HAPPY NEW YEAR!
IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF A NEW DECADE, AND A BRAVE NEW WORLD AWAITS!
So, why did you get so hammered last night? Is it really right to start off a new decade sleeping off a bender? Well, I ain’t your mama, so my answer is: Of course it is.
If you’re like me, today may not be the best day to pound your head with metal — unless of course you haven’t gone to sleep yet, in which case metal is exactly what you need. Because if you go to sleep now, that means you’ll wake up feeling like toad shit. So, as your doctor, I advise you to listen to metal and don’t go to sleep. Ever. Be like that dude played by Christian Bale in The Machinist. Except eat more.
Now, where was I? Oh yeah, the new year. As we gaze into the bright new future, we’re thinking about all the extreme music that’ll be coming our way in 2010. We pulled together from various trade sources and internet prowling a list of extreme bands that have promised new releases in 2010, and then over the Christmas holiday your three NCS Co-Authors each picked the ones we’re most looking forward to hearing.
There were 21 bands that got at least 2 votes from the 3 of us, and that list is below. Not that we think you really care deeply about what the three of us are stoked to hear, but our brains are too fogged today to do anything but post lists. So here’s our list, and after the jump you can see the complete line-up we compiled of extreme bands who’ve promised new releases in 2010. (If you know of bands we missed, let us know!)
A Life Once Lost
The Absence
Acacia Strain
All Shall Perish
Arsis
Carnifex
Dark Tranquillity
Decrepit Birth
Devin Townsend Project
Ion Dissonance
Living Sacrifice
Meshuggah
Necrophagist
Nervecell
Neuraxis
Rotting Christ
Soilwork
Through the Eyes of the Dead
Veil of Maya
Whitechapel
Wintersun
There’s one band that isn’t on this list that deserves special comment — PIG DESTROYER. They’re missing for only one reason: Although there have been widely circulated rumors (which seem to trace back to this report) that Pig Destroyer will be releasing a new album next fall, we haven’t seen any confirmation from the band or their label. But we definitely hope the reports are true.
And now, after the jump, you can see a complete list of NCS Metal bands that have announced 2010 releases.
Here’s the complete list we compiled from various trade sources that we used to pick the bands whose releases we most want to hear.

Haha Chelsea Grin aka the triangle playing band.
I’m clueless.
And I’m also in the dark about the triangle playing. What delicious thing have I missed?
New to the site, but very glad to see Meshuggah is on that list, they are fucking awesome. I would’ve liked to see Austrian Death Machine, And Gojira, but oh well 😛
Welcome aboard! Hope you come back. As for Gojira, that happens to be the current reigning champion for all 3 of us on this site. We don’t agree on everything — but we do all agree that Gojira is the Second Coming of metal. But we didn’t have any concrete factual basis for expecting a new Gojira album in 2010. Gotta agree about Austrian Death Machine, but same reason holds for why they weren’t on this list — no evidence that this Lambesis side-project had a new one coming this year.
Even if Gojira isnt coming out with a new album in 2010 (I hope they are) The Way Of All Flesh was KIND of a dissapointment compared to From Mars To Sirius.
I mean sure, they grew as musicians (which I love seeing), and progressed along nicely, but it seemed like most of their songs had the same basic structure.
Lucky enough for me Im going to Summer Slaughter this year, so I dont have to worry about lack of good music for awhile 😀
Im taking it you have heard of Eryn Non Dae? If not, you can listen to them here

Havent seen a post involving them (maybe Im not looking hard enough) but it would be nice to see some thoughts/ information on them
All the best
Summer Slaughter is indeed going to be awesome. We’re really looking forward to that tour.
We’re definitely fans of Eryn Non Dae. We’ve done three posts about them, including an interview. Here are those links:

Thanks for showing me the interview/ post about french metal bands! Im currently at work (I work in a music store :D) So I have the freedom to listen to whatever I want mostly, and browse most of any websites. Hell, Im wearing my Cannibal Corpse T-shirt right now.
As for Summer Slaughter; I dont care who’s dead or in a coma – Im mostly stoked to see Decapitated. Im not stoked to see The Red Chord though… Fuckin’ pussies.
If ya ever want a review done, or want to talk music outside of this website , feel free to add my e-mail

Thanks for the contact info and for the offer. We’re also stoked to see Decapitated on that tour, but gotta disagree with you about The Red Chord — we’re pretty big fans of their last album. Here’s a little post we did when the Summer Slaughter line-up was announced:
