Another exciting year for music lovers ahead as more and more artists (some of them hasn’t released new music for so long) are becoming more active in writing materials and recording since the start of pandemic. Next year seemingly becoming a busy year for touring acts as gathering restriction are gradually lifted, although the cost of doing one is another concern.

Cheers!!

8. Muse. Warner Bros./ Helium-3. New album projected to be released: Q3 of 2022.

There are news circulating about the band going to release new album, and it is very likely to drop later next year. Just a flashback, the band’s latest release Simulation Theory in 2018 produced so many great songs and satisfying 80’s elements in their music videos.

7. Avril Lavigne. DTA/ Elektra. New album projected to be released: Q2 of 2022.

After signing an new record deal with Travis Barker’s DTA Records, Avril will be back with full studio album next year, and based on the first taste of it ‘Bite Me’, fans are so happy the singer is revisiting her old style ‘punk girl’.

6. Queens of the Stone Age. Matador. New album projected to be released: Q3 of 2022.

The new album that heavily rumored to come in fall this year is nowhere to be seen, so a new projection is placed on the same period next year.

5. Paramore. Fueled by Ramen. New album projected to be released: Q2 of 2022.

After done with experimentation with solo records (which actually works), Hayley Williams are stated so ready to bring back Paramore, which will happen next year.

4. Slipknot. Roadrunner. New album projected to be released: Q2 of 2022.

After the success of their latest ‘We Are Not Your Kind’ in 2019 that features some of their heaviest songs to date (the album topped the charts both in US and UK), the gang is charged to release a new album soon enough. Based on the first taste ‘The Chapeltown Rag’, and if they are using a similar pattern to tease fans – anthemic ‘All Out Life’ released in the same time frame as with ‘The Chapeltown Rag’ released – then another banger album is on the way for sure! So the plan is to mix the new album in January and to release it two to three months later. We’ll see!

3. Avenged Sevenfold. Capitol. New album projected to be released: Q3 of 2022.

After a surprise-release of the 2016 record ‘The Stage’ to a critical acclaim (hehe..), this time the band are working on a new album, which should be out by late next year.

2. Ghost. Loma Vista. New album projected to be released: Q1 of 2022.

With the band successfully maintaining their fresh and unique sound and appearance over time, fans are so pumped for their new album which expected to drop by early next year, and will feature the newly appointed Papa Emeritus IV.

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Warner Bros. New album projected to be released: Q3 of 2022.

With John Frusciante back to the game and recording new album together (sorry to see Josh out), the Chili wins our attention for the most anticipated record next year. May they successfully deliver this time and brings us fly again!

Author’s 2021 Year-End Notes.

End Year Note of 2011

Apocalypse. Oh no! Is that true? Nope, I think… might be so, but at least that shouldn’t be occurred until we set our goals.

A year is just about to going by. What do you got? Oh, ya remember that song, exactly illustrated condition we faced nowadays. We starting our blog since February which exactly will reach a year after this new year. A big hope from us to give you more than the general media gives you, but still got nothing at least. Firmly I said that media makes you feel nothing, but the fact is different. Instantly, to make sure you understand we remembered Foo’s lyrics to The Pretender that for me (and hopefully is the true meaning of the song) drawn that social media hide the fact from you, that rock is over or just even never born. In other case, media also killing the real ‘rock’ and built up new mindset of ‘more (strange) alternative’ that’s not exactly match with the fact. We still can heard a good song, buy a CD, attending a concert, and others. But, you now that media seemingly deny it.

This year, Disturbed announce hiatus beside ‘focus on personal live’ but here it is ‘the demise of metal and hard rock genre’ [?] Umh, let me added become ‘the demise of rock music and others’. Sounds better, huh?

I know when you say Gaga (as example) is better, we can’t reject, but we shall not giving amount respect. Some people may say, it’s your way – get out of here! But history prove it, let’s see in mid 70’s to 90’s where you can’t find nude (red. sorry) hits appears.

‘Keep you in the dark, you know they’re all pretend’…

For now and in the future, we hope never again. Let’s deal with a commitment. Let’s doing something from tonight. Make the new year is the better feel.

1. Buy new CD. Choose the best sound, there’s some sounds that wouldn’t kill you.
2. Pick your best song. A good song usually release as single. Feel the beat, and make a sound!
3. Request on your local radio. This will help your fave song be listened up around your country and help it climb up various music charts.
4. Make a simple campaign. Feel free to sharing with friends, make a poster, or like rocker?
5. Buy tickets and go in concert. Don’t miss your fave acts in the nearest place they’re rockin’ too.
6. Write a review in the network. Some web (such as metacritic, iTunes) lets you write a review of album, song, artist.

So, take it all, and we’ll see that media can’t deny it anymore.

Other note, the 54th Grammys nominated Foo Fighters for six nods (wtf?), became one of the leader for the next year’s ceremony. Let’s share and build a hope. Flashing Dave said –

Don’t lose faith in Rock ‘n Roll!!
