Coming Soon To A Clan Near You... A Metal Academy Preview Playlist
I know that, as it is the start of the month, another playlist is probably the last thing you need, but I thought I would see how this goes and have put together a playlist of preview tracks from upcoming releases that have me interested. I may run it like Daniel's Mixtape playlist and remove tracks as the albums are officially released and add tracks as new previews become available. You can let me know via this thread if there is anything that has you excited enough that you would like to hear a sneak preview and I will add it to the playlist.
Here is the playlist link:

Here is the initial playlist as of 2nd Sept:
1. Cult of Luna - "In the Shadow of Your Shadow" (from "In the Shadow of Your Shadow" due 6th Nov)
2. Sleep - "The Morrisist" (from "Hempispheres" due 3rd Sept)
3. Wolves in the Throne Room - "Ghosts Among the Obelisks" (from "Estuary" due 3rd Oct)
4. Archgoat - "The Dawn To Armageddon" (from "Nightbringer, Lightbringer" due 11th Sept)
5. Godflesh - "Living/Ending" (from "Decay" due 25th Sept)
6. Critical Defiance - "Rivers of Blood" (from "Rivers of Blood" due 25th Sept)
7. Enslaved - "Solar Will" (from "Mið" due 30th Oct)
8. Deathwards - "Supplicium (Lust)" (from "Realms of Sin" due 30th Oct)
9. Castle - "Truckgrinder" (from "Carrie Chains" due 4th Sept)
10. Epitaphe - "Windswept" (from "III" due 11th Sept)
11. Runemagick - "After Chaos" (from "After Chaos: Nocturnal Vigil" due 18th Sept)
12. Nordicwinter - "Requiem for the Forgotten" (from "A Hopeless Dawn" due 25th Sept)
13. Xentrix - "Allied with the Enemy" (from "Allied with the Enemy" due 30th Oct)
14. Pantheist - "The Final Journey" (from "Uncanny Times" due 30th Oct)
15. The Bleeding - "Immortal Flesh" (from "Godless Communion" due 18th Sept)
It’s a good idea, and it has already served some purpose as I had no idea there were new albums coming from WITTR, Enslaved, Nordicwinter or Xentrix (although a quick flick through my Spotify home page does show me Enslaved and Nordicwinter - doh!). As always, it comes down to time and keeping up with music (new or old) for me. I have even taken the plunge recently and purchased an Alexa so I can do some listening whilst cooking - and I have even figured out how to get Spotify on it, which I am well smug about. Never enough hours in a day, week, month or year for metal music though.
Yes it's a nice idea. I've actually been putting off listening to the Cult of Luna, WITtR, and Godflrsh, as I'd rather listen to them in the album context, but I may delve into some of the others. Dimscua have a new song as well. Unsure if this is from a forthcoming album though, so I listened to that one.
