Quite a list, isn't it? I'm the most excited for Insomnium out of all of them, and I've been on a little Insomnium kick lately which may or may not be influencing my excitement. We've also got Lord Mantis, Edguy's incredibly awesome album Space Police: Defenders of the Crown which you will absolutely love as much as I do if Iron Maiden is your thing. Aborted's new album should be pretty badass.

Also radio rockers Saliva are apparently still around, which I was not aware of at all though I admit to have jammed to "Click Click Boom" once or twice in my younger days. (Who hasn't, really?) And if you really must, there's some new Whitechapel too. Meh.

So there you have it... all the new new stuff coming at you this coming Tuesday in a neat, tidy little list. Count me glad that this is also the day I pick up my new glasses. What more could I ask for?

Enjoy!
