And hopefully as much new surprises.

P.S. I purposely left out Blind Guardian.

I like this list. Thanks for the update

You're welcome. I usually have a habit of keeping track of the bands I care for, you know, like checking their website once in a while. And like someone already mentioned it there is a good "upcoming albums" list at metalstorm.

With Heavenly it's not a matter of liking or not liking. I'm totally indifferent towards this band, mostly because they can't impress me with anything, besides a couple of songs from each album that I rarely listen. Heavenly is just one of all those bands, if you know what I mean.

same here I think, I got Sign Of The Winner, liked it when I listened to it, but never wanted to play it again for some reason.

Jag Panzer
Human Fortress
Dio
Jon Oliva's Pain

The new Olivia can be pre-ordered from cdinzane.com
I did not know Human Fortress was coming out with a new one. that would be great because the 2nd release was one of the best power metal albums made

sorry, but I have no idea if Human Fortress are doing anything, just hoping, and I think both their albums are some of the best power metal ever made.

I hate when I get into that mindset about a band. Even when I'm aware that I'm doing it, I just can't shake it off. Bands I remember enjoying like Dungeon, Black Majesty and Cryonic Temple get so little rotation in my CD player. Damn psychology.

If so post some links please so we can read about it. This is one of my favorite Power metal bands. There website is rarely active :(

I think The Voice (MR poster) told me about it. He said Defies has enough material for four albums. I also think I read that somewhere on Blabbermouth.

well yeah, but when you got about 750 CDs it is bound to happen.

Cool a new Scar Symmetry, I remember buying their album because the little ad sticker on it specified that it was similar to "Soilwork and early In Flames" rather than just saying In Flames... I thought it was funny for some reason.

A new Jag Panzer alright 8)

Korpiklaani is definitely my most anticipated. I love those guys.

That fact there is no Korpiklaani reviews on this site is a tragedy!

WTF is Korpiklaani? A Finntroll clone?

If you haven't heard them, then you need to check them out. I think they are being a little over hyped by some of the people on this forum, but they are still a very good band. They make for a good listen from time to time.

yeah, I just did, they sound like Finntroll, but better because of clean vocals and English lyrics.

No. Overall I think they're extremely overrated. Bloody Kisses had some amazing tunes on it, but even though I find that to be their best album, I still think it had a lot of turds on it. The same goes for the rest of their material that came after, I just don't think the good songs on those albums measure up to the good songs on Bloody Kisses.

And their first two albums are fucking horrible, I think. And Carnivore sucks, too. Hehehe.
