Ni še znano ali Celtic Frost bodo izdali nov album ali ne. A njihov frontman Tom Gabriel Fischer pravi, da če ga bodo, ne bo nujno izdan pri Noise Records. Pravi, da se več založb zanima za nov material, ki naj bi bil po njegovih besedah njihov najboljši po albumu Into The Pandemonium iz leta 1987. /M.P./

25. marca bodo svoj prvenec izdali Dead Soul Tribe – band Damona Gravesa, bivšega Psychotic Waltz pevca. Track lista albuma je: Powertrip, Comin' Down, Anybody There, The Haunted, The Drowning Machine, You, Under The Weight Of My Stone, Once, One Bullet, Empty, Cry For Tomorrow, Into... (bonus), Into The Spiral Cathedral (bonus). /M.P./

David Coverdale je izjavil, da bo njegov naslednji solo album dosti trši in bolj metalski, kot Into The Light iz leta 2000. /M.P./

Spomladi bo izšla prva epizoda rock opere, trilogije z naslovom Genius. V prvi trilogiji A Human Into Dreams bodo nastopali: Mark Boals (ex- Yngwie Malmsteen, Ring Of Fire), Lana Lane, Daniel Gildenlow (Pain Of Salvation), Chris Boltendahl (Grave Digger), John Wetton (Asia, Uriah Heep), Steve Walsh (Kansas), Oliver Hartman (At Vance), Midnight (ex- Crimson Glory) in Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai, Ring Of Fire).

Death metalci pozor! 17. septembra bosta ponovno izšla albuma Grave - Into The Grave in Unleashed - Where No Life Dwells. Poleg že izdanih komadov bo na njiju še dosti bonus komadov in videospota, Soulless pri Grave in Before The Creation Of Time ter The One Insane pri Unleashed. /M.P./

Ponovna izdaja Angel Dust prvenca Into The Dark Past je postala zelo vprašljiva, saj je bilo v zadnjem času narejenih veliko piratskih kopij, ki so se na Wacken Open Air festivalu prodajale za veliko denarja. /M.P./

20. avgusta bosta izšli remastirani verziji Hail To England in Into Glory Ride od Manowar. Na to smo vsi njihovi fani nestrpno čakali, kot še na vse njihove bodoče remastirane izdaje, koncertne in best of albume. Na nov studijski album pa bomo že še počakali tisto leto, dve, pet... /M.P./
