely" be out this year, hopefully by mid-2018. We'll see :)
Their previous album (10,000 Days) came out in 2006. Was long ago...

7 TBA - Amon Amarth
8 TBA - Children of Bodom

They are hoping to release it in late 2018.

9 What Happens Next - Joe Satriani

I already heard 2 songs: awesome!

10 TBA - Megadeth

This album will feature a new drummer

The Contenders
11 TBA - Rammstein

My prediction: the album will be certified platinum in Germany before its official release, on preorders alone. When the most popular band of an entire country releases new music after 9 years, this is something huge.
Even all of their live albums and best ofs topped the charts. Imagine what a full blown new studio album will do.

12 Year of the Tiger - Myles Kennedy

Release Date: March 9

13 TBA - Behemoth
14 Trident Wolf Eclipse - Watain
15 TBA - Alice In Chains
16 Reverence - Parkway Drive
17 The Shadow Theory - Kamelot
18 TBA - Sodom
19 A Million Degrees - Emigrate
20 TBA - Slayer

Kerry King assured metalheads there would be a new album in 2018. I believe it's true because Slayer have a wealth of material left from the sessions for their last record, Repentless.
"There are six or eight songs that are recorded - some with vocals, some with leads, but all with keeper guitar, drums and bass," said King.
"So when those songs get finished lyrically, if the lyrics don't change the songs, they'll be ready to be on the next record. So we already have more than half a record complete, if those songs make it. This is actually the most prepared we've ever been for the next record in our history; there's no reason to not do more work, because it's already more than halfway done. Just write four or five new songs, and give the others some attention, and we'll be good to go."

Update: they announced they break up in 2018...

21 TBA - Halestorm
22 Mania - Fall Out Boy
23 Rivalen Und Rebellen - Frei. Wild
24 Vale - Black Veil Brides
25 Die Unendlichkeit - Tocotronic
