Forgot about RTJ3 If a Mod wants to modify the thread title that everyone sees before clicking on the thread, sure we could do that.
All I care about for now is the new Panic album. I've heard positive reactions from the advance reviewers and I really like Brendon's direction. Hype hype hype. Anything else that comes after Panic is just a plus. I guess I'm excited for Radiohead and Kanye. Oh yeah, also really hyped about the new Enter Shikari single coming soon. The music video wrapped up a week or two ago so it's not far off.
Metallica [Looking pretty certain now] islnds - History of Robots [second solo album from Scale the Summit's Chris Letchford] Down - IV.3 [ep] Russian Circles Suns of the Tundra - EP [Multiple EP's? album?] Tool [?] Alice in Chains? [writing] Christy Moore? LP? Mutefish?
Besides a new album from Linkin Park, I'm hoping that Wolves at the Gate will at least release a new EP, though Reprise (the latest EP) was just released earlier this year. I think 2016 may be an album year, so I'll have to check the latest news. Oh, I also want to see Rammstein release something, even a single, next year, as it's been over 6 years since their last main album. I read awhile back that there were rumors of the band going back into the studio in September, but I never confirmed if that actually happened or not. I hope something happens next year. Edit: Nothing conclusive with WATG, just more touring mainly. As for Rammstein, there's a good chance that new material is indeed underway, according to an October article from Blabbermouth. Fun Fact: Rammstein's guitarist Richard Kruspe does not like the recording process with his fellow band members, on account of different "egos".
