Heavy music fans had a lot to be happy about in 2023, and 2024 should be just as enjoyable.
Most of heavy music's big names – from veterans like Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne to rising stars like Bad Omens and Spiritbox – are gearing up to release highly anticipated new albums, and almost every subgenre has at least a few big releases to offer teeth into it.
A significant number of records are expected in the next 365 days. Here are around forty artists whose new albums are eagerly awaited by many fans.
Note that these artists have all been in the studio recently, some have already made official announcements, and will most likely (but not certainly) release new music in 2024.
