Just the Tip: Our Most Anticipated Albums of Q2 2015

March 31, 2015

2015 in music, drudkh, faith no more, gorgoroth, Initial Descent, nekrogoblikon, q2 preview, upcoming releases

Holy hell…that time of year already, is it? Good lord. Q1 sure did come and go quickly, didn’t it?

Well, either way, here we are on the last day of March: another new release Tuesday that finds that particular week’s new releases out of luck—at least in terms of podcast coverage. (Don’t worry, we’ll still be reviewing them here on the blog throughout the week.) No, instead, Corey and I have each picked a couple of our most anticipated albums for Q2, and will be spending a chunk of time chatting about them on this week’s pod.

As you might remember, the last time we did this, it was just me opening my face about stuff I was excited about for the next three months—since we ended up having a pretty loaded podcast that week and didn’t have time for new or future releases. On this week’s episode, we will have time to discuss, and so I’ll spare you my babblings until then. All that said, here’s what we’ve got on our radar for Q2!
