Time to consider what may be on it's way in 2018....

Firstly the definite releases: Gwenno has a new album out in March and this time it's all sung in Cornish(!), Blueneck are confirming a new album this year and the live album from Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas is due in April

Next are the possibles: A debut album from Bryde is very probable, A Perfect Circle have teased with a few singles so a full album may be imminent and a new Amorphis album is mooted

Finally the serial offenders:

• Julianne Regan - Demo's were uploaded to Bandcamp 18 months ago and nothing more
• Eldritch promised an album if Trump was elected 15 months ago
• Fish has been promising Weltschmerz for over 2 years (but at least he has a title !)
• It's now been 13 years since Mourning Sun so that new Nephilim album should be out soon
