With another new year underway, we expect dozens of new hard and metal albums. There are already a number of notable releases scheduled for the first half of 2024, with many more expected to be announced in the coming weeks and months.
The first few months of the year will bring us new efforts from veteran artists like Judas Priest, Ace Frehley, Ministry, Mick Mars and Bruce Dickinson, as well as a wide range of music from artists like Amigo the Devil, Chelsea Wolfe and I Work for a Cowboy.
While it hasn't been announced yet, fans can expect thrash legends Anthrax and Slayer's Kerry King to release new albums in 2024, while others can expect new LPs from groups like Deftones, Alice in Chains, and maybe even Guns N 'Roses.
We can't guarantee that all of the albums listed below will be released in 2024, but if most of them come to fruition, it should be another great year in the world of heavy music.
Check out our list of the most anticipated metal and hard rock albums of 2024 below.
