Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk (4/15/0

The Finnish heavy metal band is at it again. Considering I haven't heard a Children of Bodom album I haven't loved, this should be another brutal release.
In Flames- A Sense of Purpose (everywhere except the US by April 0
A US release is definite, but at an unknown date. I don't know what to say about In Flames, they are an amazing band with an incredibly unique sound. They have changed a lot since their start in 1990. The last 4 or 5 albums were amazing so I am hoping this one follows.
Slipknot- Unknown.
Well the 9 piece mutant band has denied any recording, but all sources point to something stirring within the band. Only time will tell.
Metallica- Unknown.
Well after the personal disappointment of the legendary rockers last album I am looking forward to this release. Metallica claims they are going back to basics. The are going for a Black Album and previous type sound. Personally I think James should start hitting the bottle again...
